An an Unaware Comedy, It's Perfect

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 2014)

Movies this bad often become self-aware and begin poking fun at themselves. Lucy is a joyous exception in which the plot becomes increasingly ridiculous without ever breaking its internal sense of drama.
*SPOILERS FOLLOW* The plot itself is about as vacuous as you could ask for. The main character immediately becomes unstoppable *and* super-intelligent. For the rest of the film the enemies pose no threat and she does not require any assistance. She does encounter some companions but the limited dialogue between them only amounts to discussing the movie's "evolutionary superhero" premise. Which is also helpfully explained by powerpoint.
The premise and the explanations in the film are as dumb as you could imagine, and the rare instances that isn't the focus of the dialogue it still managed to remain clumsy. And once Lucy becomes superpowerful she is essentially an emotionless automaton, so don't expect any moving acting either.
But it is a big-budget movie with big name actors and no one so much as cracks a joke the whole film, so as far as watching a bad movie because it's bad, this is by far my favorite.
