A movie about brains, with none.

Rating: 2/10 (3 December 2014)

Wow! I watched this a week ago and I'm still livid with myself.
Luc Besson does a great job in overstating every aspect of this movie - be it through cutaways to stock footage to re-illustrate what's going on, or employing Morgan Freeman to verbally explain the plot as it happens. Subtext clearly a hindrance for cinema-goers, Besson leaves no stone unturned as he dazzles us with shots of animals hunting prey to tell us something bad is about to happen, title cards to inform us what percentage of Lucy's brain she's using, Lucy's voice-over, or indeed, Morgan Freeman's voice-over - which is cleverly disguised as his character's dialogue.
Hopefully they'll someday release an interactive version, which will show the movie's viewers what percentage of THEIR brain they're using, and administer a dose of tranquilisers any time it ventures above zero.
For a movie that wants to explore the impossible, all it really explores are a bunch of hackneyed action B-movie plot devices - which is fine if you're thirteen years old - otherwise, I'd steer clear. I felt used after watching it.
