Lucy, I want a divorce.

Rating: 3/10 (19 October 2014)

No. This is not something I am happy to pay money for. Before a movie like this gets made, they should go over the script that was loosely sprawled over a napkin and have a good think. This was bad.
Why? The reason is complicated. In all honesty, there is a fair bit in the movie that can be liked. The performances are on par with a blockbuster movie and all have done well developing their characters. There is good camera work and the story is a nice original take on the "becoming powerful" story that has become common place as of late.
The film starts off with a powerful first act. This being said, the random cut-aways to stock footage takes some getting used to. This isn't a problem as throughout the movie this device gets dropped pretty quickly.
After the first act is where the story starts to walk its fine line of good and stupid. It doesn't take long to find out that this movie sadly takes the latter path.
The 3rd act finishes, leaving the movies great concept and potential in shambles on the floor. I really wanted something great out of this, but in the end it all felt rushed and not thought through. I am hoping in 25 years time someone re-thinks this movie and gives it another shot.
3 stars for trying. Everyone gets a medal.
