Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Rating: 2/10 (25 August 2017)

Written and directed by Luc Besson with Scarlett Johansson in the lead role and Morgan Freeman with the same performance as always, that is, he does not even need to act, he just needs to be Morgan Freeman. Lucy (Scarlett) suddenly sees herself as a "mule" in a drug business; when the drug breaks free inside her body she undergoes a transcendent transformation, that is, she does not get "high", she does not get "stoned", she does not die from "overdose", she only "trips a little" and in due time manages to use all the functionalities of her brain up to 100%... to beat the crap out of the bad guys. "So what about all the knowledge and wisdom that comes from such an advanced mind to help humanity?", you ask. Well, that's really not needed, because now she can satisfy her thirst for blood (or that of the viewer) by being some type of super-ninja with super-powers inside the Matrix, in a race against time before turning into a super-quantum-D-Wave-type computer that self- destructs when Freeman pulls out a pen drive that contains the knowledge that can lead mankind to the next level of evolution. Besson, listen to me: stay off the drugs.
Bad premise, bad sci-fi, neither science nor fiction are credible. But some people will guarantee you that this is an inspirational film and that it is thought provoking... go figure!!! Evolution my a**!!! 2 stars because effects... affects brain, hurts... shutting down... I'm nowhere.
