Scarlett Johansson Shines in a Mediocre Summer Hit

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2014)

'Life was given to us a billion years ago. What have we done with it?'
Don't get me wrong, Lucy is a step in the right direction for action/sci-fi movies, especially on the visual effects side of it as they were incredible to look at. It was a great build up of a movie with each stake getting higher and higher as we watched. But unfortunately even with the amazing Scarlett Johansson (and she was amazing) in the lead kicking some ass, don't expect a complete sci-fi revelation like Edge of Tomorrow. Expect a sci-fi action thriller that is smart enough to give you some fun summer entertainment, but at the same time will leave you a bit confused towards its closing credits.
Rating: 6.5/10
