Loopey Lucy!

Rating: 4/10 (30 November 2014)

We use less than 10% of the brain's actual power, what could possibly happen if we used more than that is what the film based its story upon. Sounds exciting? Definitely! As you start to watch the film, the promise is definitely there to explore the uncharted territories of the human mind but no, do not expect some thought provoking , mind stretching imagery on a theory that has intrigued scientists for decades. Not from director Luc Besson, you would not expect a film that just touches the surface of the power of the human mind. Instead we are treated to standard cheap action sequences that make Scarlett reprise her tough girl image from the avenger movies and soon the movie drops to the level of the weekly mall movie tripe. Without putting in a spoiler: the ending of the movie is the most laughable, incredibly dour and stupid ending that would make even the least cynical viewer cringe. Again, IMDb ratings are misleading? 6.5 for a piece of trash? Come on , IMDb!
