Are you kidding me?

Rating: 3/10 (31 July 2014)

I just finished reading a review from a person who praised this movie and claimed Inception (Christopher Nolan) was predictable. I tell you, that's probably the funniest thing I've ever read.
Lucy, a movie written and directed by Luc Besson, fails to offer any surprises or shocks. Everything that was meant to "wow" the audience was put in the trailer. And for the small bit that wasn't in the trailer was incredibly predictable and unoriginal.
The script itself swayed back and forth from intelligent to stupid constantly through out the movie. Now, I'm looking past the fact that this movie is based on a fallacy and I believe everybody else should too. I mean come on, you don't go into transformers thinking that could ever happen. You must be willing to suspend your disbelief every single time you enter the theater. But even so, this script lacked any kind of emotional pull or original violence.
I'll admit that this movie started off strong, and it had my attention. But soon after, it lost me completely. The direction swayed from it's potentially good course, and went the typical Hollywood root. That disappointed me greatly.
Last thing, is the ending. I didn't know what the hell that ending even implied. It was so unsatisfying and awful that I awkwardly stared at my spouse when the credits started rolling as if to say "what the hell did we just watch". Now, I've never written a review on here, but for this movie I had to. I really did. So if you're honestly going to compare Lucy to any movie, don't compare it to a movie as complex and original as Inception. That's just ignorant.
