Good Setup But Gets Bogged Down and Generally Uninteresting

Rating: 6/10 (25 April 2016)

I agree with a couple of previous reviewers. To maintain real interest, we really need some conflict. I don't mean a bunch of Korean guys chasing after you. It has to be a problem the protagonist has to solve or at least deal with. Lucy unfortunately helps a friend and ends up in really deep stuff. She is used as a drug mule for a crazy drug that can up human intelligence. She was never intended to use but a guy assault her and breaks the bag inside her. She immediately begins to divide cells and transform into a new creature. The second criticism is a lack of explanation as to why she loses all compassion and empathy. She does have the revenge thing going but she is almost zombie like in her interactions with others. Is the point that we are just animals with reproductive and survival instincts? Other than teaching his classes and giving us a reference point, Morgan Freeman is of no use. He just stands around saying he doesn't know anything. Lucy eventually takes us on a ride through time but why. Is she just absorbing information. If so, what is she going to do with it. The long and short is that it is disjointed and relatively pointless.
