Lucy

[mallister]

did a search, didn't see a thread for this. if i missed it, nuke away! looks decent enough but i'm biased, i'd watch about anything with scarlett johansson in it.

Scarlett Johansson as bad ass super chic in action movie actually directed by Luc Besson? Fuck yeah! Also, Morgan Freeman.

[SamanosukeShiva]

so, Limitless with guns and magic?

[Abandon]

oh my. day one.

[Clash Perez]

The hastily contrived means by which she turns into Neo bugs the hell out of me. That said, ScarJo action superhero? Opening night.

[Meresgi]

So she's Alice from the resident evil movies?

Awesome, day one.

[Waraji]

So Lucy, as in Australopithecus Lucy. I see what they did there.

I like the trailer i saw a month ago better

[Cantih]

It's out, went and saw it today.
I enjoyed it. It's certainly better than Transcendence.

[Buffy]

Not terrible. Not great.

Hmm..

Spoiler: show

So Lucy is God now?
That's an awfully powerful pregnancy drug.
And since she is God she can time travel?

It's red-boxable, not really a movie flick.

Worth the half price ticket. Definitely worth a download. Great actors but it felt like they were forced through the script. Even Morgan's speech was off. Scarlett's glorious rack in literally even scene she's in made is completely redemable.

BG rating: 7/10

[Correction]

Movie sucked.

Not enough of scarjo's character acting human for you to feel any connection to her or her motivations, the pseudoscience crap was laid on far too thick and got in the way of an otherwise standard sci fi premise that works just as well without the overexplanation, the ending was pure garbage.

The car chase scene was fun though. Redbox this at the absolute most.

That's the point. When she's talking to Freeman over the TV, "I don't feel pain", "all the things that make us us", and so on. By the time she wakes up in the cell, she isn't human, just was human.

[Correction]

The point wasn't lost on me. I'm just saying it was clumsy, hamfisted and inconsistent. Willing to shoot a cab driver for not speaking english, but perfectly willing to

Spoiler: show

Let a tattoo artist leave the room and leave the primary villain of the whole adventure alive to come back and murder scores of cops on his way back to exact revenge.

Lucy is fucking stupid, lacking in any kind of redeeming qualities by the end of the film. You can't completely abandon the the moral core of your main protag and then expect the audience to cheer for her survival while the world burns around her. The movie was ineptly gluing together la femme nikita, johnny mnemonic and the matrix. It's just bad.

I wish that could go on rt. I liked your review

[Chrian]

I had looked forward to seeing Lucy. Saw it with my girlfriend and have to say it is an enjoyable science fiction movie.

[macross]

Waste of time, watch the trailer, that is pretty much all the action and badassery in the movie.
