    I was really excited to see Lucy. I really love the premise and the trailers made it looks like a really fun action flick. Well, Lucy surprised me in many ways, both good and bad, and proved to be one of the strangest blockbuster films I've ever seen. The plot follows a woman who is forced to take a drug that allows her to access 100% of her brain. It's basically Limitless with Scarlett Johansson. I'm going to do this review a little differently than my other reviews. I'm going to break it up into good and bad aspects so that it's organized because I have so much to say about this flick. GOOD: This movie's incredibly entertaining. The action scenes were really cool and the scenes where Lucy uses her powers were really cool. The special effects were outstanding, especially at the conclusion. The ideas for the plot were really unique and interesting, with some moments that were really bizarre and took risks that I did not expect from a movie of this genre! The best part of this movie is the risks it took. There were moments where the movie crossed into art-house film territory and had weird and random cutaways to animals and stuff like that. It just worked very well for the movie. The first half of the movie is also really quite good. The story is interesting and moves at a fast pace. Speaking of pace, this movie never gets boring and uses its runtime very well. BAD The ending of this movie was ridiculous and just didn't work at all. Maybe it's because I just didn't get it, but I found it very dumb and it just didn't work at all. Speaking of dumb, this whole movie was ridiculous and stupid. Yes, I understand that I had to suspend my disbelief and believe that at 60% capacity you could control all matter and basically have the powers of the Green Lantern, but it went a little too far. Especially when Lucy unlocked 90-100% of her brain, then it got even more silly. The characters were pretty horrible. There was absolutely no character development and I really did not care about any of them. Also, some of the characters made such bad decisions that it was laughable at points. The dialogue was mostly alright, but some lines were just so awful that it ended up being laughable. Example: "I remember the taste of your breast-milk". Overall, Lucy is a very entertaining action flick that tries to be incredibly mart, but ends up being so stupid and silly that everything it has going for it is ruined. Rent it. RATING: 6/10.
