An interesting diversion, and nothing else.
This movie is very similar to “Transcendence” in that it is attempting to illustrate the possibilities of scientific discovery with a very popular actor/actress as a main character along with Morgan Freeman. The problem comes when the illustration is promoted at the expense of having an interesting story. In “Transcendence” the only conflict was whether or not the trans-human was still human and in “Lucy” the only conflict is how much theoretical quasi-scifi abilities can be shown off before the movie ends. What is even more perplexing is that the film might be moving its illustration so fast that people might not be able to follow it or appreciate what it means. I’m still not sure what the illustration was.
Scarlett Johansson is a spectacular actress but I prefer to see her again as Black Widow.
