I saw it in the movie theater yesterday and I constantly had the feeling that I've seen it before. To me it felt like the writer took parts of several movies/genres and combined them. Add some special effects (lots of them) and the result is Lucy.

- Some flying cars
- Shooting in a building with statues being destroyed
- Angry Asian gangsters
- Some flimsy "science" background story
- Random scenes from BBC's Nature documentary

The whole thing together just didn't do it..

I loved It. It was weird in its own way and it gets away with it. Also, I like the way this superhero is created and 'destroyed'. Incredibly interesting and refreshing IMO.

If you liked this movie, you know you need education.

The entire concept of this movie is completely ridiculous. How would reaching 100% of your brain's potential give you god-like powers and turn you into pure energy? It doesn't make any sense.
In my opinion Limitless explored this same theory in a much better way.

I liked it.
It's a fun movie, it doesn't make any sense, but fun nonetheless.

During the opening twenty minutes or so, I could feel the Saturday afternoon matinee attendees squirming in their seats over the collective strangeness of "Lucy". All of those interspersed shots of cheetahs pursuing gazelles with a drug deal wasn't exactly difficult to pick up on, but I could tell the people in the theater weren't expecting such an oddity. I'm not a movie snob, but I was having as good of a time seeing the reactions of the crowd as I was watching the movie.

"Lucy" was always entertaining despite the fact that the whole premise of using on 10, 20, 50 or 100% of your brain is ridiculous. Scarlett Johansson was terrific (my crush grows), Amr Waked was a great sidekick and the car chase kicked my ass.

This has many breathtaking visuals and some brutal violence but "Lucy" is strange in many wonderful ways. It's good to see that something a little different, something not a sequel or a comic book adaptation, did well at the box office.

Great movie till Lucy reaches 60%.

I have never been more disappointed.
Plot-holes and illogical decisions bug the entire experience and plot itself is not that good to begin with.
2 words : wasted potential!!!

Extreme ScienceFiction. Starts with action (fiction) and ends with bizarre philosophy (pseudoscience). Scarlett Johanssson is a great action hero. Morgan Freeman brings narrative and humanity. The ending is meant to be a supreme intelle-gasm. The cerebral imaginings will captivate some but lose most. I give it a 7 (good attempt) out of 10. Special effects are epic though.

'Science' lesson crossed with an action movie. I could empathise with Lucy. I took an out of date Lemsip last week and I experienced many of the side effects she goes through in the film. I tend to use 87% of my brain anyway so it was nothing new. Fear me mortals!

Sure, Lucy is a pretty stupid movie, especially since it's a movie about intelligence, but that does not mean it's not entertaining. That it looks gorgeous and sounds amazing, help the enjoyment as well. If you let the analyzing part of your brain rest, and just enjoy the exciting, visual spectacle, I'm pretty sure most will enjoy Lucy as well.
