[Movie Review] Lucy (2014)
Introduction
%2BPoster%2B(wljack.com).jpg)
Due
to her boyfriend’s exploitation, Lucy is accidentally involved in a drug deal.
A bag of new and powerful synthetic drug is forcefully inserted into her body
to be transported to other place. When the drug leaked out from the bag, a
strange reaction occurred in her body and she started to gain more access to
her brain capacity beyond what a usual human could.
The Good:

- Intriguing Sci-Fi plot on how humans would become if their brain potentials are unlocked. It’s amazing to witness the works based on the writer’s creativity and imagination.
- Scarlett
Johansson! She has a lot screenplay time in this movie and has played
her role convincingly well from being a timid Lucy till become a super-powered
Lucy who becomes less human-like. Thumbs up for her impressive acting!
- Percentages
are shown as Lucy unlocks her ability one by one. It’s easier for the audiences
to keep track to her progression.
-
Ending scene has successfully left an impression for the audiences and left
them thinking and interpreting the meaning of the final moments.
- A lot
of cool and well-choreographed scenes in the scene. I especially love the
driving scene!
The Bad:

- Flow of the movie is often interrupted by too many documentary footages which might not be necessary.
- Other cast members
felt like extras. Even Morgan Freeman’s character felt like a cameo appearance.
- Cheesy scripts and lines
made some scenes laughable despite them supposed to be in darker/deeper mood.
- Inconsistent visual
effects quality and sound effects which do not harmonize well with scenes.
- Overpowered
protagonist outmatched the villains making it less thrilling.
