Lucy Audience Reviews

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
rafaelacavlina This is one of my favourite ScarJo's movies. I hear that a lot of people didn't like the movie, but I think it's definitely worth watching! I like this movie genre and it really suits her. I think that Scarlett had done an amazing job!
gmmontagnese A complete waste of time. Depressing and sombre movie with ridiculously implausible plot. Kept watching it thinking how much worse can this get?
Myriam Nys Violent and unpleasant movie built around two truly stupid ideas : a) the idea that normal humans use but a tiny part of their brain and b) the idea that one can become really, really, really intelligent by taking designer drugs. In fact, taking designer drugs won't simply make you smart : you will be able to levitate, fly, build revolutionary computers, travel through time and space, read minds, render yourself invisible ! It's very reminiscent of the old joke about the little boy asking for tampons as a birthday gift, because with tampons you can do everything you would like to do - go swimming, play tennis, climb mountains, and so on.A small question : have you ever heard of "endocrine disruptors", chemical substances disrupting the hormone system of both animals and humans ? Such disruptors are, or can be, present in all kind of household products and plastics, such as cosmetics, food containers (think meals to be heated or reheated in the microwave), baby toys, packaging, and so on. Studies have linked the presence of such endocrine disruptors to serious threats to human health, including a diminished intelligence in descendants. Even if only part of these fears turn out to be true, then we're facing a health crisis of stupendous scope and gravity, for which thousands and thousands of innocents will be paying the price. And while we're at it : a general lowering of the IQ is precisely the thing that causes the collapse of a civilization. As a result we're talking about an existential threat.Now here's the strange thing : if you go to a major studio and say something like : "I dream of making a big budget blockbuster, with stunning stars, about the link between environmental pollution and human health and about the danger to our children's intelligence" there is every chance of being laughed out of the office. In fact, there is every chance of you being escorted from the premises by security guards. And yet there is money and interest to be found for random nonsense such as "Lucy". Upon reflexion, perhaps this DOES prove that homo sapiens only uses part of his brain...
filsob This is possibly the dumbest movie I've ever seen. Definitely top 5. I was shocked to see it's been written and directed by Luc Besson. He actually had some good movies.The good news is this is so stupid, that you might actually watch it as a comedy, if you don't mind a disgracefuly pretentious storyline.I read some reviews afterwards, and in one of them the author calls it "unscientific". He says "only 1/5 of it is science". REALLY? What has he been smoking? This movie makes absolutely no sense, it's completely irrational from the very start to the last scene. Don't even try to watch it without good pot.
