My Review of LUCY (2014)

Watching the last 30 minutes of this felt like watching your friend bomb a class presentation...I was embarrassed for everyone involved once things devolved into a charmless AKIRA emulator. It was a cool concept and there were some fun high-tempo moments, but the final third felt so empty of anything specific to hold on to. The beginning was surprisingly fantastic, but there had to be a higher road to take than Lucy devolving (evolving?) into a literal computer. Tragically, this film doesn't age very well.
