Pros
- After a slew of 2 1/2 hour blockbusters, the movie's 90 minute run time is refreshing in many respects. It's briskly paced and never drags.
- The scope of Lucy's powers are rather jaw dropping. Her speeches about the nature of the universe are also rather compelling.
Cons
- For a movie with a silly premise, it takes itself rather seriously. It gets to the point where you could go so far as to label it as pretentious. The movie's opening scenes are especially heavy handed with "symbolism".
- As fast as the movie moves, the characters are as flat as they come. Lucy has no real traits and her journey is rushed. Her cop sidekick does nothing and Morgan Freeman's character is there purely to explain things.
- Interesting ideas are glossed over as the movie doesn't have time for it.
Overall
The movie has noticeable flaws. That being said, it held my interest. It's worth a watch, but I'd advise renting this, as opposed to going for the full purchase.
