Hi everyone! Today is a special post! It's time for a..
Like my new new shiny pink logo?
Oh movie reviews! You've been missed!
Anyway, as I stressed many times, I am a very busy person! For real! And it's not until recently that I've become somewhat more free to resume joining movie premieres. I am really jinxed. During my exam period there was a swarm of awesome movies that until today I have yet to watch. Maleficient, X-Men and Edge of Tomorrow just to name a few. And right after exam, out comes a bunch of movies that I'm not interested in. So when Lucy came about I was like.. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

The 'it' movie!
But guess what! It's a complete WASTE OF MY TIME! I have never been to a movie SO BAD that I complained about it all the way home and there's buddies to complain with me cause it really really REALLY SUCKED! Sadly I can only rate it ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (2/10).
And for those of you who are waiting to see my usual spoiler alert logo will have to wait till the next movie review. Not cause I don't want to show it off (I'm actually really really eager to show it off), but there is simply nothing to spoiler this time._.

Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman who are like the 9gag sensations are the main stars of the movie so it's only normal for it to receive this much of attention! Let's not forget the trailer that seems to be super super interesting!
If you haven't watch it then I suggest you watch the trailer and ditch the movie.The production team literally put the best scenes of the movies in that short 2 minute video. Con people by hyping expectations only..
Movie tickets!
Being stupid to kill time! Haha!
Extra ugly face cause I've been up since 830am and it was 9pm then. Tired.
That one and a half hours was really painful. The first half an hour was boring but it is still believable. But the rest of the movie was total CRAP! It's basically just showing off Scarlett Johansson and CG! The first half an hour I was still very hyped up and was expecting something good to happen but NO! It was followed up by more crap! That excited feeling eventually died down and became a mumble of....
When will this movie/AGONY end?!
I was genuinely excited again when the movie is about to end. Sci-Fi movies are really a make it or break it genre cause when it is overdone like in Lucy, it's a disaster! The CG effects are very very similar to Transcendence. Which by the way is also quite exaggerated but at least got Johnny Depp's amazing till the point of disturbing acting to save it.
Anyhow, Lucy does have really good CG. It's just that the effects are so good until it totally overshadows the storyline. CG is supposed to support the story and not be the focus of the movie. Regardless, I especially liked the scene where Scarlett Johansson's face is melting away and it was sagging and her eyes were all droopy. She scratched her hand and the flesh came out, exposing the muscles underneath. It was gross but pretty amazing CG.
On top of that, Scarlett Johansson is famous for her body and not her acting. So the entire movie her role is to make the exact same face and say her lines. And be creepy a bit by melting away! MONOTONE ALL THE WAY! She is like a robot.. Perfect role for Kristen Steward actually..

Director: " Make your best pissed off face and maintain it!"
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ABOUT OBVIOUS FLAWS IN THE MOVIE! It is totally not suspicious for a lady holding two guns to walk in a hospital. Oh wait.. No one saw it. MAGIC~~
It's also fashionable now to walk in hospital gowns.. right..
And somehow her brain installed Google translator instead of her mastering a new language. Brain power my foot!
I also got a little headache during the movie cause I keep imagining my brain expanding! Hahaha. Pain to the skull. Therefore, I was so tempted to sleep! What kept me awake was the hope that something good might suddenly happen!
There was virtually zero storyline. There was a little plot because somehow Scarlett Johansson decided to spare the bad guy that slit her stomach open and put drugs in her? Like.. WHY? They should change the title to "what happens when your brain expands". The main character should be the brain. It is also super ABSURD! Lucy can actually float when she initially got drugged; like an astronaut wandering in space. Oh by the way, this is the point where the story gets thrown out the window in favour of CG.
Of course, there's some good parts too. I like how Lucy gets to pop out everywhere! And she can control electronic devices! Quite cool! Morgan Freeman also played an okay job la. Good scientist.
He is as usual the go-to guy during a crisis.
Overall, not worth it. Perhaps if you like to watch CG then by all means, be my guest. I really will rather eat than spend my money on Lucy.
New post coming up reallyyyyy soon! See ya! :)
