Today we’ve got a three-sentence micro review of Luc Besson’s Scarlett Johansson starrer “Lucy.” Besson is known as the director of blockbusters like “Nikita,” “Taken,” and “The Fifth Element.”
Just awful. The setup is not bad, and then it just turns into a double-whammy of the worst pseudoscience and the most gawdawful CGI, creating an unpleasant wankfest of ego and wannabe revelation that ends in a rank muddle. You can sense how bad Besson wants to blow our small minds with his cosmic wisdom, but the effort is so transparent and juvenile that you want to point and laugh. Not sure how Scarlett Johansson got roped into this, but she should fire her agent.
