Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 How would you rate it out of 5 stars. 5 being excellent 1 being horrible. Please, NO SPOILERS. It looks very interesting, but before I drive all the way to a Redbox, I'd like to know if its worth checking out.
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Weird. It said 'can anyone recommend for or against the movie Lucy' without any spoilers' in a nutshell. Maybe my title was too long. Perhaps a mod can fix it for me, I'm on a mobile device and its difficult to navigate. Thanks for the heads up.
Bebop Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Could be an artifact of being on mobile right now. Haven't seen it. But I'll prob rent it.
Earthling789 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 It wasn't bad... worth renting... It was well done with cool effects, but I feel they could have done better with the ending. WillBlack 1
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks for letting me know Bebop. Earthling, exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks for not posting any spoilers while still providing me with the information I asked for
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks Jeff, I'll give it a try to then.
T-Bone Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I thought it wasn't very good. I like that director, too...from Leon: The Professional. But this was kind of a letdown, imo.
tazl37 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 It was worth seeing but I too feel they could have done better. T-Bone 1
T-Bone Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 It seemed like they had a really good idea but failed in executing it in the third, final act. Jeffb 1
Tug Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I just watched it last night.I'm a sucker for Scar Jo so I liked it,even my liking for her aside I thought it was well done.I give it 4 outta 5 stars.
shawn.hoefer Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 4 out of 5. Seen it twice. Will own it some day...
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 Thank you everyone for your input. I'll be renting it tomorrow and I'll post my rating as well.
T-Bone Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Let me know what you think. I believe that it could have been a fantastic examination of the philosophical implications of brain evolution, but...no spoilers, ScarJo's performance lacked what I think could have been a great opportunity to talk about the amazing progression of evolution given environmental and psychological input. I simply think they copped out at the end. all just my opinion.
Tug Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I'm watching it for the second time tonight.I really dig it.
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 I could watch Scarlett Johanson drawing stick figures of Armadillos fighting giant purple grasshoppers and I'd be thoroughly satisfied. So I'm sure I'll enjoy her performance just fine. T-Bone and Tug 2
T-Bone Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 To be honest, and I love her as much as the next guy...but given the source material the philosophical implications of an idea they put forth, it's her performance is the exact facet with which I take issue. Perhaps it's poor direction or a meandering, flat-on-its-face elivery of her problem that brings the movie from a 7 out of 10 to about a 5.8-6.1. Let me know what you think after you watch it, but separate yourself from your admiration of her...I had to.
Tug Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 It being a sci-fi thriller I wasn't disappointed in how they did it.I think shes a fantastic actress with my admiration for her boozums aside.
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 I'll take that into consideration, brother. Its just so hard (no pun intended... But its there haha) not to drool over her. She's a gorgeous woman. So, worse comes to worst, the eye candy factor will be there. Will report back with my thoughts after the show. Thank you very much for your informative review.
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 What the **** did I just watch? Good thing Scarlett's so damned beautiful because that movie was.... I don't know what it was . haha
T-Bone Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 It was crap. They took a great idea and turned her into this non-caring, apathetic robot. So, I guess that's what they think 100% of brain utilization is: complete and utter non-caring for others...and lots of guns that never need reloading.
Vapin On Cloud 9 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Right you are, T-bone. Could've gone a million different ways. Not sure why they chose this route.
