Movie Review: Lucy

Everything cultural, pop or otherwise. Books, movies, music, comics, poetry, random cultural geekery.

In other words, good choice for redbox or netflix, but not worth ten bucks to watch it in the theater..

I haven't been in a theater in years. Three years, I think. I've got a nice TV at home, and I can hit the pause button whenever I choose.

Maybe if Hollywood would make a movie worth paying the toll, I'd give the big screen another chance.

It has to be worth seeing on IMAX and/or 3D, otherwise I'm fine. SWMBO bought a 80" TV to go with my sound system, so for anything less, we might was well wait for Redbox or Netflix.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Just trying to think, the last movie I went to, specifically to see a movie, was Alamo. Since then, the only time I've been to the theater was to take the grandkids to see Cars (and I think I enjoyed it as much as they did.

2006 was the last time I was in a theater.

I broke a self-imposed exile of 20+ years to go see the first new Star Trek movie when it came out. I found myself wishing I'd continued the exile. :roll:

The last movie I went to see was Godzilla. I liked it, but then I'm a fan of the genre.

Before that? The Avengers, which had my mouth hanging open in shock - not many films open with the leveling of a coupla city blocks, and then promptly go up from there on the Awesome scale. Turns out that it was also the first movie my youngest nephew has seen in a theater. He couldn't shut up about it to his grandma. :lol:

The kids wanted to go see Lucy, so I went with them. It's like it had some interesting ideas, but it didn't know where to go with them or how to end the movie.

I half expected some English policemen to drive up in the prelude to the attack on the castle and arrest King Arthur before the credits rolled.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

On a scale of 1 to "Ultraviolet" how so-bad-it's-good is it?
