Non-spoiler review - as long as you've seen the trailer
Oh boy. Let's go through this. First, there is a bit that seriously comes off as racist writing.
Second, Johannsen's performance comes off as so one-note that for a good portion of the film, it's dull. Somewhat 'emotionless' protagonists have been played compellingly before, it can be done - off the top of my head, Prometheus and Hitman.
Thirdly, there are some seriously goofy sequences where the 'cool factor' is not very convincing.
Fourth, the science of the plot is poor to the point that I would guess that a significant percentage of viewers will be able to dispute it.
Fifth, Lucy's super-intelligence is occasionally abandoned for very obvious plot progression, which is annoying to watch.
Sixth, there are some cool visuals, I'll give it that. However, the meaning behind the final sequence is not very well communicated, leaving it feeling underdeveloped.
Seventh, it wasn't boring. It did keep my attention, but I recommend going into this totally as a popcorn film.
