quade 3 #6 April 16, 2015 akarunwayWatched Lucy last nite. If you enjoyed "Lucy" I'm sorry for what I'm about to say, but I thought it was the stupidest science fiction film I'd seen in a very, very long time. When I looked at the trailer and saw who was in it, I thought it had some promise. However, five minutes in it became clear it would be a crap fest.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #15 April 16, 2015 I watched The Imitation Game a couple of weeks ago and was left a bit underwhelmed. Some aspects were good - the performances were fine, and I liked the fact that they made Turing's character so unlikeable - but I thought the script was a real clunker. Some of the dialogue was bad to the point of parody: "Love just lost the Germans the whole bloody war!" Still, it wasn't a bad way to spend a couple of hours and my female companion enjoyed it - although it's hard to say how much of that was down to the Cumberbatch effect.

Niki1 1 #16 April 16, 2015 There was another movie in the '60s about the same thing, I think. Starred Christopher Plummer as a mathematician recruiting others to break a code. I don't remember the name or much else about it but I would like to see it again to compare to "Imitation."Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

From the trailer I'd hoped it might turn out to be a guilty pleasure at worst, but it wasn't even that for me. I did kind of like its ambition, but I think it would need to have been a much smarter movie to live up to it. Scarlett Johansson has been gaining a lot of kudos with some of the parts she's been choosing lately, but I'd say this was a misstep for her - and I wish people would stop hiring Morgan 'Gravitas' Freeman just to try and lend credibility to Hollywood fluff!
