Enter the Void was incredibly exhausting for me, but now I know what it would have been like if it was less exhausting and had an action movie plot shoehorned into it. The ending of Lucy borrowed from 2001: Space Odessy as well with a string of images from space as well as some scenes that are supposed to convey something deep and esoteric.

But so what if the movie it fails to be as spiritually deep as the concepts it uses as a foil? Well, it doesn't do stupid action very well either. Lucy, even at her lowest level of enlightenment, can kick everyone's rear end so nothing is exciting at all. I have zero idea what the function of Morgan Freeman was to the plot. His useless character was really just a narrator telling you exactly what was happening to Lucy's mind, when it might have been more interesting to leave that out.

I liked Her better, which doesn't illustrate how much I liked Her, which was a lot.

2.5/5 The graphics were pretty and at least there were some philosophical ideas, but they were handled ineptly.
