jinasphinx | I was going to write something about "Lucy" (Reply)

(the Luc Besson film starring Scarlett Johansson) but my friend

amnesiack described it so perfectly over on Google+:

Watching Lucy is like playing a one shot rules light RPG in the three hour slot at a convention. At first you're really taking your time, establishing scenes, characters, and details and making sure that the established fiction is really respected and built on deliberately. Then you realize you've only got thirty minutes left in the slot, and suddenly you're just rushing to get to the end, ignoring details, and not worrying too much about how things mesh together. Then you've only got five minutes left to play out the climax, and +Gray Pawn is over here describing a giant gun battle while +Jackson Tegu is describing a montage of scenes from history back to the dawn of time, and you're just trying to figure out what happens with the organic supercomputer you established in the previous scene. Then it's all over, and it doesn't really make sense, but the first half was so cool, and now you're really more concerned about where to get food before the next slot starts anyway.

And that really just sums it up.
