1. Is this a horror movie about bats, or a preachy movie about pollution?
2. In the party scene, when the bats attack, Lucy and her close friends are not attacked, but many others are.
3. The bats are known to kill or to transmit rabies, but Lucy and her friends keep going to the bats without any protection (except a broom, sometimes).
4. Only one teacher's students are attacked. Are there any other teachers at this school?
5. What did Lucy use to catch the bats? This was never explained. It looked like some kind of huge sticky web, but where did it come from?
6. In the big finale, Lucy outruns flying bats (and she isn't even running fast), then manages to close a metal door without ANY of the bats getting through. She's not burned by the steam, either. I guess her broom protected her.
7. The editing in this film was atrocious, and the script wasn't very well written. Too many unexplained events.
8. One plus: Lucy answers the phone and says, "This is she." That's the first time I've heard CORRECT grammar concerning the use of pronouns following the verb "to be" in a LONG time. Usually, a character would say, "This is her," or "That's me."
9. Admittedly, Lucy looks good, but the skimpy outfits mentioned by another reviewer can be seen in only one scene, when the college girl leaves her window open and moves around on her bed in her underwear. Strangely, she isn't killed by the bats, but develops rabies. She didn't even realize that she had been bitten.
10. The final scene (three months later) made NO sense. Why was it included at all?
Sorry, but I wish I HAD missed most of this movie. I certainly can't see any reason to recommend it to anyone.
Final fotnote, added on 8/19/06: When Lucy fills a sample vial by dipping it into the polluted runoff from a waste pipe, she doesn't even wear gloves. Is THAT the sign of an experienced scientist?
