That would be like a new underworld without Kate in black leather.
They already did that. It was called "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" and starred Rhona Mitra. In black leather.
I would argue that the Transformers franchise started on a downhill run.

Dawn of The Planet of the Apes. Just. Go. See. It.
So far, by far, top movie of 2014. Better than Edge of Tomorrow. CGI is amazing, cuz you dont even know whats CGI and whats not. Lots of action if thats your thing, great feel of the movie, very "Last of Us" feel to it, plus a great storyline that doesnt bore. I'm so glad i went to see it vs Transformers 4.
See it in non 3D. There is zero reason to see it in 3D, and the added darkness of 3D glasses would take away from the visuals IMO.
Easy 9/10.

I absolutely love the How to Train your Dragon movies. They really did hit the nail on the head with both films. It's animated and made for children, it has a lot of good and funny bits, it finds unique ways to get across good lessons and morals to children without forcing it down their throats, and it gets you to feel for the characters which not a lot of movies do well. I'd put them up there with the Toy Story movies as best animated films

Amazing movie, well done from beginning to end. Great story, amazing characters, amazing CGI, just good good good GREAT. As mentioned, ignore the 3D. I only saw it in 3D because the regular was sold out. Nothing about this movie needs 3D, nothing popping out at you to make you jump, really seems like 3D was not thought of at all with this movie, which I am completely ok with as I think its pretty much a gimmick in most cases. Cant say it enough, amazing movie, and really happy that the first movie took the time with the characters and back story to get us to this place.
Funny thing is I don't think that there's actually a category of award for what Serkis does.
Just saw the trailer for this, gon' watch that tonight.
Lots of guns, bombs, testosterone & 'xplosions. Just to bring the childhood out in me. Arnie never disappoints

Watched it last night. Classic Luc Besson movie with his eccentric filming style. It's a good mix of action and drama although it dwells a bit too much into existentialism. I'll be honest, some parts I didn't get the whole meaning off and I'll have to read other peoples take on it to understand. Overall I'd give it a 7/10.
If you were thinking between Lucy and Dawn of the planes of the apes. Don't. Apes win hands down.

I watched Boyhood last night, which I really liked

I would agree that "Lucy" was an odd mix of the existential and action, but that's Besson's thing. Maybe a little heavy on the navel gazing, but overall I enjoyed it. I would say that your 7/10 is pretty close. Maybe 7.5-8/10 when I'm in a particularly artsy mood.
As to the part you didn't understand I suspect I know which you mean. To that I will give you a one word, spoiler free answer; omniscience.
