Movies with major scientific defects

It is said, and for good reason, that cinema does not have to be realistic, but rather it must be credible in what is told in the plot. It stands to reason that stories simply must be believable in their context. A fictional movie should not be realistic, as it does not coincide or share the world we live in, but rather it must be credible and credible with the story it tells.

So Lucy shouldn’t have more power than an ordinary human being, a case that sends her straight to the movie set with major scientific flaws.

“Nucleus”

Journey to the Earth’s core to prevent it from stopping, thus cooling the planet and killing all humans. But the center of the Earth cannot be paralyzed, whatever the scientists say in this movie. Due to the Coriolis effect, the Earth’s core rotates because it also rotates with its own rotation. Scientists also confirm that aircraft will not be able to fly due to the suppression of the magnetism, but that the planes fly thanks to the engines …
