Interesting article about the upcoming movie Lucy and nominating it for the worst movie about science ever because it perpetuates the myth that we only use 10% of our brains. It does sound pretty stupid and so it does have to be up there, but the author asks for other nominees. Mine would have to be the Day After Tomorrow, depicting Global Warming as really a Global Ice Age - overnight! But maybe there are others.
I would however discount silly movies like Austin Powers from the nominations list. They aren't trying to be scientific. These are.
