5 Sci-Fi Movie Premises Debunked by Real Science

15 secrets behind the making of lucy, scarlett johansson's 10 best movies, ranked.

Humans don't only use 10% of their brains - the idea was debunked by scientists after Lucy 's release.
CPH-4, the drug in Lucy , isn't real - it doesn't unlock brain capacity and can even lead to cancerous growth.
Lucy 's transformation at 100% brain capacity transcends space and time, leaving behind a cosmic flash drive.

At the end of Lucy , Scarlett Johansson's Lucy transforms into a living computer and leaves Morgan Freeman with the keys to taking the human race to the next step of its evolution. Lucy is a 2014 movie written and directed by Luc Besson featuring performances from Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, and more.

After Lucy is kidnapped and forced to traffic the experimental drug CPH-4, surgically hidden in her own body, the bag is broken, flooding her system with the drug and allowing her brain to unlock new levels of consciousness. Initially, Lucy's abilities manifest as higher levels of learning and intelligence, but as her brain changes even more, her connection to time and space continues to shift. By the time Lucy unlocks 100 percent of her brain's ability at the end of Lucy , she becomes something else entirely.

We take a look at 5 science fiction movies that force us to suspend disbelief in actual science fact.

Is Lucy Scientifically Accurate?

Do we really only use 10 percent of our brains is cph-4 real.

The basic premise of Lucy is that the human brain has far greater abilities than most people can access. While this is true on a number of levels, the notion that humans only use 10 percent of our brain was thoroughly debunked by a number of scientists, including an article at Journal Nature , after Lucy 's theatrical release. The notion that human beings don't utilize all of our cognitive potential has been a sentiment among philosophers and scientists for centuries, although the specific 10 percent claim seems to have originated with Lowell Thomas' forward to Dale Carnegie's book How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936.

The claim that humans only use 10 percent of their brain isn't only inaccurate according to imaging scans and other scientific measurements, but it's also an entirely wrong paradigm to even use to measure cognitive capacity. While there's time and energy constraints on what humans are capable of accomplishing in a single day, physical and cognitive accomplishments continue to excel throughout time, so to say only 10 percent of the brain was being utilized would imply knowledge of a fixed upper limit of human potential and where we currently exist within that limit, which would be impossible to know unless the day comes where humanity actually hits the hypothetical limit.

When it comes to CPH-4 miracle drug that unlocked Lucy's potential, Lucy claims it's a natural chemical produced in tiny amounts by pregnant mothers to help babies rapidly grow their skeleton and nervous system, but that's also not entirely accurate. CPH-4 itself is an entirely fabricated substance, although there are special chemicals produced by mothers to facilitate rapid fetal development, just not any that are synthesized as a street drug, and certainly not any that are known to unlock brain capacity in adults. Most processes that facilitate rapid development in fetuses or young children result in cancerous growth when present in adults.

Scarlett Johansson took 2014 by storm when she starred as Lucy, the unexpected superhero who was a surprising mega-hit at the box office.

Why Didn't CPH-4 Affect Anyone Else The Way it Affected Lucy?

If jang knew the real effects of cph-4, he would have taken it himself..

CPH-4 unlocked the unused 90 percent of Lucy's brain, but it worked very differently for her than it did for anyone else. The only other person to be shown consuming any of the product was the test subject in Jang's office. He only inhaled a small particle, and while it clearly had some sort of effect on him, Jang shot him in the head before any clear results manifested. Meanwhile, Lucy was exposed to CPH-4 when the bag inside her stomach ruptured, releasing a large quantity directly into her bloodstream. It was immediately clear how it hit her differently, since she levitated up the wall, which the test subject in Jang's office didn't do.

If anyone in the test process had achieved any major cognitive boost, surely Jang would have exploited it for his own purposes, if not before Lucy, then certainly after.

Surely other test subjects used at least small amounts of CPH-4 during the drug's development process, but based on how little CPH-4 the test subject in Jang's office took, it's likely they never saw even a hint of the kind of effects experienced by Lucy. Additionally, Jang shot the man in his office who snorted just a single grain, and if that's indicative of how other test subjects were treated, it makes sense that Lucy is the only one to achieve the states she did. If anyone in the test process had achieved any major cognitive boost, surely Jang would have exploited it for his own purposes, if not before Lucy, then certainly after.

What Did Lucy Become at 100 Percent?

Lucy is everywhere now.

Lucy gained more and more access to her brain's abilities throughout the movie, but when she reached 100 percent, she became something else entirely. She had to sit still in a chair for several minutes as a shiny black substance covered her body and stretched out to all the computers and network equipment in the room, seemingly consuming them in the process. During this time, her body and mind completely changed on a cellular level as the movie depicts cells combining and other changes happening on both a molecular and cosmic level as she reached her full potential. When she reached 100 percent, she completely dematerialized.

Instead of asking "what" Lucy is at the end of Lucy , it would be more appropriate to ask where and when Lucy is.

After Lucy was gone, all she left behind was a cosmic-looking flash drive for Professor Norman. Del Rio also received a text from her saying "I am everywhere." Instead of asking "what" Lucy is at the end of Lucy , it would be more appropriate to ask where and when Lucy is. She hasn't simply transcended into a new physical being, she's seemingly transcended space and time altogether, leaving behind the cosmic flash drive like a miniature obelisk from 2001: A Space Odyssey to guide humanity on the next step of its evolution.

Scarlett Johansson is one of the most accomplished and popular actors of her generation thanks to her fantastic work in these great movies.

Lucy's Ending and True Meaning Explained

What's lucy's real message.

The opening scene of Lucy shows Lucy, posited by some scientists as the first-ever human based on a partial skeleton discovered in 1974. The scene has a voiceover from Scarlett Johansson's Lucy saying "life was given to us a billion years ago, what have we done with it?" During the ending of Lucy , as she prepares to reach 100 percent and begins to transcend time and space, she goes to see the prehistoric Lucy and reaches out to touch her hand, launching into a cosmic vision as Lucy sees the world rolled back, cells combine, and the universe unravels in reverse before her eyes ending with 100 percent.

Lucy's voiceover at the end of Lucy saying "now you know what to do with it" is a charge for Norman (and presumably the audience) to push forward and expand the scope of human consciousness.

At the end of Lucy, Lucy has evolved beyond a need of a human body and returns to the same question from the opening, instead saying "life was given to us a billion years ago. Now you know what to do with it." There's a few things going on in this moment. Lucy is passing on all the knowledge she gained from her evolution following her consumption of the CPH-4 on to Professor Norman so humanity can evolve, but she may also be introducing a bit of a paradox, as one reading could suggest she went back in time to give the prehistoric Lucy a spark of intelligence, touching fingers in a reference to Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam painting.

As Lucy explains to Professor Norman, our concept of time is entirely determined by our limited ability to experience it linearly, so what someone who is (hypothetically, using the movie's logic) only utilizing 10 percent of their brain would perceive as a paradox would appear entirely differently to someone who'd reached 100 percent actualization. Regardless of the reading, Lucy's voiceover at the end of Lucy saying "now you know what to do with it" is a charge for Norman (and presumably the audience) to push forward and expand the scope of human consciousness.

Did Lucy's Ending Set Up A Sequel & Will One Happen?

The story concluded, but there may be a spin-off.

The ending of Lucy didn't seem to set up a sequel, and with a decade gone since it released in 2014, there are still no plans for Lucy 2. Still, despite the ending closing off the story, there does seem to be some financial incentive, as Lucy managed to make over $460 million on a $40 million budget (via Box Office Mojo ). With this in mind, it does seem surprising that Universal Pictures (the distributing studio behind Lucy) didn't option Lucy 2. Director Luc Besson has also been asked about a sequel to Lucy, and his comments seemed to rule one out:

"I don't see how we can do one. It's not made for that. If I find something good enough, maybe I will, but for now I don't even think about it."

Besson's comments were made in 2014 (via Collider ), and he followed them up in 2017 with a Facebook post to confirm that he wasn't working on a Lucy sequel despite rumors at the time reporting that a script was in development. Still, while the story of Lucy was wrapped up nicely, there are some routes a sequel could go. For example, another person could use CPH-4 to gain a similar amount of power, giving the godlike Lucy something of an antagonist to face for the future of humanity.

While Lucy 2 doesn't seem to be in the works, there was a spin-off series announced in 2023 . While details are still scarce, including potential release date and what the cast will be, it was revealed that Morgan Freeman is in talks to reprise his role . Should the series go ahead then the story of Lucy will continue after all.

Scarlet Johansson stars as the title character in Luc Besson's 2014 sci-fi thriller Lucy, where a young woman who's forced to work as a drug mule accidentally develops superhuman abilities after an experimental drug leaks into her system. She is pursued by drug lord Mr. Jang (Choi Min-sik) and helped by both Professor Samuel Norman (Morgan Freeman) and police captain Pierre Del Rio (Amr Waked) while she unlocks skills far beyond 10% of the human brain's capacity.

Lucy : The Dumbest Movie Ever Made About Brain Capacity

An extended spoilereview of Luc Besson’s worst film to date

As the brain capacity of Scarlett Johansson's character, Lucy, rises, all semblance of logic plummets.

Every now and then a movie comes along that’s so beyond-the-pale sloppy, so disastrous in both conceit and execution, that it simply defies conventional analysis. It happened with The Happening . There was something unspeakably wrong with The Words . And Broken City was utterly beyond repair.

So, too, with Lucy , the writer/director/producer Luc Besson’s mind-bendingly miscalculated sci-fi vehicle for Scarlett Johansson. In its defense, I can offer only that Johansson is a moderately charismatic presence (despite playing a character who barely qualifies as a character) and that the film clocks in at a mercifully brief 89 minutes. That said, the sheer quantity of inanity that Besson squeezes into his limited screen time beggars that of awful movies of substantially greater length.

Consequently, what follows is not a review but a spoilereview. If you are genuinely considering watching Lucy —and I urgently recommend that you reconsider—you should stop reading now. If, by contrast, you plan to give the movie a pass and would like to have your good judgment ratified (or, alternatively, if you have stumbled out of the theater bewildered and seeking commiseration), read on. Because while Besson has made very, very bad films in the past—most recently, last year’s The Family —this is the first time he has made a film so idiotic that the only way to properly convey its flaws is to enumerate them.

1. The movie’s first image is of a single cell, shimmying in the light; then, in huge letters Scarlett Johansson ; then, the cell dividing via mitosis into two identical duplicates, and then four. This is what is referred to in Hollywood as “wishful thinking.”

2. We watch as an early hominid, Australopithecus, drinks water from a stream a few million years ago. In voiceover, Johansson asks us, “Life was given to us a billion years ago. What have we done with it?” Flash forward to a montage of modern metropolises buzzing away, full of cars and buses and skyscrapers and clothed people engaging in spoken language. Was Johansson’s question rhetorical? Because it actually seems as though we’ve accomplished quite a lot since we were naked and furry, drinking water from streams.

3. Ah, but now we’re in Taipei, and we get the point. A moderately unkempt Johansson—her character’s name is Lucy, and she is a student, though the latter fact is entirely irrelevant—is talking to a chump in a beard and foolish sunglasses outside a fancy office building. This is what she meant about our having wasted a billion years of life on Earth: However much we may have evolved otherwise, some of us—even some who look like Scarlett Johansson—still date jerks as self-evident as this one. This regrettable beau (they’ve been together a week) confirms the lesson by telling Lucy, against all available evidence, that he’s recently visited a museum. There, he made the discovery that “The first woman was named Lucy.” Yes, that was the Australopithecus we saw by the stream. Yes, this is the kind of movie we are in for.

4. Now it’s time for some plot, though I’m being generous with the term: Lucy’s semi-boyfriend is acting as a courier, transporting a small silver briefcase to someone in the office building. But he’s had trouble with building security in the past, so he asks her to take it in for him—he assures her it’s “only paperwork”—and to deliver it to a “Mr. Jang.” When she declines, he handcuffs her to the case, claiming that only Jang has the combination. So Lucy reluctantly goes into the building, asks for Jang, and is whisked upstairs by goons. The boyfriend is immediately executed, which can only be regarded as a relief all around.

5. Intercut with the previous scene is footage of a cheetah stalking, and ultimately downing, an antelope on the Serengeti. (Besson was evidently among the very few fans of Ridley Scott’s The Counselor .) It’s a metaphor, you see, for the bad guys who are closing in on helpless Lucy. In a little while, we’ll be treated a few more nature reels, though these will be used in a more literal fashion. After that, the movie will abandon the gimmick altogether. Rarely does one have the acute, real-time experience of watching a film recognize that one of its principal stylistic flourishes is so lame that it must be summarily discarded.

6. But back to Lucy. Upstairs she meets Jang, who is the kind of businessman who brutally murders people while wearing a $10,000 suit, and then rinses the gore off his hands with Evian. (He’s played by South Korean actor Choi Min-sik, of Oldboy fame.) Jang speaks no English, nor do any of the many flunkies attending him, which seems odd for a big-time Taipei businessman. So he calls an interpreter on the phone in order to communicate with Lucy. He then has her open the case, which contains a crystalline blue powder. His goons wheel in a junkie to test the stuff. After one snort, the junkie starts giggling wildly and they shoot him. Then Jang offers Lucy a “job,” she says no, and one of the goons punches her in the face.

7. It’s around this time that we’re introduced to our secondary star, Morgan Freeman, brought in with the obvious (though wildly unsuccessful) mission of lending scientific and philosophical gravitas to the proceedings. Freeman plays a renowned neuroscientist, “Professor Norman” (no first name necessary), who is delivering a lecture to a packed crowd of well-heeled attendees. He explains that most species use only 3-5 percent of their “cerebral capacity,” that human beings use 10 percent—a complete falsehood , incidentally—and that dolphins use 20 percent. ( So long, and thanks for all the fish !) He goes so far as to suggest that if we used more of our own brainpower, we’d be able to echolocate too, though he’s mum on the question of whether this would require us to wander around clicking all the time.

8. In addition to offering a variety of silly, daily-calendar-level bromides, Professor Norman makes the point that, when endangered, species focus on self-preservation, but when circumstances are safe, they focus on reproduction. This is an excuse for the second (and last) phase of the wildlife footage, in which we have an opportunity to watch a variety of creatures (rhinoceroses, tropical frogs) humping. I have no doubt that there is a fetish community devoted to such fare, but I suspect it requires a more rarefied taste than that of the average summer moviegoer.

9. Back to Lucy. When she awakes from her punch to the face, she’s taken to a fancy high-rise office suite, offered a drink in a cut-crystal glass, and told she’s had a minor surgery to implant a packet of that blue-powder drug, called CPH4, in her abdomen. She and a trio of other mules are to smuggle the drugs back to their home countries, where they’ll be retrieved by Jang’s men.

9a. A side note: When told about her unwanted surgery, Lucy replies “I don’t care about the scar.” Attentive viewers may recall that Johansson made light of a nearly identical injury/blemish in Captain America: The Winter Soldier . Is this a thing now? Is 2014 the year of the Scar-Jo abdominal scar?

10. Lucy is inexplicably taken to a cell that is as dingy as the office suite was opulent. There, a guard sexually harasses her and then kicks her in the stomach exactly where the packet of drugs is stashed . You’d think that a massively well-financed international drug cartel would remember to tell its heavies not to do this. The drug seeps into her system, and onscreen text shows us that she has now hit 20 percent of her cerebral capacity. Alas, she does not start echolocating. Instead, she immediately begins to levitate. (Take that, dolphins!)

11. As the movie progresses, we will regularly be kept abreast of Lucy’s increasing cerebral capacity (30 percent! 60 percent!). It’s a useful tool, enabling viewers to judge just how much more of the movie they will have to endure before she hits 100 and it’s over.

12. A non-comprehensive list of the powers Lucy acquires over the course of the film: perfect marksmanship, extreme agility, and instantaneous reflexes; the ability to control TVs and cell phones from thousands of miles away; immunity to pain and fear; telepathy, telekinesis, and clairvoyance; expertise in driving a car really fast into oncoming traffic; teleportation across time and space; and the capacity to alter her existing body parts or grow new ones. The one power she doesn’t seem to have—oddly, given the initial levitation—is flight. This is presumably because if she did, Besson would have no excuse to have her exercise her aforementioned car-driving skills to create rampant vehicular mayhem in Paris. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

13. So, to recap: A small amount of CPH4 makes you giggle. Somewhat more begins giving you all the powers noted above. Does this not make Mr. Jang the most inept criminal mastermind of all time? Why sell the stuff to junkies, when you could use it to create an army of super-soldiers, or to grant yourself god-like powers? And how can it be that no one else in the film, witnessing Lucy’s remarkable paranormal abilities, thinks, “Hey, maybe I should try a little of that CPH4 myself!” Half the film is spent chasing down the packets stashed in the other mules, yet despite rampant opportunities no one other than Lucy ever actually takes any of this all-powerful super-drug.

14. A couple more choice bits from Professor Norman’s speech, which is still being interspersed with the main plot: He notes with self-satisfaction that the human race needs to advance from “evolution to revolution,” which his upscale audience applauds enthusiastically, suggesting that they can’t tell the difference between a genuine insight and a sneaker ad. He also laments that “We don’t know anything more than a dog that watches the moon.” I fear that on the basis of this film it might be plausibly presumed that we actually know less.

15. But back, again, to Lucy and the central plot. She learns Chinese in a few minutes and busts out of her cell and into a hospital. There, she shoots a patient on the operating table and dumps the body onto the floor to make room for the surgeons to instead operate on her to remove the CPH4 from her abdomen. (This is an okay thing for her to do, because she’s also taught herself enough radiology and oncology to be confident that the other patient was going to die anyway.) The very concerned doctors explain to Lucy that CPH4 is a substance that occurs naturally in women during their sixth week of pregnancy (note: it’s not) that gives fetuses the “energy” to build their skeletal structure. How this fits in with everything else we’ve been told about “cerebral capacity” is left to viewers to puzzle out. Moreover, again, how is it that a bunch of random Chinese ER doctors seem to know more about the power and perils of CPH4 than, say, the pharmaceutical industry, the military-industrial complex, and the actual global crime syndicate that is smuggling the drug around the world?

16. While the doctors are operating on Lucy, she calls her mother back in the States. The first thing mom asks is whether Lucy is partying too much, which suggests (along with other hints along the way) that she may have had lifestyle-related issues in the past. Lucy says no, she’s fine, and then proceeds to go on a stream-of-consciousness soliloquy about all the things she can now, thanks to her enhanced cerebral capacity, remember with perfect accuracy—every kiss mom ever gave her, a cat they had when she was 1 year old, etc. It all culminates with this doozy: “I remember the taste of your milk in my mouth.” (Needless to say, this is a line that I will spend the remainder of the summer trying to un-remember.) The truly crazy part, however, is that after this long, super-creepy monologue, Lucy’s mom doesn’t ask the question that any parent in the world would ask under the circumstances: “Are you on drugs?” Instead, it’s just: Thanks for calling, hon. Great to catch up. Kudos on that whole recovered memory about the taste of my breast milk.

17. Lucy busts back into Jang’s place, stabs him through both hands, and reads his mind to discover the destinations of her three fellow mules, specifically Paris, Berlin, and Rome. My first thought was that Besson assumed that these are the only European cities with which an American audience would be familiar. But no, it’s worse than that: When the mules arrive at their stops, onscreen text announces “Paris—France,” “Berlin—Germany,” and “Rome—Italy.” This is doubtless to assist dimly provincial Americans who might otherwise have thought the mules were all headed for Texas, which has its own Paris , Berlin , and Rhome .

18. Lucy calls a policeman in Paris and tells him to alert law enforcement in the other two cities. She also gets in touch with Professor Norman, who is conveniently visiting Paris himself. She tells him that she’ll be at his door in 12 hours, which is impressive, given that a nonstop flight from Taipei to Paris takes a couple hours more than that and she hasn’t even headed to the airport yet. Is she bending time? Using her mind to make commercial airlines move faster? Put me on a flight with that girl!

19. Okay, Lucy’s not even at 30 percent yet, and this exercise is already beginning to feel as lengthy and punishing as watching the movie itself. So let’s start wrapping things up by noting that from here out, almost nothing of narrative consequence occurs. After a brief interlude in which Lucy starts disintegrating on her flight, she arrives safely in Paris and drives past the Tuileries at ill-advised velocity, causing a large number of presumably fatal car wrecks. She, the crime lord Jang, the other mules, her new policeman friend, and about 500 French cops and Asian gangsters converge on a hospital, where the latter two groups shoot at one another interminably, except for a brief lull when Lucy intervenes and makes everybody float through the air helplessly. She meets Professor Norman and some colleagues of his who, despite their accumulated scientific wisdom, do nothing except gape at how awesome she is and then help her to take all the CPH4 in order to crank it up to 11 and achieve 100 percent cerebral capacity.

20. Along the way, Lucy explains that “sounds are music that I can understand, like fluids.” I just had to get that line in. There are a dozen others nearly as bad/good.

21. She kisses the French policeman as a “reminder” of her humanity.

22. At 70 percent, Lucy starts vomiting pure energy and light.

23. At 80 percent, she grows slithery black tendrils and transports Professor Norman and his colleagues with her into an all-white limbo, kind of like where Harry Potter went when he was dead in that last movie.

24. At 90 percent, she begins journeying through space and time while wearing a black cocktail dress and sitting in a cut-rate ergonomic office chair. (She couldn’t at least conjure herself a nice Aeron ?) She visits Times Square, meets some American Indians, and encounters dinosaurs constructed out of CGI so primitive they look like a first-generation game on a Nintendo DSi.

25. 99 percent …

26. At 100 percent, Lucy vanishes out of her cocktail dress at the exact moment that an inconceivably still-alive Jang shows up to shoot her. What has become of our heroine? One of the random scientists gasps, “Look! The computer—it’s moving.” And indeed the machine, which is now also sporting slithery black tendrils, is forming something new, an object that it wants to offer to Professor Norman. It’s slender and obsidian and dotted with shimmering points of light. Is it some kind of otherworldly totem or talisman? No, it’s a … flash drive.

I promise that I am not making this up.

Johansson closes the movie with a voiceover echoing the one that opened the film: “Life was given to us a billion years ago. Now you know what to do with it.”

That’s right. What we are meant to “do” with this precious gift of life, our highest destiny and the final stage of human development, is to take massive quantities of drugs so that we can all leave our mortal flesh behind and evolve into glittery disco flash drives. Now you know.

Update, March 2015: If you enjoyed this, you may want to take a look at my spoilereview of the Sean Penn vanity action flick The Gunman.
