Unrealistic parts

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2013)

The film is very realistic overalls. But it seems to be some caveats here and there. Chris Hadfeld, the former ISS captain also explains it as beautiful and almost real. Here are the parts think they are not real: 1. In the scene were Kowalski cuts the rope, it is absolutely unnecessary. There is no continuous force to pull the rope and after he is not moving even for a short time, he will remain there. Isn't it pity such a nice guy kills himself for nothing ?
2. In the scene where he is falling to earth, we see still weightless conditions. As there is friction with air, the capsule will have a negative accelerations relative to whatever inside it, and everything should be pushed to the front of capsule.
3- It is not probable that ISS and Chinese stations are so near each other and have the same speed and direction, that they could be reached only using space suits without help of terrestrial stations.
4. There is a scene where Ryan uses a big wrench on the outer side of capsule without being fixed to somewhere. Usually she should turn herself.
