Such a high IMDb score for a silly film...

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2016)

How did this film get such a high score? Not only it contains the usual anti-scientific flops, but is also mocks finances. How expensive is it to put a small satellite on the orbit? Now they go to Mars and even return to Mars, they get that expensive help from the Chinese... tens of billions of dollars just to save one foul-mouthed guy?? People have found numerous elements of stupidity in this film, but here's another one to consider: how come the guy never sees the Earth on the sky in those 500 nights? How moving such a scene would have been? Him contemplating the home planet on the sky just like we watch Mars from the Earth... And how easily and recklessly and childishly the crew decides to return and consume (waste) another 500 days of their lives in a fantasmagorically huge spaceship...
