A positive movie but forget about science

Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2015)

I liked the movie, much more than Prometheus or Interstellar. A big fan of Ridley Scott, I would possibly watch anything directed by him. And the pluses are for this movie: a lot of humor, which you have seldom seen in latest sci-fi movies. Also, the very active and strong character played well by Matt Damon (I really liked him) was a plus.
However, if only some ground rules of biology were present: as a Scandinavian, many of us still grow our own potatoes, at least find out how to grow them: they are certainly not cut in half and just placed in soil. As well, after several hundred days of non-gravity (space) or low gravity (Mars) and all the cosmic radiation, people will have substantial loss of muscle and bone tissue and probably will not be able to conceive any more, rather develop carcinomas. This really could have been brought up in the end of this film or at least as an ethical issue at the part where the mother ship people decide to spend 900 days in space. I don't care if the original book did not mention it,this should be common knowledge by now. OK, maybe it would not have suited the script but movies really could do more for science.
