Does not follow the laws of physics, but still an amazing movie/story!

I loved this movie!
I understand that the whole premise of what this movie is based on is practically impossible, but that's just it...it's a story! This is not a documentary!! This is purely a story showing what one man did to survive on Mars and it is a fictional story!!
I loved this movie because of what he did to survive. He solved all of these problems on his own until he reestablish communication with NASA. And even after establishing communication with NASA he sometimes ignored them, he had fantastic jokes and the connection that they portrayed with his crew mates was fantastic.
There are some questions that I've seen people posting in the reviews like: "... growing a potato over soil not tested fertilized with astronauts "poo"... what about bacteria? ... why he had potatoes in a Martian station?"...
To answer these questions: (I believe) it's mentioned in the movie however I have read the book multiple times so I might be getting that mixed up but it is at least mentioned in the book.
1)He's the only freaking astronaut on the planet hence his "poo" bacteria has already come out of him so it's not going to get him sick. 2) he had potatoes that were not the normal way astronauts would eat food in space because they were (supposed to be) there over Thanksgiving. So NASA thought it would be a great morale booster to have them eat an actual Thanksgiving dinner (or close to it).
This person has three others listed, but again if you actually read the book that this movie is based off of it answer all of these questions. Just because you don't like the movie does not mean that it's bad it means it's a movie so they don't have as much time to go into detail as the book does. Do you say that Lord of the rings and the hobbit were not as good because they didn't explain some things? No, you understand it's a movie (and a long one already) and that there are going to be things left out.
Bottom line that I have to say about this is: I think it's a fantastic movie. There are obviously mistakes but your average person is not going to notice them because they're not gonna know that there physically impossible or that NASA doesn't run a specific way. If you're unsure after reading my and others reviews that may be similar or very different my advice is to rent it if possible or borrow it from someone. Or if you're still not sure just read the book it's better anyways!!
P.S. The story is set in the future therefore it implies that things have changed maybe not significantly but enough to be a change from what is currently happening now.
