It's a good movie as things go these days. Actually if you didn't notice the science problems
you might love the movie. So I expect the lay people to like it as they should.

Here is what bothers me.

The science problems could have been mostly fixed VERY easily and still make just as interesting
script for the screen. Supposedly they had scientific consultants.

But how can you excuse or fail to rewrite a sub plot line where the crew descends to a planet surface
and returns in 3 days to find 21 years has passed on their orbiting mother ship.

And there are dozens of dozens of good points raise on the internet about the weak science.

The weak science was obvious and surely could have been fixed with minor script changes.

Well I will play my card. Is there a conspiracy to dumb down the public WRT science??

Consider that a movie like 2001 a space odyssey would never get made in todays world.
And that makes me really really sad...

For a realistic, futuristic movie, I would recommend Idiocracy.
 
urgross, I had to star that recommendation... unfortunately we are already living the prequel to Idiocracy!
 
Technically we're living the prequel to every movie set in the future of this world. :)
