Long distance and close up

Went to see The Martian yesterday. Man, that is quite a film. Incredibly beautiful, and a really, really well-written script. Matt Damon was fantastic, as usual. Just an all-around excellent film.
But...
( There were a couple things that bothered me... )
So yeah, wonderful movie. Too bad it got tripped up for me by such silly, obvious points. I still enjoyed it, though, and would recommend it to anyone. Just don't think that because it gets so much right, that it gets everything right. It is Hollywood, after all. ;)
P.S. Phil Plait, who writes science articles for Slate, has a great little post on the movie here, where you can see a funny little deleted scene, as well. Enjoy!
