Literary pseudo science fiction

It's not a black Martian, just recording my feelings after watching it:
1. Generally speaking, The Martian is not a rigorous science fiction film, but more like a literary film with a pseudo-scientific coat.
2. The gravitational slingshot effect that accelerates the spaceship and the annular cabin that makes the spaceship generate centrifugal force are really going to be ruined by space science fiction films in recent years.
3. The setting of the astronauts in the film is also very strange. Rather than a group of scientists, it is better to think of them as Marvel superhero wearing space suits and talking nonsense all the time.
4. The scientific part can't be more frivolous, there must be a slot every 10 minutes. Waltney reduced the weight of the return capsule by 5000kg, passed through the Martian atmosphere with an empty shell, and then flew to Lewes with great precision like Iron Man in space. Even the docking of the spacecraft can be blasted at will. Does the pressure really not cause the internal organs to rupture? If all this really happens, I just want to say that he was talking shit with the students at the end, all he can say is fuck the workbook, the cabin protocol, believe that he has a good life, and then point the cross and do whatever he wants. Bar.
5. China is once again used as the savior. From 2012, Transformers 4, Gravity to The Martian, in order to get the box office from China, various film and television bigwigs are also fighting hard. However, I feel that the current image of China in American movies is like the old black, always so selfless and so righteous, but it will never become the protagonist. Different from the old black image, for the sake of box office, the bigwigs still dare not let the Chinese image stand up for the protagonist to block bullets, and they died at the beginning.
6. Back to reality, I really feel that the Apollo 13 crew in 1970 was great. The liquid oxygen storage tank exploded on the way to the moon. The crew relied on the ground flight control guidance in a low temperature and low oxygen environment, and used the thrust of the lunar gravitational slingshot and the lunar module to return to the earth. All the movies are too pale and powerless in front of them, they are the heroes who are not perfect in the movies.

    Director Ridley Scott is very familiar with this Martian adventure theme. The comedy temperament provided by the original book has also been well maintained. But this feeling of fluency and proficiency made me a little bit dissatisfied--although it was a bit hypocritical.

    The creative power of director Ridley Scott is really amazing. The script is very neat and has a traditional taste. There is no emotional inspiration in this wild ball survival. It is more of a game between mankind and the universe with knowledge reserves. Follow the documentary science fiction, the visual spectacle will be less dazzling, but the sense of reality is strong. Although the theme of the film is survival, it exudes a cute and funny temperament...
