re: Interstellar - things you LOVED and HATED about this movie

One thing I didn't like at all was casting Matt Damon as Dr. Mann. He just didn't fit the part of "revered scientist" very well. I feel like that really should have been someone older.

I also didn't like that Hathaway just had to go after the dead astronaut's data on the water planet. They landed, knew that time was their most precious resource in that scenario, and she still just had to try to retrieve the body and the data. If anything, send TARS after it and prepare to GTFO ASAP. That's not a mistake they should make... but I realize that it was also a plot device.
