Does anyone remember the Apollo 13 mission where they had to build a CO2 scrubber to clean the air? One would expect that someone at NASA would. What do you think the odds are they would launch a mission to Mars without at least 1, if not several fully functional replacements. I certainly did.
So when the whole mission goes to hell because the SINGLE CO2 scrubber on a two year long mission to Mars is broken beyond repair .... well that is kind of hard to believe.
Then they go outside. The majority of the time they are untethered. When climbing a pole they go hand over hand, some of the time, without being tethered and, occasionally with BOTH hands off the pole! Any climber knows you always keep 3 points in contact and only move 1 at a time. In this case they only have 2 but you would NEVER take both hands off even if you were tethered, which they are not.
Then the most important thing they are carrying slips and flies away. Why? Because it wasn't tethered either. Smh
There are other flaws but those alone are enough to remove all possibility of suspension of disbelief.
This is all the writers fault for not having a clue they were doing.
Acting is good enough and so are the special effects.
It the braindead plot that turns a 7 into a 3.
Shame on everyone involved for not demanding the script be rewritten to be at least close to plausible. :(
