The screen graphics are actually the thing that bothered me the most about the film. Some of them were fantastic, some of them were ridiculous. The CALCULATIONS CORRECT was the worst but there was a clear problem with font sizing in general. The fonts were either way too small on all the detail oriented screens or way too large (whenever the moviegoer was supposed to read something). Just look at the huge overhead screen at mission control. The text is too small for almost anyone in the room to read. Same goes with the control panels in the mars surface vehicle. You may say that SpaceX's Dragon 2 control panel[1] is pretty similar except those screens are at least twice as big and the astronaut is seated extremely close to them. I'm sure the details of the screens are nice and accurate (they seem to have taken quite a bit of pride in that) but they felt like they were trying to make them so technical looking to impress the audience that they became unusable for the astronauts themselves. The ridiculous, alignment animating photos from Pathfinder annoyed me greatly too but just because it looked so silly and unnecessary (and I'm normally a fan of animations to add a little extra information to a scene). That all said, I liked the film. It's not the book but it's about as good of adaptation as I could have hoped for. 1. http://i.imgur.com/jwhxhkU.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jwhxhkU.jpg
