1. Yes, Matt Damon is probably the perfect person to watch play an astronaut-botanist who has to, quote, science the shit out of it to survive on Mars.
2. Neat cast and nearly all at that 'definitely famous but one step below super famous' level including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jeff Daniels, Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Sean Bean, Kristen Wiig and Donald Glover.
3. Candidate for funniest scene: when all the NASA geeks immediately get the Elrond reference except Wiig's media director. Bonus: Sean Bean aka Boromir is one of them.
4. Light, involving, uplifting. Well done Ridley Scott, not least for the versatility.
