Pros: Beautifully filmed Good CGI Awesome/very stylish costumes Easily digestible Extremely diverse cast Promotes international diplomacy Funny LOTRs reference with Sean Bean

Cons: One dimensional protagonist No sustained chemistry between the characters (spec. captain and crew) Generic 'lost in space' move - someone is lost somewhere... must go get him Overly masculine Protagonist acts like an overly optimistic bro Protagonist acts and is portrayed more like a US Army soldier than astronaut Overly simplistic Romanticizes space, science, and travel I don't like Matt Damon's face Chiwetel Ejiofor should have played the lead role as the protagonist - his acting is much better than Damon's
