Not that this isn't a really cute movie, because it is, a real coming of age crossed with ET sort of premise but [spoiler]I was immediately taken out of the movie by the fact that people are texting and communicating between Mars and Earth and there isn't a 15 minute delay. This is 2019 and everyone even kids today understand how this works. Also this team brought back a child born on Mars and this isn't the biggest news in the world? It took multiple countries to come together to get the ISS going; I sincerely doubt that by 2034 there will be a superpower with enough infrastructure to send people to Mars and keep any secrets from other countries. I mean by then either we'll be working together as a planet or we will have had WW3. So there are some real science foul ups which, like the old cars you pointed out, probably belong somewhere in 90's cinema[/spoiler] but all in a all a solid enough teeny movie in the background while I was washing the dishes.

@toastedzen I think teeny movie describes this very well. More romance than scifi. But like you said, even kids understand the basics of science today. I can understand some crossing corners for the sake off moving the plot along but the foundation needs to be solid.
