The science part doesn't bother me so much, as any film can only use what's fairly well-established as scientific fact at the time it was made. And much of that changes over time—increasingly so today, too.
For me, the human stories are what's wrong with this film. I just don't think they work well at all. Nolan's stated intention to match & even surpass 2001 by infusing a powerful emotional human element in this film only drags it down, I fear. The blandness of the astronauts in 2001 is part of the film's theme & belongs there. The human element in this film strikes me as melodrama, which is not at all suited to it.
