Starring: Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones, Liv Tyler, Ruth Negga

Genres: Adventure, Drama, Mystery, Sci-fi, Thriller

Factual error: Motion is physically wrong when he jumps on to the rotating scanner while floating in space above Neptune. Firstly he matches its rotation before he's even grabbed hold of it properly. Centrifugal force would rip him off it unless he's got a really tight grip on it. He even perches on the end of it, moving around in a circle, while not holding on. Violates Newton's 1st Law.
