I am also a Physics major. I enjoyed the movie a lot. The only thing that really bothered me was the planetary science and the seeming incompetence of the crew's scientists. Also, I found it quite odd how the humans on Earth can created entire ecosystems in space, but they can't find a way to cure the "blight" that is affecting Earth's agriculture (which seemed like some kind of disease that can mutate to affect different crops.) It seems to me as if it would've been so much easier to just genetically modify the plants to become blight-resistant, by studying the disease and why some crops had a period of immunity, rather than build a seemingly impossible spacecraft to travel to a system in which the planets orbit a black-hole or find out a new theory of gravity that allows for artificial space habitats to be efficiently and cheaply constructed.
