I really liked this film, and thought it was pretty interesting. I know it's science fluff and a lot of BS from a sociology standpoint, but I liked the movie.
And then I watched it again.
*Spoiler, I guess*
One glaring error in the limited logic of the movie was that he really did have a heart condition. (The treadmill scene where his taped heartbeat runs out, he has a very ireegular heartbeat at that point) So then what is the author trying to say? That if you fail a necessary physical it should be OK to cheat if you're a good person? He defeats his own purpose. At this point, the man really is a danger to the mission, and really shouldn't be allowed. The film's own logic and rules break down at this point, because he's not an OK person cast down by stereotypes. He has a physical condition, not a random chance for one.
Am I the only one who found this erroneous?
