Having read the books a couple of times, I walked out of the movie.
They turned the main protagonist (Grace) into Homer Simpsons. He can’t walk without falling over and is brain dead stupid.
They also skipped most of the science (this was to be expected, it’s a movie) but waste so much time with setups for stupid visual gags.
But I’m clearly in the minority so feel free to completely ignore this comment :)

This was my issue. Compared to The Martian there’s little science in the film. More following basic chains of logic.
The main character is deliberately led to point A only to observe object B and has no choice but to then decide to take it home for goal C.
It was entertaining but not really fulfilling.
Someone freshly in zero g is going to be bumbling and incoherent and clumsy. Lol.
