Nothing like the ending where you see that monster of a star. Yeesh! It was hard to fathom the size of that thing. It would literally blot out the sky and beyond if we were to see it for ourselves.

They just kept getting bigger and bigger! I wonder how many planets that biggest star would engulf if it was placed in our solar system where the Sun is. DAMN!

Mars is just a little larger than our Moon, so sci-fi movies showing people exploring Mars should portray them getting around much as we would on the Moon. (They never do, and this has often bugged me. Unless, of course, Mars has a much higher density to boost its gravitational field...)

(A break beat with 3 digi loops.) I do agree with Koko. Interesting enough to keep my watching til the end, but not enough to replay.
