I've checked spoilers even though I don't think I give anything away.
You've read all the negatives about the production and acting quality. It's all true.
On the positive side, there are several mysteries we encounter through the movie. Unexplained things are happening, not to mention the opening scene. We are given lots of little clues. That's what kept me going. The trouble is that when it is all over, some of it really isn't explained and what is explained doesn't make sense. This is just a very bad movie.
I have complaints about the story that aren't really related to the outcome. The crew is told that video conference privileges will be restricted for a year. Only trouble is, video conferences cannot take place between earth and Mars. The communication delay due to the speed of light makes it impossible. Video messages can be sent. So the issue is mute.
Preflight interviews are shown. Based on what we see, some or all of these people should have been disqualified.
Their technology must be fantastic. They can make the trip in 7 days. They have huge cabins and long corridors. They have full gravity.
The crew doesn't act like they are only a couple days away from landing. Any normal person would be counting down to arrival constantly. These people act like they are on a long journey - months, not days. Of course if they had counted down, it would have given away too much.
