Two things you wrote, and the movie has, that are made of awesome:
The bit about making buff shirtless wolfboys.
"Yeah they found a planet with compatible biochem and... OMG they went there without invalidating all of paleontology"

For-real hard SF is soooo rare in movies, and to have it include my favorite branch of science (biology) is making this fangirl weak.

Clearly nerdhusband and I must watch Jupiter Ascending on DVD.
