I have expectations when it comes to hard SF. I especially have expectations when the author talks in interviews about how much they want to promote science and how much they like science and how much science informs their work. (All of which Weir has said publicly.)
In the 'Mission to Mars' example I gave, the director said in an interview that he was keeping it to known science and even had astrophysicists advising him. So, again, I had expectations.
