This is true- the premise isn’t scientifically sound in any way. But the movie isn’t really about that. It’s about the journey through space under the stress of this being earths last chance and also kind of eldritch horror. Plus probably my fav roll for Chris Evans. He does a great job being an unlikeable guy who is technically right so you can’t really be against him. I liked it lol.
But the entire premise not making any sense whatsoever, in a sci-fi film, completely takes me out of it and renders me unable to enjoy any of it.
It’s explicitly not a nuke, if that helps.
You seem to have some bad info.
"A team of international astronauts is sent on a dangerous mission to reignite the dying Sun with a nuclear fission bomb in 2057"
You telling me every description of the movie I can find is wrong?
Yes, apparently? The device is literally set off and there’s an entire speech about how the word bomb is a misnomer. But yes, person who hasn’t seen the movie, I’m sure you know better
