When asked if he would ever go to space, Matt told Mashable, "He wouldn't, but he does have great appreciation and admiration for those who would. "This movie was described to me by the screenwriter as a love letter to science," he told Mashable in an interview. "It's a very optimistic and hopeful movie, and I think it does celebrate the smartest among us."
