I get where you’re coming from, but let’s face it, a movie about the Odyssey is going to be fairly niche no matter who the lead actor is. And one way to make it less niche (and hopefully, more likely for similar movies to be made eventually) is to have a name that most people already recognize.

Is it ideal? No. Am I particularly happy about it? Meh. But given the choices avaliable, I’m happy enough to throw my support behind Kamala Harris Matt Damon

It’s a new and frightening world out there

While I do admit that the latter option is much funnier, it’s probably the former. That or they built all the above-ground rooms perfectly to scale, but didn’t know the exact layout of the service/security tunnels? Idk, but that is definitely an odd choice of wording

This is exactly right. They did the same thing with the iPhone. Launched with minimal features, riddled with bugs, the butt of every joke and cynical opinion, and let the consumers tell them exactly what was wrong with it in excruciating detail. 5 years later, a literal majority of all human beings alive had one in their hands (or similar products from their competitors). Will this specific product be any good? No, probably not. But in 10 years or so, it may very well be the next thing everybody has to have in order to function in society
