Moves that get science REALLY wrong bug me because I think they harm science literacy in general, but then again I do have an axe to grind in that area

Did the movie get the science wrong or did the character? I thought the ending with the same thing starting (clearly overseas) kind of disproved Elliot's misguided theory.
