I don't think they do hate it, any more than they hate "A Beautiful Mind" which is a pale shadow of Nash's real life, or "The Man Who Knew Infinity" about Srinivasa Ramanujan, or Breneditch Cumbersome's interpretation of Turing in "the Imitation Game" or any other mathematician in film. "Hidden Figures" was a wreck. So what!
They think "yea, thats not very real" and then in a Gell-Mann Amnesia moment pass over the other aspects of film which are utter bullshit, but filmicly necessary like camera pans through walls, 32 year old people playing high school kids, you-name-it.
"that artifact should be in a museum" my arse. Archeologists would be lamenting the lack of contextual work mapping the scene before you disarm the rotating knives, the implicit cultural burdens mis-understood, the grim reality of funding to get a crystal-scull hunting project up in the first place.
