Indeed the home fab, was fab. The judicious use of knob to turn on otherwise soft and gestural interfaces...everywhere. The home automation having a sense of humor. The use of robotics helping us out, semi-automously like pets even when we don't explicitly tell them what to do (e.g. giving the heart when he was reaching for it). The acquisition time, as the suits sensors tried to scan the world.
Of course the most unrealistic thing are just the physics behind the suit/world. like it protecting him when he crashed from 10K up, look at an aircraft show accident...even titanium shreds. Heat dissapation from whatever power sources being used for thrust. I don't think it was a titanium o-ring, it was cobalt. But yeah, cool.
