"There's a lot here that doesn't make sense."

Rating: 4/10 (29 May 2017)

Spoiler Alert! The best actor in the show dies in the opening scene. That should be a red flag, but we are giddy with anticipation, so we ignore it. After decades of work to locate the perfect planet for a colony of humans, years of planning for the trip, and more years of space travel in cryogenic sleep, the recently awakened crew decides to take a side trip to a nice looking planet to find the singer of John Denver songs (I kid you not).
On arrival at the new planet which is covered by raging storms of hurricane strength, the crew makes no effort to evaluate the atmosphere, the landscape, or the flora/fauna. Instead, over half the crew and the captain jump into a shuttle ship and take off for the surface. Instead of flying over the previously pinpointed site of the John Denver singer, they decide to land in the water no less than FIVE miles and several thousand climb feet away from the site.
Apparently, the crew has never been trained on the dangers of new life forms, so they just walk about,touch things, and step on all manner of strange flora. They also decide to split up, something they seem to want to do throughout the entire movie. Of course, some of them are infected and get sick. Of course, we must take them back to the ship. Again, this crew has no apparent understanding of the concept of quarantine.
Once the tech realizes that something really nasty is literally coming out of the dude in the med room, she wisely locks the room down. Then, after frantic sobbing and panic on the radio to the rest of the crew which are returning from the five mile 3500 elevation foot climb, she opens it back up again because she found a gun. She slips on blood, which results not only in her death, but due to her inept firearms skill, in the complete destruction of the shuttle ship in a fireball. I mean, how much flammable material were they carrying? This happens right in front of the rest of the crew who were, apparently only moments away during the previous radio call... ?
"There's so much here that doesn't make sense." Actual quote from the movie and captures my feelings less than one hour into the movie... Amazingly, just when death is upon them, we discover that Walter the Android has a John Denver-singing doppelganger named Dave. And coincidentally, he's living right on this planet! Numerous references to Prometheus help us make this tangential connection. Dave takes them to the site of the John Denver singing and it is a gigantic city. How did they NOT see that before now?
The mother ship is trying to fly through the storms. We're not sure why because they eventually launch another shuttle for rescue. Meanwhile the crew continues to separate from each other and die from aliens. Dave teaches Walter to play the flute and expresses his gay android love to Walter. Walter is ambivalent, then oppositional, so Dave kills him and takes his place. They get rescued and taken back to the mother ship
Walter had instant repair abilities, Dave does not, so why doesn't the crew pick up on the fact that Walter (actually Dave in disguise) has major cuts on his face that aren't healing? No one knows. Instead, they all let Dave put them back in cryogenic sleep because, they're tired, I guess. Dave is now in control of the human and the alien race. They are as doomed as the story line of this movie is.
THE END, gratefully.
