no common sense

Rating: 2/10 (2 April 2018)

As I like science fiction, adventure and exploration, I really thought I would like this movie. But man, is this movie bad, so full of logical canyons.
1. Problem faced in the movie: The area we need to check is full of magnetism, possibly radiation and all the highly trained teams that were previously sent into that place never got back.
Solution: Should the next team use protective clothing? Or maybe we should send robots/drones to check the area? No, let's send four unprotected women with only one of them having any specialist combat training whatsoever. Reminds me of the new women-only Ghostbusters.
2. And why do giant crocs prefer backpacks to human flesh?
3. Why be surprised that one of the women can shoot a croc at close range? Haven't they all been trained to use guns? I mean they are carrying them all the time, surely they got some training?
4. And when, at night, you are supposed to sit guard, to look for dangers, why do you light the area where *you* are, as opposed to point the lamp away from you, or simply turn the lamp off to see better in the darkness and to not draw attention?
5. In a world full of strange things and mutations, when you see yet another mutation, it is more logical to dismiss it as an optical illusion?
6. And why, in such an extremely dangerous area, is it better to go alone to search for a missing person... will the chances of survival increase if you're alone?
7. If everything (from light, radio waves to DNA) is refracted in the area, why is only the outer peremiter blurry, no light refraction when you're inside?
8. Camcorder left for months/years still have battery?
9. This refracting phenomenon just disappears by setting fire to one of its parts, except for one human copy?
