This movie annihilates logic

Rating: 6/10 (26 June 2018)

So many extremist reviews..... either its the best movie ever made and gets 10 stars (with no explanation other than "this gave me a religious experience!") or its the worst movie ever made and gets 1 star. Cmon, this movie is not a 10 star movie or a 1 star movie. It realistically gets a 5 or 6.
First of all, the plot is devoid of any logic. Hardcore military personnel couldn't find out what is wrong, so they decide to send in 4 girls with little to no military experience in order to see what is going on? Why not just send the 4 girls WITH the military? Then after they collected enough scientific data to at least explain what happened to the other teams, instead of turning back and delivering that data so that future teams can be properly planned, the girls just keep going forward with no rationality. Why? Because these 4 girls needed to succeed in some manner, or at least show that they had gotten further than the previous male teams, so that the essence of female empowerment could be conveyed with this movie. Unfortunately that essence does not make the story any better, and it actually makes the story worse.
Second, there is useless dialogue. When a big scary monster is breathing down your neck and everyone is sitting there still and not saying a word, why does someone need to say aloud "don't make any movements and be quiet"...? And then the monster doesn't attack THAT person? Cmon. Smh.
Third, there are ridiculously unnatural poses in this movie. When you see the flowers/plants that basically engulf the people you will always see them standing in an unnatural walking position, with all of the figures seemingly walking in different directions. This is ridiculous... if you are about to die from being engulfed by a plant, you would not start walking into the middle of nowhere and continue walking until you are engulfed..... you would sit, rest, lay down, relax, you would do SOMETHING other than walk. And all the plants look the same except different colors, yet the people who have been engulfed that are central to the plot... those people look ridiculously CGI-ed out. Budget shortfall?
This, and tons of other illogical things, reduces the greatness of this movie. The CGI is PERFECT, and most likely that is the only reason people give this movie such a high rating. That, and the desire to falsely raise the rating of the movie on IMDB simply because it is all about female empowerment. But eventually the scores will even out and people will see that this movie is no Arrival. It is no Prometheus. It is a non-comical Ghostbusters remake (kinda like the last one that was just released).
