The level of ignorance of the world is profound.

Rating: 1/10 (25 March 2018)

I know that one should avoid this sort of rubbish, but optimism does prevail from time to time.
It's curious to see just how unformed the notions in some heads really are. We know that people spend money on expensive enemas, called 'colonic cleansing', because they have no notion at all of what goes on in their digestive system. This film makes it clear that a profound ignorance of almost everything discovered about the natural world in the past couple of centuries is far from rare.
The film can't decide whether it's a guns 'n girls violence-porn film (though it tries for that), or an alien invasion, or a wow-what-clever scientists there are. It fails at all three. When it introduces one as a physicist, with the remark that she's very clever, you know that they've given up all hope of showing, not telling, and, indeed, so it proves. If the physicist, or any of them, is particularly bright, they conceal this magnificently.
They go for mystery amnesia, having the group realise they've been in the place for several days, but not remembered anything - and then, next night, they sleep and wake up with no disturbance at all. The amnesia trope is not returned to, and, clearly, was only there to fill in some minutes.
The actresses, writer, and director don't even know what diffraction is, so it isn't that surprising that genetics is quite beyond them. They've been told about the HOX genes, but, in having them inherited by plants, have no notion whatsoever of embryology, and thus, of its implications. They're must be of the view that we start of as homunculi.
I suppose it's the Dunning-Kruger effect, really, that has writers produce something that reveals such utter ignorance, far too deep for any sort of suspension of disbelief to work.
They didn't know what to do with it, but the bear was a nice prop.
