Tries to be smarter than it is

Rating: 6/10 (20 October 2018)

I understand that it's cinema but if you're gonna start throwing science at us at least make it make sense. The visuals were beautiful and the plot mystifying enough to pull you through, but I couldn't take it seriously. I couldn't help but be irked by how they tried to make the characters sound intelligent by using big words. There were several times when it seemed like they tried to make a point but never really fully developed it to where it would make sense. Maybe I just don't "get" it.
Also why not just fly these people in there? Was that not explained?
