The Waste of a Good Budget

This is another one of the genre of "dumb scientist" movies. These movies thrive on breaking protocols of safety and scientific practice, logic and just basic good sense. I think one of the first was the original The Thing where a "scientist", in order to keep the offspring of a murderous creature alive, drains his -- and other"scientists" blood to keep them alive.
This movie is one of those. Bumbling, emotion-driven stupid people make repeated bad decisions and pay a heavy price for it. All avoidable. Lets just say that Ridley Scott rebooted this genre with Prometheus and let it go at that.
Except that there's probably enough budget here to make a half-dozen thinking, worthwhile indie films, and that's the real shame.
