I guess in the year 2093, they don't have any pre-flight protocol

Rating: 2/10 (19 May 2013)

Apparently, a corporation that was willing to spend a trillion dollars on an expedition to find other "life" in the universe, didn't bother to spend any money on the viability of a crew for such a mission. It becomes immediately apparent that one of the crew members, the "geologist" (who, by the way NEVER gets any rock samples), exhibits extremely anti-social behavior. It boggles the imagination that this extreme character flaw was not detected in any pre-flight examination. Also, the "biologist", whose job, just by his title, should be excited that they actually find a life form (even if it is dead), absolutely freaks out at the first sight of said life form. The two of them react so unbelievably ridiculous and start crying that they want to go back to the ship. They also have what is supposed to be a "meteorologist" on board who apparently cannot see that an extreme weather situation is approaching. Even a local TV weatherman has better skills than this guy. The absurdity continues when they "bag" this dead head in what appears to be a zip-lock bag. Even more ridiculous is how they "examine" this head when they get back to the ship. There are so many examples of the stupidity of this crew, that IMDb doesn't give me enough space to point them all out (the "surgery" that is performed and her super-human ability to run, jump, etc. afterwards...the guy who just opens the door after the Captain says something appears outside of it, etc.etc.etc. Are there no quarantine procedures in place on this ship other than a flamethrower? I could go on and on and on. The only interesting part of this movie was when they wake up the huge, really pale guy from his hypersleep chamber. It doesn't take this guy but a few seconds to figure out what I have pointed out above, as he immediately starts killing them off. I guess I expected a better movie considering that Ridley Scott was the director.
