Great in only one way...

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2014)

Do yourself a favor, before you watch the crap thats ahead, watch the final 3 MN of the movie, and just stop. Because thats really all you missed if you watched the trailer. The trailer gave so much away, all you didn't see was the "birth" and the final scene, thats it.
Wow, the shear epicness of the special effects will take you away and distract from everything that is wrong with this movie. Just like a typical Aliens film, its gripping intense and on top of that a great soundtrack! I have yet to see special effects even come close to what this bright in 2014. Yes Gravity was amazing, but there wasn't detail like there is in this. The first scene where it opens up to the "creator" drinking that black substance. The shots leading up to that were stunning to say the least. And even though he looked fake, that was kinda the point, it was unearthly, and startling. The sets and costumes were just amazing. The approach into the planet was awesome. I really started getting excited for this movie.
But from then on out it was really just crap. Yes the special effects were still great, that plot was weaker then a wet paper bag. The biggest dumb first thing I saw was them taking off the helmets, just because it was plausible that the air could be breathable.. You can still breathe in CO2, you will think its air, but really its killing you. Any scientist would know that, Its just farcical that he would even try. The only somewhat sane character in this movie was Janek (Idris Alba), and he had his bad parts. This group of ten were worse then the three stooges. Iv seen better plots and casting from Disney Channel.
I could write a 10page article on this, but I won't. Il sum it up as really everything that the characters did made me think of toddlers. Ooo let me touch this, oh this makes sense, there's no need to thing this through, why would we expect that to happen. I don't know if he though we were dumb or not but Ridley Scott dropped the ball on this one. Now plot isn't everything, and that why Im giving it a 6, its special effects and size and scale were awesome, and seeing some questions answered were
