Very bad science fiction

Rating: 2/10 (8 June 2012)

Not worth seeing, characters are shallow; the many questions are not answered. The script is very poor, badly constructed, really beyond the pale. You do not understand what kind of scientists the main characters are. They start looking like anthropologist but later on the woman main character is operating and splitting DNA strands.There is one geologist who behaves more like a hooligan. It is just not believable and it is not enough silly to become a comedy. It seems based a lot on Alien but more like a caricature of the movie. I cannot understand how someone spends so much money with the visual effects, which are brilliant, and what looks like, very little on the quality of the script. Charlize Theron is a great actor but her character is totally unnecessary and you wonder what she is doing in this movie. Even considering that the enterprise was private, it is difficult to accept that a scientific expedition would be based on a "hunch".
