Fail

Rating: 2/10 (3 June 2012)

I hated this film for a few reasons. First, it pretends to be "science fiction" when it isn't. It's a dumb horror movie. To qualify for science fiction it has to show a bit more intellectual clout than flat stereotypes that characters flip into. Second, and perhaps connected, is the stereotypes of scientists being the silliest caricatures of human beings, unless they "believe because they choose to believe" which somehow makes them human.
Ridley Scott's sends to space a crew of unvetted, nervous people, some of whom you wouldn't let pour your drink, let alone entrust them with a "trillion dollar" space mission. Incidentally, these are the "scientists" as he imagines them. His explorers take off their helmets in alien atmosphere just on the proportion of CO2 vs O2. They stroll into places without precautions and get lost randomly.
Ridiculous to it's core, this film wasn't worth the money or my time. Hope this helps a few souls spare themselves.
