This was a thoughtless exposition of special effects

Rating: 4/10 (14 June 2012)

SPOILERS: Simplistic plot, underdeveloped relationships and characters, no resolution (certainly no answers) and so many nonsensical elements and holes you could call it Swiss cheese.
Some examples: The "engineer" in the opening scene commits suicide to inject his (now dead?) genetic material in to the ocean (because while they are really smart they haven't figured out a better way to do this than to commit suicide).
The "engineers" have a really advanced ship but had to blow a flute to start it up; The two "we're scared" idiots got lost (while their drones are mapping the interior?) but yet when they encounter a slimy alien worm thing they think it's "cute" and want to play with it; The old guy had to trick them to get them to go on this (2039 trillion dollar?) mission by faking his death (although he was apparently paying them to go anyway); The fact that his hired "team" looked more like a high school class of idiots than some high-paid team of scientists; That the Robot (who isn't human and has no real motivation to do so) feeds the black goo (why? who knows?)of gene altering slime to the suddenly "I'm drunk because the Aliens are all dead scientist". Who turns in to a ragged werewolf, gets fried but nevertheless comes back with super-human strength. That this magic goo is kept in bomb type containers that have screw caps - sometimes they are stacked in piles like weapons and other times they are stood up and surround a giant alien head with no real purpose.
The most absurd thing (of course) was then they bring back an "engineer" from his state of suspension and communicate with him (in his alien (assumed?) language - how they got that I have no idea, although clearly if you are a robot that knows 10000000 languages you automatically are fluent in the native tongue of the "engineers") this intelligent "engineer" doesn't have a single thing to say - instead this intelligent advanced being (who created us) turns in to a WWF beast and starts ripping heads off.
I could go on (really) but you get the point.
Was it me or where there only three colors in this entire film - black, gray and blue?
