Massive plot holes.

Rating: 5/10 (14 December 2014)

This movie has very many flaws and kind of poorly shows what was really going on. What does the black slime exactly do? Creates lives, destroys DNA? It looks like the writers don't even know what was it supposed to do.
How the hell did they find the place so fast? They are on an unknown planet, never been there before, yet they find everything so fast and land incredibly smoothly. They find a huge green gemstone on a platform and nobody even says a word about it? Really? Clearly it was important, since it was on a golden platform. When they land, there is a perfect road in front of them leading right to the huge building, after a brief moment there is a huge storm, so how the hell can a road like that be so clear for 2000 years, if the planet has insane storms all the time, the road would be long gone and not able to see for sure.
It looks like the directors nowadays think that having incredible special effects and good looking landscapes can make up for the bad plot holes, on the contrary, more interesting plot is always better than fancy images.
The way some of the characters acted was way off too, Weylands daughter was this super important person on the ship, yet she didn't do anything, she didn't have any impact whatsoever, all she did was pointlessly yell, a completely irrelevant character in the movie. Also, Fifield snaps easily after one comment, yet when confronted by a snake - like monster coming out from the black slime, it is all cool and no emotions are shown? Yeah, some of the scenes were good and really sparked the interest a little bit for a while, but with an idea like this for a movie, they could have made it way clearer and more interesting than this.
