Pro-Idiotheus and horrendous

Rating: 1/10 (23 September 2012)

The first thing can be noticed from watching this commercialised trash (money, money, money these days, eh Scotty) is the strikingly poor execution to an otherwise potentially good plot.
The film revolves around a valid question(s) and a theme, like where humans came from, mortality, if there is a creator (in the philosophical and theological sense), and off course, an added cherry, where THE Aliens came from,and so on. However, the ehm..."movie" was a trillion light years away from rational and minimal expectations. Here we have a multi billionaire (Waylen) funding a team of ill disciplined morons to get his elixir of life and couple of answers from the big bold guy -who for no apparent reason, like some sociopath who dislikes his invited guests, after trillions of miles he wants to kill his own long distant relatives, and every one who gets in his line of sight. No explanation what so ever.
Sorry Waylen, Darwinian at work here, next time pick real scientists and crew, now you're dead- dumb sob.
The behaviour of the characterless entities are so random and idiotic one would wonder how could these "scientists" were picked; on what criterion. Then again, Waylen must, himself, be a total moron (how he got to be so rich?) The whole sequential themes and the way each event follows on to the next is just horrible; it's like watching multiple events happen at an interval times; no connections from A to Z . The behaviour of the "scientists", the robot, the pilot and his buddies, and all therein about this rubbish were so dry and unrealistic that even asking 'why' has no meaning, anyway.
A good example is the Geologist (he looked like a meth edict, mind you), now who would behave in such manner knowing he's going to make history? And the biologist who brags about Darwin, yet, he wants to hug a totally alien, and perhaps even hostile, creature? He probably forgot that rule #1 in Darwinian dogma is: caution, what a moron he was. Plus, these bright "scientists" have forgotten about something called health and safety procedure or bio-hazardous materials; if NASA was to follow Hollywood and Mr Scott's perception of reality and science, well, who knows.
There where so much crass in this "movie" enough to make a volume out of it. The irony is the movie started to get a little bit interesting only at the end, with the heroine starting her own adventure by travelling to the bold guys' home planet- despite the absurdity and lack of explanation for that behaviour.
The only redeeming quality is the sceneries and music, yet contrasting with the "movie" made the whole thing stands out like a deadly alien spores. Avoid.
