So riddled with poor execution that this does almost as much damage as the AVP hideousness

There is a general rule to making a film of this nature: present us with the primary concept and ask us to believe (or at least suspend disbelief) in return for telling a tight story, accurate in most other ways.
The primary concept: big aliens seeded earth with DNA which was the precursor to life forming. We have a lead on where they came from. Let's go speak to them.
The asinine small mistakes:
1. Major characters apparently haven't met each other before emerging from the deep freeze minutes before landing on the planet. 2. Sending scientific mercenaries on a mission most every other field- leaders would kill to go on for free. 3. Biologists (exo-biologists?) taking helmets off 20 minutes into the mission on a hunch. 4. Archaeologists suddenly becoming pathologists. 5. Mummified heads exploding. 6. Geological mapping specialists getting lost within 20 minutes of being left alone. 7. ad infinitum....
The final stupidity to add insult to injury is the character running from a rolling tube. In a straight line. It's almost tom & jerry-esque. The self surgery comes a close second...
How on earth did all of these idiotic decisions get made on the same movie? Why didn't someone call a spade a spade and fix each and every one of these issues?
Switch off after the first 10 minutes (just before the dream watching sequence) and make the rest up. Your prometheus is now better than mine.
