Original story line required

Rating: 7/10 (21 September 2012)

Is there any chance that someone will come up with a high budget original story line, the only thing missing from this film was a black monolith and a large facial sculpture on a distance red planet.
Why does there have to be an alternative story line, some other motivate for exploring a distance star system. I am surprised that Wayland Industries is a leading company in this fictional future, since who would put a team together and send them half over the know universe, sleeping for 2 years and they haven't socially interacted before they left, not even training together and in one case shouldn't have been cast for the role (mad Scottish Mohicans need not apply).
Favourite line in the whole film – "this isn't a warship", does draw the question why not, since you have no idea what is on the planet you are investigating.
So let me get this right, Wayland Industries are recruiting for an expedition to an unknown planet at the edge of known space, you will be required to sleep for 2 years while in transit. Qualifications required, any known science but there is absolutely no requirement to undergo any military or personal security in anyway shape or form. Medical/Dental insurance no required as we have no idea what is on the planet so to be honest we are not expecting you to make it back. If you encounter any alien beings please feel free to try and interact with them, I am sure you can work out their language and they might invite you for tea and biscuits, not destroy your planet. If you should take any robotic humanoid with you ensure that it is loaded with Micro$oft XP as it tends to do its own thing!!! As a film to waste an hour or so, not to bad, it is just eye candy – something to watch. But I wouldn't recommend it to any die-hard sci-fi fans. Story line not to bad, but could have been a lot better.
