Dull and disconnected.

****Spoiler Alert**** Reminded me of the Blair Witch Project, and by that I mean I was glad they were being killed off for being stupid and was rather hoping the rate of their demise could be increased.
This film is purely eye candy for the viewer that doesn't understand critical thinking, or question anything at all, ever. Sadly many films are now relying on the visual effects over having any real meat in the contents of the film, this however fails as it was suggested the whole point of the film was the meat and the visual effects were the icing on top. But the meat of this is spam.
All the hideous offences to science and scientific process are found in other reviews. Its unbelievable the number of affronts there are, in scifi you suspend disbelief, you allow for some things that are not a part of our current paradigm to exist, as it enables the story to be, or provides for the plot. You don't expect science to be thrown out of the window entirely for the entirety of the film, as if its somehow getting in the way of the authors idea for the story. It's like Lindelof has decided the audience is too stupid to know any different and then Scott has agreed with him.
Is this really the future of scifi, productions that aim for the lowest common denominator of viewer to pack the theaters, like so many other film genres have succumbed to? The film industry is a big machine that needs to keep turning to keep alive, and many films are just rehashed dross aimed at keeping that happening. And this is one of them.
Best viewed as a spoof with a few beers and friends and in full heckle mode.
