It's funny you mention another braindead movie - Prometheus. I had the same thought when watching this drivel. Do they really think it's entertaining to watch people behaving like morons? I agree. During the opening scene I immediately thought - "he's a clone". Whole movie seemed like a rehash of various old SF tropes. I guess not many reviewers have ever read a proper SF book? And christ, what's with all the stupid behaviour in movies these days? Why can't we have scripts where bad stuff happens to people, in spite of them acting rationally and like the professionals they are supposed to be, instead of having to resort to "ooops I got killed because I was behaving like a retarded 4 year old and wandered around on the ground instead of staying up at our safe lookout post." Well said. Had to keep from yelling at the TV when I saw the movie. Just another brain dead script trying to masquerade as artsy and deep. I thought the same. But it's just one of many stupid decisions / inconsistencies. Like, why hadn't the authorities tried short expeditions first - like 50 yards, then 100 yards etc into the shimmer? What about pulling a cabledrum for a cabled radio/datalink etc etc.
