Just saw the movie this morning. It was a complete mixed bag.

On the one hand, the movie looks spectacular. The camerawork, the locations, the sets, the designs, everything; it all comes together perfectly. I think the themes and ideas it explored were very strong as well. Humans are so insignificant in the cosmic scale, and we don't see many movies mine that for terror.

At the same time, though, the plot itself has more holes than your average wheel of swiss cheese. Not to mention that these are quite possibly some of the dumbest characters I have ever seen collected in one film. How did these people manage to become scientists and engineers? How did they live past the age of 4?

Red Letter Media had a funny little video about the movie here. Definitely worth a watch.
