Watching it for the first time just I watched Prometheus a week ago and kinda liked it.
And so far I’m liking it but, damn, sending your whole crew down to an UNKNOWN PLANET with not protective equipment? Like wtf, just cuz the atmosphere is breathable doesn’t mean there won’t be, I dunno, SOME WEIRD ALIEN DISEASE??? As well as several other potentially deadly things, like idk psychic plants or aliens that say hello by ripping your genitals off.
Do characters in SciFi stories ever read SciFi? Come on this is like 101 shit bro.
I’m with you on their stupidity and correct me if I am wrong… but weren’t they basically like the vanguard of an interplanetary settlement project?
therefore, basically the scientists without good critical analysis skills and a prediction for tunnel vision that makes them best suited for “getting the job done” and not getting “bogged down” with “risk assessments” and safety/security protocols.
that’s sort of how I remember it, which may be conflated with my own experiences of working alongside similarly smooth brained “scientists”.
Kinda, but they had a planet they had already surveyed and took a detour because a preliminary scan of a closer planet suggested it may be a nicer colony spot. Which okay, but I assume your ship has the ability to do some from orbit research on the surface, and maybe send like a droid down first? There’s a huge ass empty alien city on the surface, I’m 100% even modern satellites could detect that. That alone would suggest there’s something concerning on this planets surface.
Idk just seemed like a foolish move coming from a group that’s been training for space exploration.
Droid expensive, nerds cheap
Lol is “smooth brained” a dig at people with less surface area in their gray matter?
