    I agree with you, I'm pointing out that leeroy's logic doesn't make sense.

    Seriously? Forgetting that the answer you gave is like THE cop out for when shit doesn't make sense, he latter can't understand why his wife still has faith in Christianity after finding the engineer.

    You're either scared shitless or you aren't. If anything it's more logical for him to be scared shitless at the snake looking thing that's you know...alive.

    I'm willing to concede this point, but this wasn't a mission to make money...it was a mission for their leader to try and save his life.

    When was the limited communication established? They never seemed to have any problem talking to them except maybe during the storm?

    It matters because it doesn't make any sense for the person to come to that conclusion based on his knowledge. Even if you take into account the audience's knowledge it was a leap in judgement. At that time, I thought it was possible that the black goo created life, and when it comes into contact with existing life, bad side effects happened. Until the engineer went ape shit I assumed the character was just being paranoid, but apparently that was the point we were supposed to know what the black goo was. When characters draw conclusions based on nothing and just happen to be right it's shit story telling that makes the audience confused.

    So the guys in charge who were probably pretty scared at this point decided they didn't want to bring the guys with guns with them?

    If the engineers did not want that planet to be found they wouldn't have given them a way to find the planet. Therefore they wanted that planet to be found, which there is no valid reason that I can make up.

    I'll let you have this point, logically that makes sense, but it is pretty stupid.

    Humans were not the only end result. They were one of thousands if not millions of species.

    Didn't seem to have a problem up until then.

    She figured it out when she said Hollaway was infected out there and David simply said something like "That's not what happened." She had a moment of realization at that point, she gave him a look.

    Not gonna lie, those trailers are some of the best fucking trailers I've ever seen ever ever ever. Whenever I see commercials I stop what I'm doing and watch that shit because it's fucking awesome, ugh.

    The movie's biggest problem is that one of the main protagonists is a (maybe) nihilistic robot who (maybe) has no emotions, (maybe) no ethics and (maybe) no motives. Lot of "maybes" in that last sentence? That's because the movie doesn't answer any of them. Everything in this movie is a big mystery, except it's not the fun kind of mystery you like to solve, it's the shitty kind where your girlfriend stops talking to you and she says "nothing" when you ask her what's wrong. It makes me so fucking mad I want to puncture my ball sack with a pen. And unlike real life, you can't just dump her and bang her hotter friend, because her friend is Madagascar 3: fat and ugly.

    The problem with making David a protagonist is that he's utterly unrelatable. Even as an antagonist he's utterly unrelatable because we don't know what his motives are, or even if he has any. It's like trying to make a toaster your lead character in a movie. Is the toaster good? Is it bad? What are its motives? Nothing, because it's a fucking toaster. It has one job to do: make toast. David's character is slightly less compelling than a toaster because we don't even know what his purpose is. At least a toaster was created for a reason. David was created to frustrate people who wanted to see a good movie.
