Out of the Blue

[Oct 09, 2012, 10:11 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Time, as they say, marches on, so I shouldn't be so surprised that today marks another year since the launch of this domain, as it was on this day in 1996 that this site moved to bluesnews.com. That's right, 16 years, which I think is probably like 100 in internet years. Thanks to all of you for your support all this time.

In fact, that really sums up the movie for me. Stupid characters. How that many stupid people managed to be selected for a $1 trillion project is mind boggling. Right from the moment the first idiot took off his helmet because the air was breathable, completely overlooking the possibility of pathogens/toxins/etc, I couldn't really understand how they could be so stupid. Meh, it's making me annoyed again just thinking of it!

Agreed completely, characterization was wildly inconsistent. It was bizarre how some characters actions would directly contradict their supposed expertise. They even went against what little character development was established, sometimes only a scene or two apart. I was really happy when the Honest Trailer called them out on the geologist with mapping tools, GPS and his little robots somehow getting lost.

Anyways damned shame, this might be one of Ridley Scott's last movies and that movie could have been a classic with a better script, all of the other pieces were there. A good story told poorly.
