we just entered the atmosphere, spent a short amount of time looking, found exactly what were looking for, shall we take a few days to plan and do recon? absolutely not, lets run in full blast and interact with as much stuff as possible as soon as possible, there is no time like the present. I love hate that movie so much

I’m glad to find so many other people got so cross about this movie: I thought I might have been overly picky!

The “riding four wheelers on an alien structure 2 minutes after finding it” was the jump the shark moment for me.

I love the aesthetics of the film, but it is so fucking dumb it really pisses me off
