really? i loved it. it's been a while since i watched it but here are some of the things i liked (spoilers ahead)

spoiler

  • every single actor
  • the soundtrack
  • i thought the CGI flora and fauna were quite well done
  • the overall body horror
  • the found footage scene
  • the pool corpse
  • the zombie bear that screams HELP ME
  • the way each member of the squad melts down in a different but logically consistent way
  • i even liked the ending dance routine in the way it establishes that the alien is not inherently hostile

i overall just appreciate that the film had some ambition to try to do something weird and I think for the most part it was successful. and, not to nitpick your nitpick but i think they establish that everyone on the expedition had military experience
