I see people praising the film, I must have fallen asleep too and dreamed things like:
The man who made the maps getting lost (well, he had a weird hairstyle and screamed like a madman when he entered, it seems that he was not a very serious man, it is clear that they chose him for the most expensive and important mission in history because... who knows)
The biologist who panics and flees two frames later takes off his glove (!!!!!) and tries to touch a clearly threatening snake with his bare hand, it has been a long time since I saw such a satisfying death.
A strange liquid about which nothing is explained but which, depending on the scriptwriter's convenience, kills instantly, turns you into a zombie, turns you into a zombie but with a delay so that you can screw your girlfriend and she has some kind of proto-alien.
Ancient cultures painted the constellation of that planet, how did they know it? Why did they paint it? It's supposed to be a military base for the architects, not their home planet, painting the address to a random military base from their culture makes zero sense.
The movie is full of religious references that lead to nothing, they cross half the galaxy and just arrive on Christmas day, what a convenient convenience that leads the viewer nowhere.
... ... ...
Of course, the scriptwriter is Damon Lindelof, so it's obvious that all the inconsistencies of the script simply lack a coherent answer.
Enjoy it if you can because this movie only manages to piss me off every time I try to watch it.
The biologist's and the geologist's behavior is realistic, though.
Source: I'm a geo-ecologist, I'm working with both.
Biologists in sight of a new species will completely forget all their surroundings and drop into a state of child-like wonder.
The geologist was probably drunk.
