Had no expectations, still was annoyed. Don't get me wrong, still a good horror movie. Not really sci-fi. But this is the SAME thing as Prometheus; a bunch of seemingly untrained people behaving rashly in a completely unknown and alien planet not caring about what kind of fauna and eco system they might find. It is extraordinary how people whith such responsibilities (they care for thousands of sleeping colonists) can behave so stupidly. I am no writer - yet this is so obviously bad and irritating. Back to story - bad things happen, lots of them die. At the end, the survivors, along with an android fly away to the unknown. You see that ending from miles away too. Like I said, this is Prometheus all over again. From the story POV and the characters' writing.
Blomkamp should have made that Alien movie, as it was originally planned. Scott has proven enough that he doesn't have it anymore. Give it to ambitious people with fresh views. I recommend fans of sci-fi/horror to check Oats Studio, the small indie studio Blomkamp created. The short movies they make show they could make cool stuff, if they were given the means and opportunity.
