10 Movies Which Insult Your Intelligence

When a group of scientists set out on a journey to discover the origins of mankind, they came face-to-face with a terrifying truth - that they’re all idiots. 

Prometheus, Ridley Scott’s 2012 offering and a loose prequel to his Alien universe, is set on a mysterious planet landed on by the hapless crew of the film’s namesake craft. The likes of Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Charlize Theron, and Michael Fassbender all set out to explore this new location, making dozens of basic mistakes in the process.

Shortly after landing on this new world, the crew all take their helmets off. Even though they knew the air was breathable, this still made them susceptible to disease, sudden changes in environment, and, well, just about everything.

People wander off for no reason, everybody loses track of everybody else, and the guy financing the expedition has no sense of urgency about it, even when things start to go wrong. Basically, Prometheus is one gaping logic hole after another, and viewers were not having it. 

A pretty film? Yes. A pretty stupid film? You’d better believe it.
