The film's whole threat depends on a substance that covers most of the planet. Nothing in the story explains why the aliens did not know or did not care.

Says dumb

A cavalry charge in total darkness into an enemy that does not tire has little tactical sense. Using the Dothraki as a distraction was never explained to them.

Says dumb

They emerge looking fresh, as if they had spent the weekend camping. The film treats the underground as a holding cell and never addresses how people live in one.

Says dumb

The moment is rousing but it does not make sense that so many people would arrive at the same time in a hidden location. It feels like a miracle written for the plot.

Says dumb

Holloway wants to be the first person to see an alien world without a visor. That motive is clear, but it still runs against what an experienced explorer would do, and the film does not address the risk.

Says dumb

An object that large would be tracked for years. The film does not explain why this one slipped through, and a short line about it would have helped.

Says dumb

Panic is plausible, but there is time for at least one of them to notice. It reads as a way to produce a death rather than a mistake any person would make.

Says dumb

The size of the fleet increases the stakes, but a threat that large should have been seeded earlier in the trilogy.

Says dumb

The idea is interesting, but the film delivers it as a speech and then drops it. A little more development would have helped the scene work.

Says dumb

The reveal works, but it undoes an earlier scene that shows the professor's personality as honest. It needed a little more setup.
