Lots of great 'fun style' questions.
I'm sure Tin still hates it.
There are some continutiy gaps that just kill it for me, however.
Taking off the helmets...crap.
The biologist 'talking' to the cute cobra alien...he deserved worse than a quick death.
The geologist as dickhead...meh.
The list goes on.
Still loved it.
Follow Ups:
ten minutes, through the corporal dissolution scene.
The characters weren't particularly interesting.
The scenes in the interior of the fortress were very good.
The robot guy was cool.
But the rest was kind of stock.
In other words, I liked the more intellectual parts of the story but the director seemed to feel he had to make it more of an action feature and that lowered it far below "2001" or "Forbidden Planet," for me. I'd also include the remake of "The Thing" with those two, as well.
I have never seen such a list of digital artists and technician in me life. The whole film was a visual knockout. Kudos to Iceland for giving them so much to work with.

Well you say you love it, so it couldn't have killed it for you. It sketches out enough continuity to hang together.
Taking off the helmets...crap.
The atmosphere in the structure was found to be breathable. The helmets became redundant. Besides, it showed the main archeologist to be a thrillseeking jerk, which was kind of the point.

Yeah, see a pattern here? All the scientists were cast as imbeciles, except for Noomi who put her faith before her science. The whole point of the film is to emphasize the importance of faith in human consciousness, as more important than empiricism and in guiding creation.

If the geologist and biologist are meant as representative samples of a trade....no.
I don't think they would ever have survived a real vetting process, do you?
Talk about signal to noise ratio--meaningless scientific work and bad data drowns out meaningful experiments and good research. It's an industry now. Universities churn out PhDs, but there is no real quality control. So we have skyrocketing instances of fraud, retractions, conflicts of interest, etc. Yet scientists remain "the geniuses" of society. So then we have situations where the world celebrates a fraud like Hwang Woo-suk. Or where bogus stem cell therapies vastly outnumber effective stem cell therapies. Or where antisense technology that launched many biotech startups and was supposed to be a no-brainer approach to gene therapy turns out to be a crock of shit.
