It was also a complete waste of Idris Elba, which is a terrible sin in and of itself.

For any faults the movie did have, I am seriously hoping Scott gets around to the sequel that picks up when she escaped on the ship.
I'm still genuinely interested in him exploring the whole
Architect plot line.
It's still absolutely visually stunning, and the concept is strong- it just needed to be tightened up on some the of the loose ends, and some of those gaps could have been purposely left to explore in future films.
I think they'd do better cutting ties with the guys involved with
Lost , Damon and Co.
