I figured at that point they really didn't care. The stupid thing that bothered me was how unprofessional and scientific they were throughout the whole thing.
They didn't once seem like people that knew what they were doing or were really smart enough to do any research. They were like college kids on a camping trip. The minute something happened the women started blubbering like teenage girls and the guys acted like upset teenage boys. They made noise when they should've been quiet, and throughout they kept assuming nothing was going to happen to them even thought they were there because something horrific happened to other people.
The move might have had more intensity and been better if they cast older actors who seemed plausible enough to lead a research team from today, in real research teams like that, the youngest would usually be in their 30's. Young actors aren't interesting enough to hold a movie like this together. There's nothing wrong with casting older or more experienced actors that look like they're in their 20's.
Another stupid thing, the shaky camera. This movie would've been better if they just used traditional camera work and lighting to allow the audience to see what was going on.

I so agree! Those kids would never had gotten a grant - I think they did? - or an "educational OK," anyway, for the trip. To investigate - what? They had no theory whatsoever.
