Not sure why characters making dumb choices is a big deal. If everyone made the smart decision then nothing interesting would have happened, everyone would've just packed up and left. Boring!

I understand that characters have to make a bad choice in order for #### to hit the fan. In Alien they made the dumb move of opening the door. The reason I found it so distracting in Prometheus is the sheer number of stupid decisions and ones that just don't make any sense.
You look at the geologist and his buddy. They freak out at the sight of the headless engineer. They are so terrified that they have to leave. Forget about how they get lost. They end up trapped inside this structure and decide they'll spend the night in the one place they were afraid to even go near? Come on. That's bull####. There is absolutely no reason for them to want/have to go back to that room. They could have just made their way towards the entrance and waited for the storm to clear.
