I honestly can't think of a single thing they could do to improve this.

This isn't your typical "smart" people doing stupid things. This is a bunch of smart and capable people completely overmatched by something far beyond their understanding.

It's darn near a perfect movie.

Its amazing how not having the typical "here, hold my beer" response seen in a huge amount of movies (not just horror) enhances the movie. Ok, knowing what they know, it is a pretty good set of decisions. I do admit to committing one of the horror movie cliches in real life, but I'm not fond of them in my movies.

I absolutely hate movies populated by the smart-stupid-doers. For a low budget example, "Deep Star Six" is basically a comedy because of it.

"Prometheus", anyone?
