I know what you mean. This being a sci-fi, it's especially disappointing when they don't advance the idea/subject, at the very least to fill the time. No need to be repetitious.

I've seen films go inferior directions, after advancing the initial idea very well, but it's often a matter of taste, like Flat Liners. But at least it's advancing a story.
