The Emperor's New Alien Movie

Ridley Scott is great at atmosphere and striking visuals. But this movie is so stupid it is nearly incoherent. Supposedly smart scientists do moronic things over...and over...and over. Because if they didn't, they wouldn't get to die in spectacularly gross fashion for our entertainment.

I haven't seen Prometheus, but your first quote reminds me of Galaxy Quest:

[Fred opens the door after the shuttle lands]
Guy: "Hey! Don't open that! This is an alien planet! Is there air? You don't know!"
Fred: [sniffs the air outside] "Seems OK."

I have not! Thanks for the tip--I would've likely passed over it otherwise, since I'm not a Kristen Stewart fan.
