The Fuel Problem in Prometheus

The fuel problem in Prometheus features two characters fleeing a rolling horseshoe-shaped ship by running in a straight line directly in its path instead of stepping aside, a moment of catastrophic spatial reasoning that epitomizes lazy thriller writing. This error is 50% more egregious than Bruce Wayne's return to Gotham in The Dark Knight Rises, as that character had at least a vague plan, whereas this is a pure survival instinct failure that could have been avoided with a single sidestep.
