Why would anyone open a door marked “Biohazard - do not open”. Some movies are just plain ridiculous.

Why? Because it's in the script. See? On page 13; right there..."Expendable guy #1 opens door marked 'Biohazard' "... If you want a really bad Sci-Fi movie,
Lost Skeleton of Cadavra 2.jpg this one will fill the bill. It's intentionally bad; they took every thing that makes a bad movie bad; mixed it all together, and this is the result. And the sequel (The Lost Skeleton Returns Again) is at least as bad...

Battlefield Earth... worst movie ever made from an outstanding book. Granted, it would have taken more than one movie to do a good job of telling the story. Dune was another one. The director tried to do it justice in one film. By the time the studio took it from him (David Lynch) and gutted it, it was a mess. Industrial Light and Magic was originally supposed to do the special effects but bailed when they got a better offer from a guy named Lucas.

Dune was a bit of a let-down after the books, but at least it had a bassist in a starring role :)
