I really have no idea why anyone would agree to finance or be involved in this film. It reminds me of A Dog's Breakfast, except the performances here are much worse. A Dog's Breakfast is a much better example of what this kind of movie can and should be: television actors trying to make a feature film outside of the genres with which they are typically associated. A Dog's Breakfast isn't that great, either, but it apes Tarantino more effectively and also does gruesome black comedy bits better. This movie tries and fails to say Important Stuff about Big Things but, as one character notes halfway through the film, it's all pretty pointless once the bugs murder them all. We don't care about the characters in the first place because of the self-satisfied performances (which nobody did anything to salvage in post or through interesting camera-work; if there's irony in Lt. Tom Paris' dialogue it doesn't come out in the obtuse and flat style of editing employed here).
Plot holes? More like a plot made of holes. When we first see the bugs they're in broad daylight. Later, the protagonists come under the impression that light kills them. It can't be both, but the plot just lets it be both. I really don't get it. This is a confusing movie. If you like The Room, check this out.
