Corrected entry: When Lt. Ford and another soldier are trying to evade the entity, but are faced by a closed bulkhead, Dr. Weir tells them to turn around go down the corridor and take the exit to the west. How are they to know which way is easy and west in a building that they have not been in for that long? Isn't turn left or right a lot quicker and easier, especially where instructions are given from a civilian. When someone asks for directions in the street how often do you say take the second turn on the East, or take the second left?

Correction: When you ask someone for directions in the street, they usually aren't in the military, or, as in Weir's case, associated heavily with the military. There's nothing wrong with Weir's directions; it's just your opinion that he shouldn't use east and west and an opinion does not make a mistake. And as for how they're supposed to tell where East and West is - easy, they have a compass, part of standard issue kit.
