One of the worst sci-fi films I have seen in a long time. This movie is completely lacking, and the acting is actually rather poor. This movie falls in line with other Hollywood cheese-fests like The Rock and ID4. Several attempts to create suspenseful moments are completely lost, and the characters' reactions to various things are just pathetic. I don't know who wrote the script, but it is gag-worthy. And the story is really bad too. So why is this single Martian just chillin' on Mars waiting for mankind to show up? Why does it feel the need to show our 3 astronauts how life on earth was created? It almost seems like this was the central idea for the film, but the writers just could not construct a valid story around it...

Anyone who gives this film a good rating obviously has no idea what good sci-fi is....either that or they just like to be spoon-fed cheesy Hollywood rubbish.

While the movie is produced well, and stars two of my favorite actors, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead was an utterly boring display of nonsense. Maybe I am just a "stupid-American", but the whole Shakespeare thing does not, and has not translated into modern film entertainment for me, ever. This film, is just a pseudo-intellectual's wet dream. Be cautious of those who said they liked this movie, because most likely they are just a pretentious, coffee house, art geek who wants to think they are better and smarter than everyone else. All that being said, the enormous talents that are Gary Oldman and Tim Roth could not even make this film remotely watchable. Oh, by the way, Richard Dreyfuss is HORRIBLY annoying....and he just keeps coming back....over and over again.
