As far as science fiction is concerned I found this movie to be very entertaining. I don't look for rediculous contradictions to reality with SciFi. This is not reality, it's science fiction and should be treated as such.
I enjoyed this movie tremendously and would highly recommend it to fans of the genre. -kd5-

This is a very solid movie. The big question here is why this movie has so many one star reviews. I can see someone giving it 4 stars or even 3 stars if you don't "get" science fiction. If you're under 30, or your IQ is under 100, I can see a few two star reviews also. But one star? No way. There shouldn't be more that a few one star reviews because this movie is just too strong on too many levels.
If you look back at the one star reviews, you will see that many were written back in 2000 and 2001 when Amazon still allowed completely fictitious reviewers to post reviews. Anyone could log on and post 50 reviews of the same movie under 50 different fake names. And that's exactly what has happened here. If you read through the one star reviews you will see similar comments, similar comparisons to other movies, similar language and similar critical points, all of them BS by the way. One of the frequent points they make is to claim this is the worst movie ever made, but it isn't that class of movie at all-it's very well done even if it's not your type of movie.
You will also note that for many of the one star reviewers, this is the only thing they have ever reviewed on Amazon. They have reviewed no other movies at all, despite the fact that many seem to be film buffs and compare this movie to other movies. So where are their other reviews? I suspect that someone who was in some way connected to this movie got annoyed and went on a campaign to trash it.
This is a really good SF movie. I rate it 5 stars but if you're really cranky and don't like SF that much, knock it down to 3 stars. But under no circumstances is this a one star movie.

There is science fiction and then there is science fantasy. This is real science fiction. Its accurate, its obviously for the fan who watched and loved HBO's "From the earth to the moon" and it is realistic.
No shortcuts through the wormhole, warp space or other flights of fantasy. And its the only thing I've liked Tim Robbins in.

Short and to the point: Great movie for the athiest/sci-fi crowd. I absolutely loved the movie. I would give my left testicle to be Gary Sinise in that movie. The one star people are more than likely hard core Christian morons.

The Good Things
*The DVD is of good video/sound quality.
*Includes a number of good special features; featurettes, commentary, production art gallery, DVD-ROM stuff, and the trailer.
*Quite a few excellent special effects.
*Good cameramanship.
*I thought that the story was great. It presented an intriguing mystery (the Cydonian sphinx, which has been actually sighted on Mars' surface) and a clever solution to it.
*Characters are not bad.
*Music was not bad.
The Bad Things
*It is slowly-paced and has no real conflict. It looks like most people find it too boring.
*Not for kids. Even though it is rated PG, it does include one scene at the beginning that has some brief gnarly violence.
The Questionable Things
*Some people may find the film's final answer unbelievable, or perhaps even blasphemous (I thought it was interesting, though). Could also be considered predictable.
*I swear, sometimes, it feels like this movie rips off "2001: A Space Odyssey" so much. Style and production design are very similar.
*I didn't mind the writing or the acting, but lots of other people seem to find them disagreeable.
Despite the slow-pacing, I've always enjoyed this space opera for its neat special effects and its intriguing story. Granted that "2001" is better in many ways, I think this film is more accessable and easier to follow. I think it's great, and would reccomend it to anybody who is interested in space-opera type sci-fi.
