I am a long time fan of the sci-fi genre. This has to be one of the weakest big budget sci-fi movies out there. I was really looking forward to it but found it utterly disappointing, almost to the point of getting mad while watching it.

I never got the feeling that Mars was a deadly, deserted planet far from Earth. The plot is really weak too imho. How is it possible that the makers of "Moon" were able to make space seem so cold and far from live? Is it the way better soundtrack of Moon? The better cast? The more perceived realism? The only way this movie could have been saved is to let the protoganist die a, much deserved, horrible death - but again, i was disappointed. This from the director of "Alien" - what a let down! I think this movies settles that score that Cameron is the (much) better Sci-Fi director.
