I agree with many comments here that the movie has a really weak and stupid plot, really artificial. It feels like watching Final Destinations in Space. Only that the Final Destinations series had more characters and more interesting and grabbing plots. I thought that the Oscar's was a serious award for professionals. Well, the fact that this movie is nominated demonstrated its lack of credibility. I have to wonder what's behind the scenes in Oscar nomination. Could be a lot of money/favor driven deals.

I don't blame the movie. Every year thousands of stupid movies are produced. I blame the Oscar's. While maybe I took them too seriously.

Sandra Bullock's acting was good. However, there is a limit what you can do in a shallow plot. Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine had the most impressive performance in 2013. In fact, it's one of the most memorable performance in years.
