This film was more like a science project than a story on the screen; the characters were so flat that when things happen to them, despite the overly dramatic music, the viewer could really care less. And when when the ending finally arrives, I can't imagine why anyone would cheer. It was just so "blah".

First, the film opens with some superficial dialogue aimed at building character for both Clooney and Bullock. As the story progresses, the "blah" dialog continues, and really adds nothing to the story or the characters because it's so forced. Later in the movie, the director makes an attempt at bringing the initial dialog full circle to create a bond between the characters, but it again, feels so forced that it makes you want to simply hit that fast-forward button to get to the predictable ending.
