What really perplexes me is how many people liked this movie. That it is nominated for Best Movie of the year... well, I am stunned, and have lost respect for the people who nominate movies for these awards.

The entire movie is a puerile string of calamities and relies entirely on Sandra Bullock's superb acting skills. The story? There isn't one really. It is a glitzy 3D orgy with a great actress and lame script... nothing more. How do I know the script is so empty, well, watch the movie in 2D and you will get the message pretty quickly. There is no story, it's like a long, boring computer game where one mishap after another besets you, and you have to do your best to survive.

The moments when Sandra B realises she will probably die and she begins hallucinating, are smattered with trite philosophical drivel... absolutely not credible, and seemed to pander to low-brow masses.

I did not see any of the 3D effects, which were probably fantastic. A movie HAS to be a lot more than the quality of the effects it throws at you to cover the lack of depth, plot, anything at all that challenges or reveals something. There was none of that worth watching or hearing. Sadly, this was a disappointing waste of $100m with some fantastic acting on a mediocre script.
