If you haven't seen it yet, you're only going to want to in theatres. It's a trip. A $16 dollar one, as any theatre worth its snuff is going to want to hand you 3D glasses (it's as good as 3D gets, but is still 'meh'... I wish they'd just use the money to just give us bigger IMAX screens and film in IMAX like Christopher Nolan does with his films). Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are only mildly as annoying as you've been told, and the crazy things that happen only mildly as ridiculous, really, the critics have been saying two things: "This movie looks amazing, but is an empty, factless piece of shit. I give 4.5/5." They hate that they love it so much. If you treat it like a metaphor for dealing with loss (which it appears to be), you will love it. Is it factual? Nope. It gets little bits right enough to feel factual, while your common sense tells you repeatedly "theres no way this could happen. there's no way... but who cares?" As a truth metaphor, like a bible story out of Genesis, it hits on all cylinders. You are frail and fragile and you don't feel prepared enough at all... but you can do it. You can make it. There are ways back home, if you're prepared to fight for them.
