The shyt is a monumental technical achievement and watching it in the cinema for the first time in 3-D was a spectacular experience.

But I don't think it really stands as a great film when removed from that experience.

The dialogue is even worse watching it again. So many corny moments, especially in the second half.

Clunky heavy handed themes and overwrought music that overwhelms the whole film.

It's still good don't get me wrong. Even watching some of these sequences in 2-D is pretty spectacular but it doesn't belong in the same conversation as truly great sci-fi like 2001. Far too limited from a storyline perspective.

It's a fairground ride. Exciting in the initial experience but not much depth and overall a bit pointless.

I don't think the dialogue or the story is terrible so much as it's just bland.

I saw it twice in the theater, in 3D, and I'll probably never see it again. And it was in my Top 5 last year. :yeshrug:

I despise 3D. I consider it a waste of money and a borderline scam......but Gravity, Avatar and Life Of Pi were all MUST-SEE 3D films.

Life Of Pi is the only one of those I'll ever own, but all were fukking incredible in 3D.

I agree... I did see life of pie in 3d:ahh: Stoned out of my mind too... Avatar was the first 3d I ever seen and was cool... I forget what other movies I saw in 3d, but it made me throw 3d to the bushes.

This was the first movie I ever seen in imax and we was late so I was stuck in the front row and that shyt was epic as hell, I felt like I was in outer space and had to turn my head left and right to see everything...

Other than that, it's a trash ass movie and I knew I would never watch it again

Ya know what? Good afternoon flick. Clearly would’ve been much better in the theater, but I appreciate films that highlight the fight, the will to live.
