See it. It's excellent. The acting is great, it's well-written and compelling, and the quality of the special effects and cinematography are almost beyond words. They simply couldn't have made this movie 10 years ago; the technological wizardry on display here is astounding. Also, I hate 3D movies as a general rule - they shrink the scale and dim the brightness of everything on screen, they're overpriced, blah blah old-school snobbery blah blah - but this one actually benefits from 3D, particularly on an IMAX screen. You're just sucked right in. I'm only now convinced of the value of 3D from a filmmaking standpoint.
Side note: Sandra Bullock is rounding the corner on 50 yet somehow has the body of a 20 year-old. Discuss.
