I seem to be in the minority here. Other than the special effects (particularly in 3-D), I thought this movie was just another movie about someone stranded (in space, on an island, on a mountain, whatever). If this wins a bunch of Oscars, I will be disappointed.
You might be disappointed.

And I for one like to hear from a "minority," as I think too many people like a film just because everybody else likes it, and they are expected to like it too.
