I can't deny the technical brilliance of the film and the effects keep me from being bored much of the time but where was the script? We never got to know anything about the two characters except that Bullock lost a daughter and Clooney's wife left him when he was on a mission. I couldn't have cared less about these two people. I saw the film in 3D IMAX. I can't imagine seeing it in 2D.
