I really liked the movie. I didn't find it to be boring at all and I enjoyed all the suspense.

Saw it last night. Loved it. Can't remember the last time I got so completely engrossed in a movie.

Incredible experience in IMAX 3D...intense, scary as hell. What a nightmare.

I went to see this in 3D at the Studio Movie Grill. One of those have some booze and dinner while you watch the movie type places. Got a Groupon for $5 tix. I highly recommend it. (I am one of those guys who hate the traditional movie experience and would rather watch it at home.)

As far as the movie: I loved it. My wife said meh. Different strokes I guess. The 3D was nice, but probably better if we sat closer or saw it on IMAX. Honestly, I am still not sold on 3D. Questions I do have in regards to space exposure: In Mission to Mars, they claim you become a popsicle in space, Star Trek says your blood boils, Itchie and Scratchie says your head explodes, and in Event Horizon your insides become your outsides.

I'm not debating any physics that happened in the film. I suspended disbelief and loved the experience. But I did see it at the IMAX. I think seeing at a regular theater or waiting for regular TV will take a lot away from the film. The IMAX added quite a bit of realism to the film and you felt you were out there with them tumbling through space.

Overall, though, I agree... there were many things you could nitpick when it came to realism. Still, the movie was a fun ****ing ride, I don't care who you are.

Simply fantastic in 3D.

Saw it last night. Definitely the kind of movie you go to a movie theater to see.

I implore you....if there ever were a movie that you should not "just wait for it to come out on video".....this is the one. See it in 3d and see it in Imax 3d if at all possible. The 3d combined with the large screen and the cavernous emptiness of the large room help modify the enormity of what is occurring on the screen. It is well worth the extra money. There were points during the movie where I found my heart beating rapidly and was breathing heavily. It's a hell of a ride.

Totally 2nd this advice, and would add that I think it's better to sit a little closer to the screen than you typically are used to. I sat about a 1/3 of the way up- essentially trying to cover my peripheral vision.
