For the first hour it was really nice, looked beautiful and for the first time I had the feeling that the IMAX 3D worked. It gave great depth and stilness. Really appreciate the director's reconciliation with the simple plot, not overelaborating it and sticking to the 90 minute-format that should be enough for every character's emotional turmoil. However from the moment Bullock is alone, time is running out for the story-line and even the clever trick with The Kowalski-vision does not stop the inevitable decline into unbelievability. The ending is silly (pretty sure there's a director's cut in the offing) and the musical score towards the ending unforgivably loud and predictable.
In the end a pleasurable watch and one and a half thumbs up.
