You guys are in the minority, which I sometimes find myself but not this time. On IMDB so far 38,000 reviewers have given it an average rating of 8.7, I don't remember ever seeing a movie higher than the low 8's before. I would have to agree with the majority, I thought it was terrific. Maybe you didn't see it in 3D, that certainly enhanced the film. I felt at times like you were enveloped within the scene. The visuals really made the film and without 3D it would be lacking somewhat, but I did find it pretty intense at times. I'm not a big sci-fi fan, never seen any Star Trek movies and only a couple of Star Wars, and didn't care for 2001 Space Odyssey all that much. So I'm somwhat amazed that a few have come away with such a negative view of the film. I also really enjoy 'Prisoners' and 'Blue Jasmine', in fact these were the last three films I've seen and I have never rated three films that high before.
