This is a MUST SEE film.  It was amazing.  Sandra Bullock was absolutely brilliant.  I laughed, I cried, I was totally engrossed in what she was going through.  I went with my friend Cindy and I actually grabbed onto her arm several times.  (I got scared for Sandra B. okay?)

And there were explosions.  If you read my blog, I love to see things blow up in movies.

This is definitely not a 'light and fluffy' movie.  I was totally involved in what was happening.  The fear, relief, determination, etc... that Dr. Stone was experiencing was engrossing.  I could not imagine being in her position, but she brought us into that situation fabulously.

The special effects were great!  I usually don't talk about effects in my reviews, but this movie warrants a shout out for them.  Everything so... so... real.  Well done movie geniuses.  Well done.

Favorite Line:  Dog... arf arf... wolf wolf
