1 - 3D was used the right way (in my opinion) to show far off distances and heights instead of trying to cheaply throw things in your face. I actually felt dizzy from the heights at some points.

2 - Sandra Bullock essentially had to act our an entire movie - alone. You try pretending to be in nothingness and carry a movie for that amount of time. No fancy subplots or cheap tricks. Just straight up Sandra B. in your face for the entire runtime. If you've ever made a movie, you'd now how hard that can be to pull off.

3 - You probably had higher expectations about the movie than you thought just from the "rave reviews" you saw.

4 - If you didn't like it or don't get it, that's fine. I didn't get Harry Potter, Twilight or Fifty Shades of Gray. We each have different tastes and opinions when it comes to what we enjoy in a movie.
