So, if you're gonna see it, see the 2-D version.

We wouldn't recommend it to small children as a lot of characters seem to have a penchant for poking others in the eye with things.

I am more with Bear on this one. I didn't love it - just liked, but it was entertaining.

After talking with several people this weekend about Alive, the responses seem to be divided thusly: people who pay more attention to the fine details of the story; how it does (or doesn't) follow the original story; how well the story and plot line were developed; etc., then those people didn't like it. For those of who enjoy an entertaining movie, can be amused by good visuals and a story that isn't full of ugly holes, we liked it.

This is NOT meant as a slam against those who like the details I mention in the first group; it is simply an observation on two groups of movie goers. I personally don't see that many movies (I don't think I had been in a movie theater for about a year), so maybe my simpler mind is just more easily amused.

Loved her acceptance speech at the Razzies. I like Sandra Bullock - she doesn't take herself too seriously.
