I saw it and thought it was another Kubrick masterpiece. I was amazed at how great Cruise and Kidman were. I usually don't care for either of them, but they developed their characters so well in this film. Several scenes were chilling. Scenes that would normally seem erotic, were terrifying. One person I went with, however, fell asleep. And after the movie I heard two women in the restroom saying what a "dud" it was. They said they expected the pace to pick up after the first hour (it's 2hrs 40min). It's pacing was only slightly faster than 2001. I recommend seeing this film. ~Valerie
