I don't mind simple, but cliche got to me. I'm sure you can think of several 
other well-known stories with essentially identical plots. :-)

Agreed. I almost never see a long movie without looking at my watch, but 
I'll admit there have been a handful like that. Indeed, I think that might 
be one of the reasons Transformers2 was so enjoyable while still being 
utterly stupid at the same time. :-)

It's definitely a keeper. I'm hoping they actually filmed the scenes they 
cut[1] and plan to include them in the DVDs.  I also expect this will be one 
of the first 3D movies available on 3D disk players when such are invented.

   I get "focus follows gaze"?
