No. There are no points. Not even a peak. I'm a survivor of this movie, 
and let me tell you, I walked away from it with a little bit less of my 
soul than I had when I watched it. It was truly a soul-sucking 
experience. The movie was breathtakingly boring, with no suspension of 
disbelief at all.

Yet people in the US Congress actually based policy on it. You really 
gotta wonder sometimes.

Surely the crevasse in question wasn't completely smooth? ;-)

(I haven't seen the movie)

Indeed. At least, the trailer was.

You actually have to admire the amount of life and energy they put into 
that damned squirrel!

BTW, for some reason I find foreign language dubbings of movies to be 
really quite amusing. Maybe because of the low quality of the people 
hired to do this work? IDK. The other day I was listening to the Italian 
version of the famous prologue to the War of the Worlds. Very funny!
