I thought this film was great! I mean I was on the edge of my seat throughout because it was very tense. The camera work was incredible and watching the special features I saw that they implemented new technologies that pushed the film industry forward. They totally invented/constructed new equipment to shoot the shots they did. As much as I loved Pans I really thought this movie should have won best cinematography. I really liked Babel but I thought it was the weakest of the three that he directed. If you look at my thoughts in a previous post I was almost bored throughout. That was not the case with this film.
