While both my husband and I tried, together and separately, to see it there, we missed it and had to wait for the DVD. I wonder if I would have enjoyed it more in the theater. I didn't mind the over the top ending, because I felt it meshed with the rest of the film, which was more about spectacle than realism.

I had the opportunity to see it in the theater, which made it all the more enjoyable. The sound, the visuals, the storyline - PERFECT. However, the ending was a bit over the top. When the main character (her name escapes me now . . .) came back to life (blizzard scene) - I was kind of feeling like - Die already! Ya know? No? BTW - I found your site at the MN Blogs directory - City Pages I absolutely love this movie. I had the opportunity to see it in the theater, which made it all the more enjoyable.
