Up in the Air
Up in the Air is a wonderful commentary on life, life choices and lifestyle. At the center of the film is a company that fires people for corporations. These folks spend the majority of their time on the road, or rather, in the air. The job requires a certain amount of emotional detachment, and their superstar is a master of just that. There is a plot line that I did not expect, that throws an emotional wrench in this man's life path. I'll leave it to the viewer to discover. This is a film that will make you think, will make you laugh, will make you cry. Beautifully shot, well acted, well edited, well done Mr Reitman.

Great review. This is the one movie I really want to see this season. Plan on catching it this coming weekend, and still need to see 'Avatar' on IMAX in 3-D too, Sherlock Holmes at some point, The Road, Crazy Heart . . . too many films. :)
2D~ I liked Up in the Air more than I expected to. On the other hand, I was disapointed with Sherlock Holmes. New Year's weekend I'll see more.
I quite liked UP IN THE AIR, though not quite as much as I thought I would (That said, I think I was expecting near-perfection).
Thinking back, it felt like the final act left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
