So many people have. It just wasn't my cup of tea for some reason.

I heard a lot of people say (as you indicate here) that the physics were way off the mark.

I agree as to the ending. It was a little strange. I mean, if she actually got back to earth what are the odds she'd land somewhere with no one anywhere around, and that way the scene was shot, the place where she landed did look surreal. So...I don't know either!!!
