That's the sequence that uses footage from The Island isn't it? Because of the accident during filming that meant they couldn't shoot all that was needed.

Apparently so, but I don't hold that against it. I think it's the finest visual effects sequence in the entire trilogy.

It lost out to Hugo on all three Oscars.

Oh well! Hugo did good work on the categories it won for anyway.

There's a good chance at the Razzies, though: eight nominations! Two of them in the same category! Oddly, while up for Worst Film, it's missed out on Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel. www.denofgeek.com/movies/1261219/full_list_of_2012_razzies_nominations_adam_sandler_gets_record_number.html
