The cast is generally superb: Helen Hunt (Cast Away) is very effective; John Hawkes (whom I don't remember in Lincoln) is phenomenal considering he can only move his head; and William Macy (Seabiscuit) plays a thoughtful long haired priest who helps the characters (and the audience) deal with the issues raised by the film. Moon Bloodgood (Eight Below) gives a solid performance. (The only weak link is Adam Arkin (Hitch) - I don't know if it's how his character is written or how he delivers it.)
A very thought-provoking topic, with a few sub-topics included. The movie flows fairly well but occasionally drags. Be sure you know what it's about before you view it. I highly recommend it.
