the spectrum in user ratings is strange

I'm about to sit and watch this film which I've obtained by a friend because I love Arnofsky and the user reviews seem to be very very good.
What I noticed was a strange pattern in people's reviews . They pretty much were 10s or 1s... I've never checked so many user reviews that had really no ratings in between for the most part. I figure it's one you will either love completely or hate. It doesn't look like there was much in the middle or people that thought it was ok . Either great or horrible lol. It is a trend you don't see much.
I think I will like it as I'm a big fan of arnofskys work and the fact that it is a sci-fi film is appealing to me.
Is it as great as most say or am I right in that I will either love it or hate it ???

THERES NO ROOM IN MY CIRCUS TENT FOR YOU !!!!

I gave it a 10 because it always makes me cry. Even when it's over weeks later I think about the ending and I cry again.
