Cloudy Atlas..no GPS?

Rating: 1/10 (2 September 2019)

What a supreme mess this film is. It has to go through time constantly and change peoples facial/racial characteristics and personalities at the same time. It tries to present some sort of cohesive plot and it never works. (Tom Hanks might think he is a modern day Alec Guinness, yet he is certainly not. Some of his characters are surely for comedy purposes only along with his attempts at accents and compatible wigs.) Moreover, the decision to go with some sort of pigeon English for part of the film was surely a mistake too, as it became laughably inane. as well as irritating.
You have to say it was far too ambitious in it's attempts to go through time and persuade us we are all having a hell of a time in other epochs. Everyone became a Muppet-Puppet of their other selves and had a miserable time of it for three hours.
It is a pity so much time and money was spent on trying to tie an number of wholly different histories together, which if taken individually were unremarkable anyway. (The Book might have succeeded in suspending our imagination in a more complete way)
