Pretentious

Rating: 3/10 (31 October 2012)

Cloud Atlas is long and pretentious.
The bad guy is big oil, is there a more tired Hollywood cliché? Is that clever or original?
The acting and technical parts were good but the story, not so much. The theater where I saw it the sound was also muffled in some parts.
I did not think the attempt to tie human nature through the centuries worked and was fully comprehensible. The attempt to do the movie that explains it all failed.
The acting, makeup, and special affects were very good but the story did not measure up to the rest of the film.
I would not recommend this film, a waste of 3 hours.
