Awful score, awful story, awful waste

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2012)

I have just seen "Cloud Atlas" and it is a painful piece of crap to see. Sorry for the ones who think it is art, but it is really boring and confusing. Most of all it is a huge waste of money. Some talented director would have made 6 movies with this money, but the Watchowsky Brothers decided to make one movie with 6 stories, just to demonstrate that even if we die, love is a link between all our life. Brilliant but 3 hours to explain that, having sliced the stories in 30 seconds to 2 minutes slices jumping in time and going all over the place even in space?!?! Impossible to relate to any characters, hard to follow any stories, no suspense.
Worse, the music is awful, no epic theme, just a slow boring piano and string loop for 3 hours. I can remember 2 different themes no more in such a long movie. Where are the good composers who were doing music on screen? It is sounding like a long trailer and Audiomachine would have made a better job for the score.
There are maybe 2 action scenes hahaha... so awful, it is slow like "Out of Africa" without the picture, the light, the power and the music. I can love complex movies, but here, with modern computers, slicing movies all over the place is not something that deserves an Oscar, it can be done with an After Fx script! So if you want to loose 3 hours of your life go and see it. You have been warned, even in DVD: avoid.
