Wasn't great but not terrible either

Rating: 5/10 (30 January 2014)

I think the movie had good intentions in that it would tell 6 individual stories that were interconnected in some fashion. The problem is the move is 3 hours long and it wasn't enough time to explain everything. I don't understand how the stories are connected other than through a comet looking birthmark on many of the main characters. I could guess ways they are connecting in that anytime you have 6 stories, you can imagine some sort of connection, but I'm not sure what connection the film makers were trying to show. Are they trying to convey that some people are good and some people are bad throughout history? Maybe. Who knows? Each story was full of holes that needed filling. For example, the last story chronologically took place in Hawaii sometime after an apocalypse of some sort. What was the apocalypse? Nuclear war? a powerful strain of flu? Why is Tom Hanks living like an aborigine while Halle Berry has futuristic technology? It reminds me of Star Trek where they have to use the prime directive around primitive cultures from other planets, but in this case everyone is from earth.
Why was there someone who looked like a green chimney sweep from the 1800s popping up and taking to Tom Hanks? The only story I liked was the one with the Korean replicant. But, somehow she became a deity without any explanation. Did she have anything to do with the apocalypse? All in all, the movie was full of holes, but it wasn't as bad as many have posted. I at least cared how the movie would end and watched to the end even though I felt the movie didn't end with a proper explanation.
