Take a bad novel and make a bad movie

Rating: 6/10 (2 November 2012)

If this is what we have to look forward to in various lives, it's a complete downer. Give up now. Apparently, any one can write a take on reincarnation/karma these days.
Some items that really blew it for me: Far too much unneeded violence in this attempt to make a poorly executed point about "being here for each other".
The composer/man whore shoots himself instead of finding his happiness with his love - when there was nothing keeping him from it but his irrational/idiotic self.
The heroine spouts nonsense and that is supposed to cause people to rise up and find their true purpose/meaning/reason for being? In seeing the later generations, it didn't reach an effect.
Poor revision of Soylent Green.
A number of anachronisms throughout.
"Intellectuals" dump on Ayn Rand, but her writings are far superior to this nonsense.
There was no conclusion on whether any effort in any life is useful. That alone makes it a poor narrative.
The old sage character says that Halle's character is the best thing that happened to him, ever. That completely dismisses his former love who bore him a child. Terrible continuity.
Apparently, the goal of all these lives is to end up with a LA-style, beach front bungalow dressed up for a party none of your community/humanity you fought so hard for will be going to.
