A mi sh mash of many movies together

Rating: 2/10 (21 February 2014)

Okay, okay I will admit, that the one and only of reason that I chose to watch this movie, was that Jim Sturgess was in it, and there are not a great many movies out there which he has played in, so 2 out of my 2 points go just to his amazing performance, which as you have guessed, was about the only positive thing in this movie. The fact that Hugh Grant, Tom Hanks were also starring in "Cloud Atlas", made me want to watch it a little, but I guess all good actors have their bad days. Halle Berry, well, I don't know about her performance, maybe one raspberry award wasn't enough for her, don't know how they missed out giving her one here too! (I have to admit here that I personally don't think she really deserved it in "Catwoman") When watching a movie, I like to know when there is a beginning, a middle an ending- with this one, I really didn't know where/when/what on earth was going on, and there was just no ending to the whole thing, it just kept going on and on...for 3 whole hours! I must admit the scenes were very believable, the make-up a little over the top (especially seeing my beloved Jim Sturgess as Asian, it didn't quite convince me!) (but don't get me wrong- his acting did!) Anyway, don't think I'd be able to watch it again, a waste of 3 hours of my precious time!
