Absolute Twaddle. Nothing more than mutton.

Rating: 4/10 (11 May 2013)

Cloud Atlas... I can honestly say do not waste your time.
There is no hidden gem of a movie here, no groundbreaking plot, no hidden meaning interwoven within the wafer thin fabrics of the film. It is nothing more than pseudo-intellectual waffle that overdoes the exposition on the 'we are all intertwined' concept, littered like donkey droppings throughout the film.
Also littered throughout the film are other populist themes that are sure to appease the liberalist pseudos that love to espouse the deep profanity of films like this. Themes such as, white people are the worst kind of people, homosexuals are intellectual bastions, we're all slaves to the giant machine, and that woman can have a voice Really... this film couldn't pander to the 'downtrodden' any more if it tried.
Themes are also something, our society is tackling as we've evolved as a species, and although not perfect... we're tackling them... however apparently that won't get us off the hook for another millennium.
What's good about the film? Special effects are breathtaking, I give it 4 points. The rest of the film? Nothing. Absolute twaddle.
