A mix of stories

Rating: 7/10 (5 September 2017)

Six stories in different eras are told, presenting different lives of reincarnated people who tried to do something different or relived the same mistakes over and over again. They tend to follow a similar path, like two people falling in love after struggling and fighting together, but they are told in such way that I found it simply too hard to remember each one from each story and what the respective was trying to do. They are interesting by themselves but the way they were presented in the long length of the movie is a drawback from my point of view.
A two part movie would have been more understandable and more entertaining, rather than mixing them up in an almost randomly fashion, hoping for audience to understand what they were trying to transmit. Their respective worlds, each of them with its own crisis, some of them post-apocalyptic, caught my attention, together with their spectacular visual effects, but the action, sometimes thrilling, was too hard to follow and link to its previous part. The connections between the stories are not there for everyone to see. You really have to focus and try to find them (if they exist), again, something not everyone is willing to do, especially on a three hour film.
I say it one more time, it would have been almost a spectacular movie if they had found some other way of presenting each event, exposing their connections and message for everyone to see.
