Special... Weird but special...!

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2016)

This movie is one of these that you need some time after the end to let them sink with you. It's a unique story, or more of a bundle of stories in different eras. I have to admit that during the three hours (15 minute short of 3 hours) of the film, I was constantly struggling to understand it!
The stories themselves were pretty clear on their own but somehow I was not really into the message that the movie was trying to pass. It was really difficult to follow during the movie and to connect the dots. Tom Hanks was brilliant. For me, this movie served as a reminder of his greatness as an actor and his chameleon ability that has made him what he is.
The effects were awesome and it was quite unique to see all these eras blending in one big story. I think that it was too spread out for my taste or in general. It was difficult for the viewer to keep a coherent perception in his mind while watching the film. It left me with a nice feeling, but still it's a bit cloudy even now, some days after watching.
