I am an experienced movie watcher with 50 years of film to go by. I like all genres of movies except maybe, the musical, but that stems from my childhood when I was 5-9 and my parents made me watch movies like pajama game and ruby, at the movie theater. The movie pajama game had a major them song, "Hernandos hideaway" I loved to be moved,touched by the humanity of film, but I must be able to follow what is going on. This brings me to Cloud atlas, what were they thinking, I could only make it through 1/3 of movie before I decided that it was a foolishly conceived, disjointed, bizarre movie made by a variety of buffoons and pretenders to making movie magic, they tried to produce something epic and it was tragically anything but that. I checked off the spoiler alert only to because I didn't want to slant somebody else's attempt at watching this. I dare anybody to say something that qualifies as a spoiler alert because that would mean they understood what they were watching and could explain it. I very rarely write review and I can't write one about this one , except to admit that I tried, and tried to make a go of it and couldn't . With all of the beautiful imagery and film artistry that went into the making of this film, alas, not even that could compel me to trudge , drearily through another minute of this film. Shame shame shame. When Denzel, Russel Crowe, Matt Damon etc are in films, it's an automatic I'm in but that used to apply to Tom Hanks as well, but that's done with
