Poorly written, confusing movie

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2012)

What a terrible movie! This could have been well executed, based on the original novel's premise, but the movie was written and directed poorly. I felt like I went on a 3-hour confusing ride. There are 6 stories in this movie, some of which don't apparently intertwine, and they are presented in a non-linear order. This made the stories very hard to keep track of. Also, there did not appear to be any type of overarching theme to connect any of the stories. I kept on expecting the stories to connect and make sense as a whole, but they never did. I felt very frustrated watching this movie, and I would not recommend this movie to anyone. I do have to give it 2 stars for the wonderful makeup effects.
