Not recommended for anyone with half a brain (or even a whole one)

Rating: 1/10 (12 June 2013)

I am so thankful that we rented this movie for only $1.00! Cloud Atlas was a tiresome waste of personal time used viewing this disjointed mess of borrowed ideas and shallow character development. I can barely believe that so many otherwise well-respected actors and actresses would agree to act in this movie. The masses going to their untimely demise invoked the same theme as "Logan's Run". The room filled with the bodies reminded one of "Prometheus". The bodies being "recycled" brought back "Soylent Green". Did the screen writer have any original ideas?? The scenes showing cannibalism were disgusting and unnecessary. The gratuitous sex scenes were also unnecessary to the overall story line, if there actually was a story line.The film jumped from one era to another and one character to another so frequently that one just lost interest in the whole hodgepodge of BS after a while. I would not recommend this movie to my worst enemy. A total waste in my opinion.
