Three hours of nonsense...mass production of....WHAT?

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2013)

Oh boy, I would like to divide my comment into:
The Good. The actors perform quite good their roles, although everything is flipping so fast that I didn't have time to be involved with any them. I really liked the science fiction scenes of the city, avenues of light, customizable small apartments, flying vehicles and that stuff.
The Bad. Well, here we go... The stories are FULL of clichés at the extreme that you know what the actors are going to do and tell, quite predictable. Among them the story of Matrix is once again chewed out...the resistance against the system, Morpheus (with a touch of African-Malasian), Nero (with an Asian-Scandinavian outfit) etc etc. Come on guys!, let go that period of your life move on!, no body wants to hear over and over again the same stuff, with time it gets boring, really.
All the stories contain unnecessary portrays of violence, hate, anger and fear. In my opinion they could had spared some to reduce the final running time without affecting the...he...(scramble) ..plot.
It is suppose all stories are somehow connected... well that was a nice try but at the end I gave up, I got the feeling as if I was changing among channels on a TV. And three hours of that BEWARE!
The worst. Now you are telling me that THIS three hours of nonsense cost the incredible amount of 100 000 000 USD!. With the same funding you could support for 10 years an army of highly specialized scientists (in any top-research institution of your choice) to solved REAL health, environmental and energy problems. This movie itself is an example of how resources are wasted in modern times. And on the first place WHO provided the money?.
I am wondering where all that money went, and after reading the comments at IMDb I just got the idea that perhaps, just as a strategy to enhance marketing, a group of people got a little cash stimulus to write GREAT comments to support this charade. Who knows, concerning profit everything is allowed (the movie tells us that!).
Final word. As always time will tell what movies will become cult movies. From the Matrix, after 14 years, still I recall its incredible scenes and plot. As for Cloud Atlas in no time it got erased from my mind FOREVER.
