Do not watch this movie

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2013)

I watched Cloud Atlas with high ambitions... 7,9 out of 10 from almost 70,000 viewers seemed to be a very good start. "Directed by Tykwer and Machowski and with starring names like Tom Hanks, Hally Berry and Hugh Grand it has to be a masterpiece", I thought to myself. (I must note here that I haven't read the book.) I couldn't be more wrong.. It goes on for three hours of uncontrollable blither, without actually having anything to say.. I was firmly disappointed by the stories, the plot and even, the act which was overall abstruse. The ideas the director was trying to pass were timeworn and unoriginal. During the unbearably continuous movie, I was trying to find even one good thing in it. I found nothing. I cannot see the reason why so many people claim it to be a masterpiece and a classic. In my opinion, this movie has been an absolute loss of my time.
