Genuinely the worst film I have EVER seen!

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2013)

3+ hours I will never get back. The plot centres.....in fact no it actually doesn't centre it slap dashingly flits from one zzzz inducing storyline to another.
None of these stories ever develop into much and none of the characters have enough time on screen for the viewer to care what fate befalls them. The story lines seemed almost childish, with plots often being predictable and Tom Hanks & Halle Berry (who struggles with any performance in my opinion )seem to think they are performing on stage rather than on screen. Tom Hanks portrayal of an Irish Gangster had me holding my face in disbelief. No one ever finds out how these plots are remotely connected and after 3+ hours this film ends with some slight reference to karma or past lives.
Much to do about absolutely NOTHING! Literally felt like I just kept repeatedly flicking the TV channel over. Seriously do not waste your time on this. Cloud Atlas is about as deep as a paddling pool!!!
