Cloud Atlas is six mini movies in one. This, surprisingly, doesn't make it too confusing or messy. Rather, my problem with the movie is that it, well, stinks. Some things just never seem to be explained at all (what the heck was up with that green devil guy!?). The vast majority of the characters are totally unrelatable. Some of their accents were difficult to understand. A lot of the makeup jobs were just downright silly, often to the point of being distracting. The sex scenes were totally unnecessary. And, worst of all, there was no point. I was expecting this epic spiritual adventure, but it just never came. The characters were connected by little more than being played by the same actors and sharing birthmarks. Not impressed.
