Unfilmable Novel lives up to it's warning.

Rating: 2/10 (9 January 2013)

Right, now I consider myself to be a little more worldly in being able to enjoy the concept and conception of new ideas and stories in the realms of novels and their adaptation to the big screen.
Saying that - Cloud Atlas which stars Tom Hanks has to be by far and unprecedentedly the biggest load of absolute drivel I've ever laid my eyes on. My senses feel utterly offended after painstakingly spending 2 hours and 45 minutes watching the massacre of a film.
The only thing that kept me watching was the benefit of the doubt, which was present on a mammoth scale in the on screen presence of Tom Hanks. The adaptations makes no sense what so ever, the numerous stories its made up of have no such direct correlation until the last 5 minutes where they idiotically string together the reasoning that the universe is connected through a form of "Love"
I would recommend watching reruns of Cast Away then to waste your money. I feel sorry for the studious that did!...
