Overrated and Pretentious Mess

Rating: 3/10 (15 February 2013)

"Cloud Atlas" is one of the most overrated and pretentious movies that I have ever seen. With the available budget, the producers should have chosen a great screenplay but it seems that they prefer to invest in marketing instead
Great cast, make-up and special effects are the best this flick can offer. Unfortunately the story is confused and the awful screenplay is a complete mess, maybe based on an acid trip. But many viewers write telling that they like it (there are reviews telling that this mess is a masterpiece – I am not sure whether they are ironic) and the money certainly returned to the pocket of the producers. Last but not the least, I loved the review that says "It's like Dune if it was directed by George Lucas not David Lynch". My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "A Viagem" ("The Trip")
