A near masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (3 November 2014)

My friends randomly told me to watch this movie, and I was expecting something decent. What I saw quite nearly blew me away. I'm probably going to view it again. Very few times have I finished a movie, and have still been thinking about it hours later. Cloud atlas is the only other one that comes to mind. I thought cloud atlas was a masterpiece though, while this goes down as simply amazing. My only real gripes are a few minor continuity errors, mainly the fact that people's accents seemed to change for no reason sometimes, and there were a few ways that I think the story could have been told in a slightly more coherent fashion. And furthermore, one of the realities didn't really make sense to me. I'm sure some of my complaints were intentionally put there because I think the viewer is supposed to be lost throughout this whole movie to some degree. Aside from this though, it was perfect. This movie had some amazing directing and was visually stunning to say the least. One thing I can't understand though is why this movie wasn't known to me until a few days ago.
