So, Andrew O’Hehir from Salon.com made “Cloud Atlas” his “Pick
of the Week”. Now what exactly was he smoking? Yes I love Tom Hanks and Halle
Barry however, this weird alter ego, different dimensions, and completely
randomness is a waste of money. And ironically I didn’t even pay to watch this.
According to Alt Film Guide, "Cloud Atlas" was one of Hanks; worst
opening-weekend box office performances since the beginning of his movie career
in the early 80's. The almost three-hour movie didn't do it for critics, as the
website reported that the movie has a mediocre 40 percent approval rating and
six out of 10 average among Rotten Tomatoes' top critics.
O’Hehir explained he was never bored with the movie. How is
this possible? Everyone I’ve talked to said this movie is a completely snooze.
Why have 8 different stories that aren’t related what so ever? Why does Berry
and Hanks play so many characters? I
have watched this movie 3 times and every time I find myself wondering what is
the purpose of this crap. I can’t stop thinking about all the productive things
that could have been done during the time I allowed myself sit through this
movie. Apparently the storyline tells six separate stories rooted in the past,
present and future. And the thing they all have in common are characters
seeking love and freedom from tyranny. The movie throws them all at you at once, jumping back and forth in time so often that I got dizzy trying to keep up.
