Hrmmm. I think Cloud Atlas was fucking great. It's ambition, it's scope, it's theme, etc. Just glad that it exists. It's that special of a film.

Boring as hell and their way of storytelling didn't do it for me. It might have been different if the stories had been interesting.

I hope you didn't think I was asking just to tear down your complaints. Although I personally loved the movie, I like to read differing opinions.

I honestly would love to read more people's critical breakdowns for a lot films here. Sometimes we get it and sometimes we don't.
Damnit. Now I'm putting in the BD to this.

I find it to be an extremely flawed film and agree with some of the stuff in these articles :

The soundtrack/score is fantastic as well. I went out of my way to buy it right after seeing it in theaters (saw it twice at theaters too).

Yeah, I need to buy the score.

One of my favorite films of the year. Just thinking about it makes me want to watch it again.

I'm just so aware of Tom Hanks' presence in any movie now that, for me, it detracts from the story.

I actually put this flick in my vudu wishlist because of all the good talk about it on here - just haven't found the time to watch it yet as there were other movies I wanted to catch up on.

The movie feels great. The story is ambitious and the filmmaking is adventurous. There were some misfires, including angry Scottish Hanks the writer (or whatever it was ... it has been awhile).
That's what I took away from it.

So after seeing a lot of gushing over this flick here I decided to give it a spin....like a couple of months ago but just never commented on it.
Little too cartoony and hokey for me (although I did dig Tom Hanks in all of his roles). I got how it pretty much all came together at the end but as a whole I just didn't like it very much.

I thought the movie was ambitious and unique, but definitely suffered from somewhat poor execution for a lot of it.
