Doesnt mean the movie is bad, people are saying its the best theyve seen, but if movie goers aint going to cinema to see it then its a problem. Sucks that people are storming cinemas to see weak scrips like Transformers and not genious movies like this  Its basicly the same as people storming to buy tickets to see Justin Bieber instead of Mozart if he was alive. | ||

Avatar had a bad 1st week too. I think the storm issues on east coast could be a major reason. | ||

Not a SINGLE one of my friends or family even knows that this movie exists. Every single person I have talked to on facebook/inclass/in person has no idea what this movie is or that it exists. They literally did little to no advertising and hype building for this film. I understand the film budget was insane and they prob had to cut down on adveritising... but most people wont pay 20$ to see a movie they never even heard of. | ||

Personally, I hated it. I left feeling uncomfortable. More uncomfortable than I got when watching the second member of the human centipede get a mouth full of shit. It got a 8.3 on IMDB and I wanted to know how, so I checked up on some reviews and the common theme was the emotional attachment and depth to the characters and stories. The individual stories weren't even stories. They didn't take time to get you to know the characters and as a result you could hardly feel for the characters. When you watch Braveheart, you feel for William Wallace in the beginning slaughter scene, and it puts you against the British. You feel for him when they kill his wife, and you hate the British. The movie grabs you emotionally on a deeper level. Cloud atlas doesn't give you enough to connect with the characters and as a result I found myself not giving a single shit about any of them. So you might say that sub stories don't make up a story, but unfortunately for Cloud Atlas the stories only connect in subtle ways that have no impact on the 'main story'. So the movie is literally 6 individual stories that only come together to convey morals such as freedom, love, and personal choice. Each story was vague and superficial to me and I'm trying hard to see some deeper meaning to each story, but nothing comes to the table. The end result just had me bewildered at how you could make a movie so meaningless and mundane. To those of you that enjoyed it. Please tell me why, because for the life of me I can't find anything appealing about it. Did you enjoy it for entertainment value? Did you consider it a thoughtful film that had you emotionally attached? In regards to being a work of art? | ||

I liked the sonmi and sixsmith parts. The rest of the stories unfortunately bored me, which prolly played a part in me not considering it a great and grand work of fiction. | ||

The story with the old publisher in the nursing home had me laughing my ass off with their escape and the story with the music composer and his gay lover had me shed a couple tears and Somni's ending speech was just as saddening. Fucking Hugo Weaving, Agent Smith in The Matrix, still has epic lines to deliver comeplating life and it's meaning. Can't rave about this movie enough and I recommend everyone watch it. | ||

That's something where if you read the book first, you do get a lot more into each story (and in chunks too, the book doesn't cut between them much, each story only has 2 parts max and the post apocalypse hawaii is straight all one part in the center), the movie really is cool as a companion to the book because I have enough built up with all the characters to care. The themes are really grand scale, like connection with others vs. domination of others, the course of history, past->future connections, diversity of living conditions, stuff like that. I'm not sure how it appears to one not having read the book but I guessed right after I saw it that everything might be too shallow depth to make the impact it tries to make. | ||

However, I definitely recommend it. A welcome change from movies like Iron Man X. | ||
