19 - The Cloud Atlas (Jan 19)

Sad to say I wasn't watching this film with very good attention. A far as what I see its a film with different characters and stories. The same actors play different roles in the different stories and on different times. It is not like the usual movie that they all end up interrelated or find each other in the end. Maybe that's the premise but given the time setting of the different stories and the characters being played by the same actors popping in and out of the different stories they all somehow to be existing in different parallels or dimensions.

Production wise its very interesting and the stories need patience to grasp as each story doesn't develop that much. The flaw is it transfers from one sub-plot to the next without giving you a clue where this will be heading. It all looks confusing and tends to distract you easily.

This is made by three directors, two of which are the makers of the Matrix. the ensemble cast is amazing. It is based on an impossible book. Must take a second peek at it, for another three hours or so.
