Cloud Atlas, my review.
12 years ago
Saw Cloud Atlas. Film2Home had a 1kr deal on renting it online, so that was a great deal for getting a movie we have really wanted to see, and was so looking forward to.
As it is, I am glad it costed 1kr. This way, I am not left with the feeling of having wasted too much money.
The movie leaves me with enough impression of the story to feel that the book may be a really good book. A movie, however, need to stand on it's on feet, and the "oh, you would have loved the movie if you had read the book" phrase just annoys me.
The movie is very segmented, and I get a feeling that this is done for the sole purpose of making the movie appear deeper and more complex than it really is. And I feel they fail miserably at doing so. Hollywood more or less proves, again, that they are not capable of making a movie of this type.
The attempt makes me think of the rather unknown movie MrNobody. The only difference being that MrNobody succeed where Cloud Atlas failed. Throwing in a lot of "semi-religious meaning-of-life philosophy" does not save the movie, or give it enough dept to make it a movie worth watching.
This could have been a great movie, but again Hollywood, you did not deliver.
