    Anybody watch it? I saw it last night.

    I hadnt read anything about it or heard anything about it.

    I wasn’t quite prepared for the spectacle that is
    Cloud Atlas.

    I dont even know what to say about it.

    I did not but I remember the promos when it came out. It looked complicated and confusing. I like a movie that requires thought but too many twists and it becomes hard to comprehend. Was it so good that it left you speechless, or so complicated that you can’t form an opinion? I see your thumb is sideways.

    I tried reading the book but it was a mess.

    I hated it. Considering the way the characters in the book move around and watching what they did with the characters in the film with actors portraying different roles I just scratched my head and dismissed it. Never saw the film.

    I don’t mind reading difficult books within reason–but this book went too far for me.

    I also skipped “The Martian”. While the book was okay–it was more a technical manual. I am sure the film took a lot of that out and focused on the action but I just wasn’t up for it.

    Well….i think it’s definitely worth watching.
    Even if you hate it, you’ll appreciate the ambition
    of the story/writing/acting. Each actor plays
    about four or five other parts — sometimes crossing
    genders, eras, cultures, etc.

    There are some good performances, some bad performances
    and some just plain weird performances.

    I enjoyed it. But I got confused a lot.
    But I will probly watch it again.
    I know people that have watched it five
    times just to try to figure it all out.

    The Asian actress was pretty awesome, i thought.
    She plays a revolutionary in the Future. She
    carried the movie, i thought.

    What was that Leo DiCaprio movie that had people in a dream, within a dream? That was hard to follow. Inception?

    I think this was way better than Inception. Just
    my opinion of course.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa!

    “Inception” is one of the ten best films of all time according to PA Ram’s 10 Best Films list.

    That well respected list is of course recognized all over the world as one man’s opinion.
