I gave
this my best shot. I really wanted to
enjoy this film, a multiple time frame adventure that dealt with life, death, love, hate,
and all the other things it was supposed to deal with. “Cloud Atlas” is lifeless and uninteresting. The actors
appear to be lost in the epic experience of making this movie. It looks like they were told a line to say,
and then they said it, and that was it.
The acting is uninvolved. The dialog
is overwritten and obvious. There
is no subtext. The makeup
is distracting. Everything looks and
feels fake. When there is a lull in the
story, a character is brutally murdered. I
haven’t read the novel. I’m sure it was
better than the film.
