Cloudy Atlas

Confusing and Truncated
Watching " Cloud Atlas"  is a real challenge.

There are 6 stories all interspersed within fix periods in time and many of the actors played multiple roles.

Sometimes, one wonders what folly has the producers committed to produce this awesomely difficult movie to comprehend. It is too truncated to make any real sense as some episodes are real cave-man-like, pre-civil rights America  or middle eighteenth century era while neo-Seoul is too futuristic

What is more curious was why such fame names such as Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving etc wanted to lend their time and name to be a part of this kaleidoscope of  disjointed parts that only a man with limitless patience would want or care to sit through.

I do not want to prejudge this movie but seriously, they could have done something better with that money!
