[Closed] CLOUD ATLAS - anyone seen it yet?

I want too, but it's not on anywhere. Book is excellent

Yeah I saw it but it's tricky to follow and gets kind of dull

It's on at the [url= http://www.dca.org.uk/whats-on/films/cloud-atlas.html ]DCA[/url] organic355 .

Going the morra

Need to go and see it as it's written by a local (Malvern) man.

Bonkers.. I liked it.

^^^^ this

Absolutely bonkers. Loved it. Yes it has it flaws and I could see how some would hate it but WOW! It is so different from any other film and well done to the Wachowskis for taken a big $100m gamble on this one. If only all movies coming out
of Hollywood were this different

Oooh, that reminds me.

<plays M83 Extended Outro>

Off to see it at DCA this evening. Enjoyed the book and interested to see how it will translate to screen...

I've been given a high quality copy of it, but not found time to watch it yet. The Russian sub-titles aren't too distracting, apparently... 😉

it's a mess, a bad mess at that.

saw it months ago, its pretty crazy, like watching "last of the summer wine" one minute and "star wars" the next,

the extended trailer is as good as it gets, plus you get M83 Outro to listen to,

it's a mess, a bad mess at that.

Yeah but I think a mess... Like a muddy bike ride can be a lotta fun

25 mins in

Like a muddy bike ride can be a lotta fun

yeah but it wasn't fun though.

Got it today, it's a long un tho, 3 n a bit hours.?

I thought it was awful, too long, the plots don't line up our cross at all.it annoyed me.

I quite liked it - remarkably true to the book, which is a pretty impressive feat in itself.

A little scrappy and the fact that the various plots didn't really tie together frustrated me a bit, as with the book, but generally good fun and it managed to pull off all the different genres quite convincingly.

Cannibal Hugh Grant and lady Hugo Weaving was dead weird.

It was really really bad. Was still considering turning it off half way through. It was really my sort of film as well, turns out cutting between about 6 stories with pretty much nothing to do with each other made a film with no depth.
The idea was decent enough, too many holes.
Would not recommend.

Good film but not a patch on the book. Concentrating too much on actors and characters moving through the times rather than the objects that linked stories eg letters, music, screenplay and religion.

Just watched the trailer - it looks very ambitious

Halle Berry alone is worth the price of the cinema 🙂

Just seen it's on at the Cubby Broccoli in Bradford. Excellent, may pop down later

Cloud Atlas. It´s Marmite, the movie.
I had mine on toast and loved it.

Great film, reminded me why I enjoyed the book so much. 8/10

really enjoyed it, not sure how well it works as a standalone film, without having read the book.first.

Yup,it's a bit of a big ask ,to expect random film goers to tune in to all the connections .
Been re-thinking some of the bits during today ,tempted to skim/read the book again.

Not having watched the book or the film, which do you think would be best to try first?

I would read Ghostwritten first then Cloud Atlas

cheers.

I enjoyed the book... I'm not inclined to see the film.

Very enjoyable, I thought.

Just seen it. Really enjoyed it. I can imagine if you've not read the book it could be a tad baffling.

Sixsmith sextet works well.
