Cloud Atlas
In a word: intriguing.
The film tells six inter-related stories spanning centuries (1849 to 2321--106 winters after the fall.) It was well-acted and held my attention, even though I was a bit confused about how the stories were related.
It was intriguing to see a series of actors playing multiple roles (including Tom Hanks, Jim Broadbent, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon Hugo Weaving, Hugh Grant.) Sometimes, they were unrecognizable. But, I did not like the scenes when non-Asian actors were made up to look Asian. In most cases, they looked ridiculous, like Marlon Brando in The Teahouse of the August Moon back in 1956. The bad make-up took me out of the scenes.
Still, it's the kind of film that I'd like to watch a few more times.
