CGiii Comment

It's like determining what is in Marmite...

If you love it - you'll relish in deciphering every nuance of every taste.

If you hate it - you'll spit it out and wonder why so many ingredients can make your tongue quiver, shrivel and die...

Watching Cloud Atlas is an incomprehensible assault to the senses - it's demented channel surfing with a broken remote...and, it cost a mere $100 million plus.

After a while, it becomes a game - spotting the latest Tom Hanks disguise...other than that, stick to tasting Marmite - it's cheaper and takes less time.

The(ir) Blurb...

Everything is connected: an 1849 diary of an ocean voyage across the Pacific; letters from a composer to his lover; a thriller about a conspiracy at a nuclear power plant; a farce about a publisher in a nursing home; a rebellious clone in futuristic Korea; and the tale of a tribe living in post-apocalyptic Seoul, far in the future.
