Cloud Atlas (2012)
This took some perseverance to get through, but I don’t like leaving a movie half finished. The movie deserves some praise for its ambitions with a long epic narrative spanning multiple narratives across many timelines. It just fell apart for me. Switching between timelines is needed, but I felt like the time spent with each timeline was often too short. The constant context switch threw me off and I lost interest. The greater philosophical ideas it explores might be better suited in the book, where each part is told separately and then resolved backwards. This might have worked better as a miniseries.
