Pat's Fantasy Hotlist: Cloud Atlas Trailer

Really not sure about this one.

Visually, it looks stunning. But nothing in the trailer makes me want to see this movie. . . :/

It didn't help that 2 of the 6 stories were printed in a terrible font that was difficult to read, and phonic spellings on spoken language in the last story was irritating since they spoke some futuristic hillbilly dialect.

I'm hoping this might be a movie that is one of the rare occurrences of a film bettering the novel. Still with the exception of two of the middle stories, this is a pretty moribund tale and I think it'll make for a pretty boring film.; 1:11 PM
