They want "to deliver something which has never been seen again". They've certainly got a good track record on that one: anyone who saw the earlier sequels made sure they never saw them again.

For a long time I was that guy who in a given conversation would actually defend the Matrix sequels.

Then I watched them again, and realized that they were awful. I saw Revolutions while on painkillers for a busted wrist- I think that had something to do with my enjoyment of it at the time.

Two more sequels could be potentially, maybe non-terrible. Cloud Atlas, though? Hell yes.

Saw a bit of the first one on TV at Holman's the other day. I forgot how good it really was. And perhaps it should have been left at that. I am meh on any more.

The Matrix sequels are still a lot better than the Star Wars prequels.

If there was one thing I enjoyed about Cloud Atlas, it was the all the innovative gunfights.

"Not I," said the White Rabbit.

How THE FUCK are they gonna make Cloud Atlas into a movie?! Don't get me wrong, it's one of my favorite contemporary novels, but shit. A consistent narrative it ain't...
