Ratings and reviews

This movie is based off a book and is technically an independent film that gathered the most amount of money compared to any independent film. It is still visually stunning and captivating. It blends all six stories together in a way that most directors could never even dream of. The movie is a three hour long mental work out as you try and piece everything together and remember all the pieces. Still, I guarantee by the end, if you've been paying ample attention, you will have fallen in love with it.

Reviewers that give it a star are as close minded as a rock, the movie made an attempt to look at past and future events of human experiences. Since we all here at present time do not know exactly what happened in the past and especially what would happened in the future we can only imagine, the close minded have very short attention span that can only be attracted by quick responses and explosions, the Renaissance/enlightenment happened awhile ago and hope something similar is just over the event horizon

Don't waste your money, unless you are really bored and useless. Execution is even worse than the concept itself. Pay it forward regurgitated for the guzillionth frikkin time. The only redemption for this film is that ridiculous kid (and Kevin spacey) isn't anywhere in sight...too bad though, because then I definitely would have saved my three bucks.
