RE: Cloud Atlas - My Thoughts on the Book vs the Film

in #review7 years ago

I usually like books better than the movies, I have not read cloud atlas so I cannot say, One movie I liked a 1000x better than the book was Practical Magic they created a more tight knit family it was so much better and more magical :)

I usually prefer the book, which is why I made two attempts at this one, but just couldn't get into it. I watched the film and knew it was a great story, but in this rare case, the book left me seriously underwhelmed. The story is complex, and the did translate that to film quite well. However my main issue is the writing style. Glad the film captured it well though.
