Cloud Atlas Still Looks Awesome/Insane, If You Were Wondering
There’s a new trailer for Cloud Atlas out, and… boy. You know, every time I see new footage for this movie I’m just kind of blown away at the scope and what it’s trying to do. I have no idea if it’ll succeed or not, but even if it doesn’t, it should be a fascinating, beautiful failure (with at least two of its six settings to be set int the future, for the record). Anyways, rather than try to parse anything about the movie, I’m just going to step back and let this thing speak for itself. I know, I know. Don’t get used to it. (Via Gamma Squad)
