I found the last twenty minutes of MTRX2 troubling, and MTRX3 laughable. Meanwhile, CLATL as a film was an independent take. . .

... on a brilliant, sublime novel, and to my view did an okay job of adapting the novel.  So for me there is a very clear hierarchy:

At the top, by far: "Cloud Atlas," the novel

Then... "The Matrix"

Then... the first 1 hr. 30 min of MTRX2

Then... "Cloud Atlas," the film

Then... a big gap

Then... the last 30 minutes of MTRX2

Then... an extraordinarily big gap

Then... MTRX3.

V: Warner Bros. has delayed [JUPTR] from July 18 to Feb. 6, 2015. {nm} Antibody Jun 03, 17:40

They should spend the time to at least darken CTATU hair. {nm} Antibody Jun 03, 17:41

Personally since Day 1 of the trailer I've thought this film looked terrible. They must not have much faith. {nm} lobogotti Jun 03, 17:48

And just like that, it went from possible Matrix-like potential to Cloud Atlas at best, wow... {nm} Oleg Max Jun 03, 17:51

I would put id differently: it went from "Matrix" potential to "Matrix sequels" potential. second gary Jun 03, 19:14

Darn opinionated Freudian autocompletion program. {nm} second gary Jun 03, 19:15

post of the day IMHO! {nm} PVL Admin Jun 03, 21:53

Atlas was a top 10 film for me in 2012 {nm} lobogotti Jun 03, 19:22

Hmm, I don't know guys, it took me like 3 days to finish it. While Matrix 2 and Matrix 3 were obviously not as good as Matrix 1, Oleg Max Jun 03, 19:29

I loved Matrix, but the last two weren't that great for me. Most people I know didn't like Atlas. lobogotti Jun 03, 20:03

The Sequelsfund is on board with your IM :-) {nm} SequelsFund Jun 04, 05:22

APES2 has some nice room to run now, not that Jupiter worried them too much. {nm} lobogotti Jun 03, 17:51

Mood Indigo too! {nm} Moviesnob Jun 03, 17:58

put The Final Member out for rent! I'm not a fan of buying digital films and last I looked I had to buy. {nm} lobogotti Jun 03, 19:00

cue last minute imax 3D release for apes {nm} notfabio Jun 03, 20:38

Kinda a d!ck move for WB to put it against SPKAP, the film Legendary took to Universal. {nm} Antibody Jun 03, 17:58

Wonder where they will move Run all Night to.... {nm} Oleg Max Jun 03, 18:01

sounds like a good business decision. CSBD Jun 04, 05:53

JUPTR could benefit from reshoots {nm} budice Jun 03, 18:01
