Good lord that's amazing!
THIS is something I'm going to go to see for sure.
I skimmed Wikipedia re. the novel, there's 6 different stories
and timelines covered (luckily Wikipedia doesn't say much re. plot details).
But in a word: AMBITIOUS.
Based on the weight of the big-name cast, I would expect the script is at least very strong. Definitely want a good night's rest before viewing, though, so it doesn't all blur together in brain fog.
And the visuals seem on the scale of Inception before it came out -- not knowing the context of many of the cool-looking stuff makes it seem even more epic... but if the plot or editing is poor then it'll be yet another "what might have been" big-budget flops.
I hope it gets people talking, after, and thinking, long after. Hopefully "Hollywood" is gonna continue giving something to digest to a maturing audience that is seeking more than just simple popcorn.
