really? seeing that made me think TIME doesn't know what they're talking about. I thought this movie was pretty good...and even though imdb ratings aren't everything, there's no way a film with a 7.5 rating and a 66% on RT is the worst of the year.

Ladies and gentlemen, if we've lost a poster named Zombihorndog,then I'm afraid we've lost it all.
shareAgreed. Pretentious is the right word for it, and I agree with other posters who said manipulative brainwashing. I lost interest after 10 minutes, specifically when the slave being whipped and was unconscious woke up just long enough to eyeball the more delicate white son-in-law, who promptly faints. Message to filmmakers: passing out from whipping is basically shock. You don't wake up.
Of course, the more egregious garbage was instantaneous homosexuality, so that if one was in a theater, another 2 hours to go!
Which brings me to the next point, since this movie is supposed to stir social consciousness, which is that social consciousness is about hegemony - who's going to be in charge. When a person as myself complains about something like homosexuality in what is supposed to be mainstream film, my complaint is part of a fabric among this nation, this civilization, and the world at large. Therefore, it is the epitome of pretentiousness that anyone should be shocked at my disappointment with that brainwashing. If you don't like the criticism, too bad!
Was it the worst movie of 2012? I think Prometheus gives it a run for its money, if we're comparing stories, but at least Prometheus was so stupid at points I could let go and have fun.
I knew there was a reason I resisted seeing this movie. I had a feeling it was going to be like that.
Earth? I've never heard of it.
Sounds to me like Time didn't dig very deep.

Whoever reviewed this movie at time obviously didn't get this movie. I thought it was really good but I can understand why a lot of people don't get it. Fortunately I got it.
It's worth a second and possibly third viewing because it is easy to miss somethings.
I rated it a 9 and my favorite story line was the one about Cavendish and his friends as the retirement home. His remark about Soylent Green was priceless.

This proves that a media source or critic doesn't always know what they are talking about.
Whoever let that get published is an imbecile. This is a majestic film, this is art. Good art moves people, teaches them, and makes them questioning. This film polarized critics.... That's a sign of an important piece of work.
(And I will say, critics who didn't "get" this film are just too simple minded. It takes a few viewings at least, but the first time I saw it I followed it smoothly enough. I actually don't understand why so many are having a problem of making sense of it?)

Arrogant??? Why the name calling lol. What I shared is an opinion, and what you shared is your opinion. Calm down dude.
shareAnd nice job using only part of my quote... Get a life and use this board to discuss things in a civil way instead of being argumentative.

Again, you're the on assuming, that I'm not calm. :)
Also, for a piece of mere "entertainment<" you take it quite seriously, don't you?

I understand it was intricate, but it is all explained within the film actually. I'm thinking about working on a post here or IDK Wikia to better explain in detail the aspects of the film, as opposed to the book, since the film obviously made many alterations/additions and so far I've found very little information about it online other than general synopses of the six stories.
Also, I wasn't calling audiences stupid I was calling critics stupid for supposedly being the ones who are "experts" in film analysis and are the ones publicly denouncing the film.
Audiences don't have to like it, Idc about that but a critic is supposed to be objective and know what they are talking about.

"Tard" and appendages hanging out, seem to be recurring themes in that head of yours... how old are you?
15 at the most! If you knew anything(at all) or understood the world, you'd see how everything I said, has a point.
It's been too long since I watched Cloud Atlas to remember all the elements of it that serve the wachowski she-he.
Yea, Tho I Walk Thru The Valley Of The Shadow Of Political Correctness...🇺🇸
who cares what TIME thinks? Their idea of a masterpiece is Zoolander 2 or some such treacle
