The movie starts with a series of events that seem to span the past and future in history. There is a slight relationship. As the movie progresses, the relationship becomes more obvious in the stories that become soundbites.
This may be a fun experiment in storytelling, and the book may be exceptional. However, I have not read the book and do not have time for this g-o-b-b-l-e-d-y-g-o-o-k. If you persist in watching it, it becomes easier, but never as clear as each story could have been by itself, so all this trickery is a waste of time. Looking closely, you will see that they borrowed from many other movies, including Soylent Green.
One positive item is the ending credits, where we see the cameos of the actors next to their names instead of an endless scroll of names, some of which we might know and some we might not know.
In the end, the film is full of positive clichés such as “Love can outlive death,” whatever that is supposed to mean. However, I think you will find this film to be very stale, flat, and unprofitable.
