Cloud Atlas isn't getting as good of reviews as I had hoped, but I'll still probably enjoy it. Silent Hill looks potentially enjoyable in a cheesy sort of way.

I'm interested in both. The review for Cloud Atlas make me think it might be better in a home format due to it's scope and format.

Even with the admittedly disappointing reviews for Cloud Atlas, (Yeah I had pretty high hopes for it), I still expect it to be better than Silent Hill.

I'd rather see Cloud Atlas, the Silent Hill movie looks weird and it's in 3D which is a turn-off.

It could still be rather enjoyable. A lot of the complaints were based on it's format (montage like, over a vast period of time, with multiple subplots).

Silent Hill seems better suited for the theatre. Cloud Atlas seems better suited for home rental.

At least the people who made Cloud Atlas look like they were trying to make a good movie.

If I'm being completely honest, neither of them look any good. I'm going to see Silent Hill: Revelation though because I'm a sucker for the series and if I'm going to enjoy it in any way, it'll be for the visuals.

Can't you just do both?

See one now,and rent the other one on DVD/BD when it's out.(or watch online)

Simple.

GreekGameManiac

just my assumption.

he has the money to see one movie(movies nowadays are expensive. its like 9 bucks here to watch a movie, i dont even get a drink or anything)

and he is conflicted on which one he wants to see.

thus, this topic.

and him doing both would mean he gets to watch both movies in the theatres. so no, he cant "just do both".

Watch Silent Hill if you like, but be sure to read Cloud Atlas - it's an amazing book.

Something tells me Silent Hill is going to suck. I don't know why because I loved the first, but I don't know the trailer makes me think that this is a movie that I should just pretend never happened.

Just because he is not a metalhead or in a fighting movie doesn't make him a one dimensional character.

I will agree that Tom Hanks doesn't really diversify enough. That's not to say that he only plays essentially the same character, but he DOES usually seem to "play it safe". I think that's a legitimate complaint worth addressing, but I don't think that makes him a "bad actor". He's pretty consistently good in the roles he does take, and a good performance is a good performance.
