Cloud Atlas book/movie

[Soldier of the One]

Did a search and it rendered nothing, so here goes...

 

Who's read and/or seen "Cloud Atlas"?

 

Liked the movie, preferred the book. Loved the story of Somni 451 best.

 

Thoughts?

I haven't seen it yet. I'm waiting for it to hit the $3 theater.

ETA: Because I'm trying to save money, not because I think the film's only worth $3.

I've just started reading the book. Since I love history and sci fi it seemed like the perfect blending, although some of the Amazon reviews I read indicated it would be hard going and not for everyone. So far I am enjoying it but I am still in the first section on Chatham Island. The movie doesn't screen here in Australia until 28th February so I should have finished reading by then.
