No review or plot summary will ever be able to capture the sheer scope and scale of this wonderful film. There is nothing else like it and there never will be. It's ambitious, funny, romantic, exciting, moving– everything you want in a film– and it will polarize viewers for years to come – but there is no other film I can think of that simply needs to be seen to be believed. CLOUD ATLAS earns my highest recommendation.
Readers of the book will find the structure very different, but I liked it. Sections from the book are cut together linking themes more than order. Good performances by a great cast
There are many polar reviews (either 1 or 5 stars) but I have found that they all reduce down to the fact that some of the brilliance in this piece is that there are many interpretations. Use the subtitles as there is an example of language evolution that takes a bit of getting used to. Enjoy each story and then consider the thread that binds them instead of considering the failures of interpretation that give up after first attempt (or 15 minutes of viewing). You may spot familiar faces, but that link may (or may not) be there and growth may not be linear.
From acclaimed filmmakers Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer, and Andy Wachowski, the powerful and inspiring epic drama “cloud atlas” explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future.
