Cloud Atlas (2012)

Atlas an arduous and alluring aim.

Visually breathtaking, however the film was just as confusing as the book was.

*NOT A REVIEW OF CLOUD ATLAS* I saw a brief couple of seconds of a watch commercial and thought "That looks like Cloud Atlas, why not review it?" So this is a fitting place for it. You may watch it here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctj-RDbTBMU / Bit dramatic, but captivating.

Insanely ambitious and highly innovative filmmaking. I'm sure the three hours will go down easier the second time around but for now - really liked, didn't love.

Although 3 or so hours may seem like a long time, it keeps you in your seat the whole time (as in not getting up to grab a glass of milk or falling off from boredom). Could have used a little more interconnectivity to tie in all together. But solid nonetheless. Thats a true-true

Solid movie and even better than the book I think. A bit long but stayed interesting throughout.

Another one for you to go beyond the 'Hollywood' production and average acting and pay attention to the story line which is actually really rather cool! Big fan of Tom Hanks so of course I thought he was great (!!) but all sorts of familiar faces pop on and off screen.

This movie is about people. Six separate stories which are hurled at you seemingly at random, but the threads of tone, pace, and emotion are woven masterfully together. It is thematically rich but never preachy. Phenomenal.

Best movie I've seen in a long time, might be one you have to watch several times before understanding and grasping everything. Great actors, who play many different characters throughout the movie. I loved it! It's a must see.
