Cloud Atlas - Movie Review

Cloud Atlas starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Sturgess and Hugo Weaving is reviewed reviewed by Ben Mankiewicz (host of Turner Classic Movies), Matt Atchity (Editor-in-chief Rottentomatoes.com), Alonso Duralde (TheWrap.com and Linoleum Knife podcast) and Christy Lemire (AP critic).

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. Each member of the ensemble appears in multiple roles as the stories move through time. -- (C) Warner Bros.

I just finished it for the first time and I'm about to give it a second spin.

I hope Christy has seen it again since this review, because holy fuck is she wrong.

This is not just about the simple fact that your actions influence the future positively or negatively, it's so much deeper and more meaningful.

She's entitled to her opinion, but I have to say this is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

1:58 - 2:11 who had the urge to slap a bitch?

Never read the book so I was completely lost even when I knew Hanks and Berry were playing several roles. Had to read the IMDB message boards to glean some understanding, so the investment of 2+hours wasn't a complete waste of time. Still, wish I'd have waited for the HBO version.

Whatever the case, it was great to look at and fun to spot who was playing who

One of the most ridiculous. A comic book type of movie masquerading as art house cinema.

Wow, I think if any one should shut up it's you!

[OLuckyMan1973]

Who had the urge to rape your mom after making a comment like that?

[OLuckyMan1973]

A cookie for you asshole! Now shut the fuck up and throw your shit opinion somewhere else. I've seen the movie, and its okay but makes no sense: great visuals, uneven execution. So fuck you!

[Fuckkrem]

What's wrong with the subtitles? The words are german, but they make no sense whatsoever. It's just a sequence of random words.
