J L Beautiful cinematography, nonsensical movie. Several stories which unsuccessfully attempt to intertwine but never make the connection. I see some reviews saying it was a profound and life changing experience.... I'll smoke what you're smoking, please. All star cast with big budget backing, but story was lacking..."true-true" Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Drew B Pros: - It goes all out with big time actors - Interconnected stories - Stunning visuals - Brilliant dialogue - Ambitious Cons: - A few actors playing a dozen parts makes it confusing, when you're already trying to follow like 20 stories across multiple time lines. - Some of the dialogue doesn't feel natural coming the people delivering it. - Too much. This already very long movie needs another hour or a few stories should've been cut out. And idk which. I'm guessing it works much better as a book. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Just N This movie changed my life in every aspect i never even knew of. Cloud Atlas is not just a movie—it is a transcendent experience, a symphony of interconnected lives that spans centuries, continents, and emotional landscapes. To call it merely a film would be to trivialize the masterpiece this art has become. It is a profound meditation on existence, a narrative puzzle whose pieces fit together in ways that defy simple understanding but ultimately illuminate the grand premise of something so fascinating it will leave a hole in your heart once you watch it. The beauty of Cloud Atlas lies in its ambition and audacity. It dares to dream in a way that most films do not, exploring the notion that we are all part of something much larger than ourselves. It reminds us that the smallest acts of kindness, courage, or betrayal can reverberate through the ages, shaping destinies and altering the course of history in ways we may never fully understand. Each plot thread is a reflection of this idea, and as the stories intertwine, the film slowly reveals that every choice we make ripples out into eternity. In every sense, Cloud Atlas was the best thing I ever witnessed on the silver screen. It transcends the medium of film, touching something deeper within the soul. It is a testament to the power of storytelling, a reminder that every moment matters, and that the future is always shaped by the choices of the past. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review None O Well paced and interesting enough, but the different storylines never come together. I felt this was a missed opportunity at trying to be an Epic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Guy B So derivative, combining Magnolia's interwoven multi-plots + Matrix' suspicions of multi-realities + Blade Runner futuristic relationships with cyborgs + the Red Violin for all the above. Like so many soups, hope for nourishment, but often not memorable despite being 90 minutes too long. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Audience Member There are a very small handful of movies that got somewhat panned that I LOVED= this is one of them. Vanilla Sky was another. I think people just didn't get it and weren't of a depth TO get it. It's about life, it's randomness and it's predicated upon the premise that we live more then one of them and that, if we do, we can be very different in how we are while still maintaining a kind of symmetry where it connects somehow no matter how disparate it may appear. I fell in love with this the moment I saw it and even if they didn't make a billion dollars on it- it's cinema like this that reinvigorates my devotion to it. Thank you! and BRAVO... BRAVO.... BRAVO.... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
