Julian R Why do I love it? Because I believe that the concept is true. We are all consequences of past actions and our actions will be the consequences of the future. Soaring soundtrack, gobsmacking visuals, Doona Bae is of course the stand-out actor. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review August M Cloud Atlas is one of my favorite films of all time, despite being a long, slog of a film. While the films cinematography and cast are... questionable at times, the interwoven themes of historical importance of storytelling, the cyclical nature of humanities follies, and understanding why it is important to stand up for what you believe in, are integral and important. The complicated at best, and downright boring at best, nature of this film is balanced just well enough for the pay off at the end of how each separate narrative is connected, make this film one I would still recommend. The usage of it's cast is so well done and honestly humorously ineffective at times that it made me question the use of practical effects in order to make certain characters appear as if they were others. Nonetheless, this films main theme, of standing up for what you believe in, no matter the cost, is executed so well, with each narrative compounding on the importance of the existence of self. The composing director as well, using one song to tie each story to the last in new and interesting ways is honestly brilliant. Not only does each motif lead directly into another, the epiphany that each story has been shadowed by one musical composition the entire time makes the narrative more effective in ways I could not explain. The story, much like onions and ogres, has many layers to be peeled back. Overall, Cloud Atlas is a masterpiece of film and deserves more accolades than in was given, but also struggles deeply with certain choices in theming and casting that hold it back from being truly great. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Travis B I dont Hate the movie as much as i hate people that gave this 5 stars and "loved this movie" but cant tell me why or what they loved about it. 1 star will always go to Halle berry love her Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Gary G A brilliant reimagining of the book. I loved the way each actor was used to play multiple parts. A great way to engage the viewer as each story unfolding to a enjoyable conclusion Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Ryan W Not a bad idea, but doesn't work well in movie form. Too scattered and not enough time to make it work. The scene with the Asian woman being killed like an animal, then "processed" in a factory like animals... that was needlessly graphic and frankly kind of insulting. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review A B I think this is probably my favourite movie of all time. It's fantastic.
