Cloud Atlas really is one of the most spectacular examples of filmcraft I have experienced in quite some time . . . and for me, that's saying a lot and then some.
I wouldn't even attempt to briefly describe for those who have yet to see this.
This piece not for everyone, although it is very entertaining . . . this really is a "thinking person's film".
A fantastically risky concept to attempt packing into a film, and yet, have it not only actually work, but be executed so brilliantly.
This one stands out, so uniquely.
There were no weak spots anywhere in this production. Halle Berri, Tom Hanks, and everyone else delivered some of the best roles / multiple characters of their careers.
For those folks just looking for typical flashy comic book sci-fi fluff films, don't even bother . . . there will be no comprehension of what is being presented.
But for those who can and will connect the dots in this fantastically crafted production, this really will leave a permanent imprint on one's psyche.
