A mind-blowing masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2012)

If the fact that I have registered and written my only review just because of this movie doesn't tell you anything about it, let me elaborate.
There is a high possibility you will not like this movie. There is a big chance you won't understand what's it about.
This is not a movie for an everyday simple Joe, this is not a movie for everyone.
But if you belong to the 20% that is intellectually and mentally above the general population, you will absolutely adore this piece and all it represents. If you have heard something about Jung, if you were interested in psychology, brainwashing, virtual reality, or if you were thinking about the nature of the "true truth", be prepared for such a mental blow to your head it will spin many minutes after the credits roll.
What the Matrix ultimately failed to deliver, that idea about not living a life we think we are is present and it's masterfully done. Other questions arise as well - what are deja vus? What if they aren't a malfunction of your brain? How do you explain that feeling you know someone you've just met?
Is it possible to cram 6 different genres into one epic movie with brilliant acting and music? If you'd asked me before watching Cloud Atlas, I would say NO FREAKING CHANCE. I was wrong.
If you haven't watched this movie yet, drop anything you're doing right now and go see it. Your brain will thank you for the workout and for the mental orgasm you'll give it (Forget what some critics are saying, critics aren't known for their open-mindedness).
Did I mention an amazing music score?
