As David Mitchell says, "a sort of pointillist mosaic"

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2013)

We have seen many movies in the past that deal with a plural number of stories (multiple story-lines) trying to prove a single point. In such movies that deal with different kinds of stories based on a singular point requires the best screenplay either in the novels or for the silver screen; to make sure an unbiased presentation prevails all over. Cloud Atlas is such movie containing six inter-woven stories trying to prove a single point, but are not based on a single point.
The movie is made of opulent and dramatic scenes, that gives its viewers a spellbinding and, yet a realistic experience. We never feel confused for the intertwined stories, but the kind of storytelling brings us to the edge of the seat till the end of the cinema.
The movie is special in its kind, for the stories in the movie are not based on a point but are interwoven and their relation in trying to prove a single point:
"An exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution."
Worth a watch for all the movie-goers, and definitely worth spending for the ticket. Relax and enjoy the one-of-a-kind storytelling.
