String Theory Is Cloud Atlas

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2013)

Cloud Atlas is a story based on string theory, and what I mean by that is, all things throughout our universe or multi-verse have repercussions on every decision we make.
In this film we see many stories with certain outcomes from what choices the characters make, a negative action can have a reaction to another life connected to it, and so can a positive action. It's like tapping on the strings of a grand piano. String theory basically claims that all life is connected in one way or another, kind of like the "six degrees of separation", it's a new concept, but an interesting one.
Cloud Atlas gives us the view of different characters from different points in time, and also from different universe's. It's a very interesting story that makes us think beyond what we really are.
This film is filled with comedic instances also very horrific ones, it gives us a bird's eye view of such wonderful scientific theories in which we can not explain, as of yet. I enjoyed the telling of the intersecting stories that seem to have a few plots in common no matter what time, or universe they took place.
Cloud Atlas, is a different kind of story telling, with radical ideas, I for one enjoyed this film, even though it is a long runtime, I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys a story beyond our logic and beyond our dreams. This film just makes me wonder of who we really are, and most importantly what we are.
