A puzzle solving movie which make my day!

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2013)

Cloud Atlas is a puzzle solving movie : you got 6 different world which individually happens not in chronological order. It likes a mega version of "Mometo" as the coverage of timeline may span hundreds of years, or a bit like "Inception" but you are not jumping into different dreams but world.
Yet the camera keep jumping back and forth : This second the people are killing each other with arrows and sword, the next frame plasma guns is the basic weapon. It may sounds a but confusing to you at the beginning of the movie, but just relax. The epic scene cutting to link different world makes the stories jump around quite smooth, and bring in one of the key message of the film: Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others
If you believe in karma & after lives, enjoy mystery and an alternative love story, Cloud Atlas is going to amuse you.
