a true science fiction achievement

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2013)

Off the bat, after seeing the preview for Cloud Atlas, I was very intrigued to find out more about this film. It is a film like no other, and from the directors, Andy Wachowski one of the great minds behind the Matrix trilogy. Cloud Atlas without question had his touch and creativity. The different stories that the filmmakers somehow combine so perfectly is amazing, yet at times its hard not to get lost in one story and all of a sudden switch to the next which was tough to get used to at first. Overall the stories were very interesting and how they all seem to intertwine, the acting is superb with a nice buffet of great actors makes this film absolutely amazing. It is however a shame that Cloud Atlas was very questionably overlooked by awards, but it is a true winner in my book.
