One of the best movies I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2014)

This movie blew me away. I was left wanting to watch it again and tell all my friends that it's a "must see". If you are a fan of thought-provoking, original film you will enjoy Cloud Atlas.
I can't believe it wasn't more successful. Breathtaking! The scale of the film is sweeping - it spans centuries, continents and lifetimes. The editing is fast, clever, fascinating... I mean that literally. One of the reasons I will watch it again is that the story lines happen simultaneously in a cleverly intertwined way.
Frankly, I think the critics who didn't like the film didn't understand it. Cloud Atlas is surprising, life-affirming, challenging and envirogating. I watched it late in the evening and couldn't sleep afterwards. I kept thinking about the characters, plot-lines and scenes for days.
It's a big movie and superbly done. I can't recommend it highly enough. It will probably be one of my favourites for years to come.
