Just walk through the door

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2012)

Let me start by saying I truly enjoyed The Matrix films, and was for this reason super excited by Cloud Atlas. As for the movie itself, before seeing it I watched trailers and read articles, none of it prepared me for the movie. It is not perfect, but i will not even talk about those points. This movie is what happens when big Hollywood money is put to good use. This movie is so much greater than the sum of its parts. Do not examine the run time, or make up, or violence, or story as things to pick a part or study. I cannot stress this enough; walk through the door and let this movie consume you, and I believe it will effect each person in a unique way if you let it. This movie made me remember why I love films, and directors who do not try to make perfect films, but try to make an experience, and the three directors of Cloud Atlas have made one hell of an emotional experience.
