Extremely ambitious

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2020)

Cloud Atlas is an extremely ambitious film that despite the inconsistent quality of it's stories is still great. Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and Jim Sturgess are all incredible. Hugo Weaving, James D'Arcy, Jim Broadbent, Ben Whishaw, Doona Bae and Hugh Grant are all great. It's well paced and the CG is mostly excellent. The direction by Lana Wachowski, Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer is excellent. The music by Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil is beautiful.
