Cloud Atlas
Overview
A set of six nested stories spanning time between the 19th century and a distant post-apocalyptic future. Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future. Based on the award winning novel by David Mitchell. Directed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis.

A film which piles on the action, the romance, the philosophical inquiry and the silly accents until the viewer is left punch-drunk and reeling. Seriously, what's not to love?
Tom Huddleston, Time Out

They key to successfully absorbing the movie may be in not trying to overthink what's on screen.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
An eminently peculiar mismatch of substance and form, like a Hallmark card written by David Foster Wallace.
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic
Rotten
The result is maddening, exasperating, occasionally exhilarating -- and mostly boring.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
