CrazyIt is crazy that people can say, "They don't explain the characters enough and how they connect to one another". It is crazy that people can criticize this movie for not explaining enough for them, as if they want all the answers served to them on a platter. The fact is, Cloud Atlas is a movie you need to watch over and over to understand the nuances of such a complicated plot; and even better, it is a movie you will want to watch over and over. Once you watch this movie again, things will become clear. You will see things you never saw before, and that is the definition of a well created movie.Score: 5/5

Ambitious filmmaking but with many flawsNeedless to say Cloud Atlas wasn't my expectations seeing it because right after the embrassment of the Wachowisk's other film The Matrix Revolutions which packed a lot of hate and desire towards the Matrix troilgy and left me disappointed. Although the Matrix is still a cult classic and the sequel was a bit more updated Revolutions was a hitter miss enstallment in the franchise with Wachowski's new film Cloud Altas is an ambitious film with all sort of intelligent filmmaking and washed out storylines to keep you company. Cloud Altas centers around 6 different stories that connect with each other in a way that the conclusive narrative is stuck in between character development and daring visual effects. Gotta say the visual effects were more realistc and had a lot of style towards the actors to shine, The Wachowski brothers have accomplished the matrix troilgy i know but Cloud Atlas is nothing sort of fraustrating or entertaining for me to be engaged to the story but all i found from Cloud Atlas was untentionally hailrious momments. Cloud Altas has a stellar cast including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent, Jim Sturgess, Ben Whisaw (Skyfall) and Hugo Weaving (The Lord of the Rings troilgy). The cast is supporting enough to play each other sex and race throughout the entire era of times and events that are occured in the film and for me it was distracting to see other characters with some level of connection and charactiscts they accomplished. Cloud Atlas left me with questions than answers could it be that The Wachowski brothers made a film worse than the Matrix Revolutions? no but with all the narrative stories and complicated plotholes in each era of time the result is beyond writting and special characters that are likable or interesting for the audience to get bored or confused into what is happening. Now i do like some of the stories but some of the acting and character development felt incomplete and left me wondering who is this made for? can i enjoy a sci-fi movie mixed with the sin city of storytelling or a future world mixed with Blade Runner, The Fifth Element or Akria (Anime) But i thought this sci-fi movie was going to be about timelapse into action after action but visually this movie looks gorgeous, yeah this film looks like a brilliant set piece for each and other story. Cloud Altas is a little disappointing despite it's brilliant cast members that are casted in the film and not that the movie is neither confusing or lacklusting for me to enjoy it. Decide for yourself either you love Cloud Atlas or not you can still watch it not knowing your expecatations are running low on gas..Score: 3/5
Cloud Atlas is An Excellent FilmThis film kept me riveted the whole way through. The intertwining of all the stories fueled my curiosity throughout and the resolution was satisfying. I suspect if I had read the book—likely a story of this magnitude would have been impossible to do real justice—I might have been less satisfied with the film. (I'm always frustrated with films that don't stay true to the original source material.) I'm very surprised that the critic reviews were so mixed and also by the fairly low Rotten Tomatoes score. Truly odd for such an excellent film—especially one so well acted. The negative reviews from Joe Public would be expected as they're idiots looking for Mad Max knock-offs or something, which—Conan's excepted—this was not..Score: 5/5

Cloud AtlasIf I could give this film a minus rating I would. It is simply a hodge podge of ersatz philosophy thrown together in a totally adolescent fashion. The film attempts to capture what was a complexly interwoven novel and manages to bring you four or five mini movies- all of them which would be rated as mediocre to very bad- stitched together in a long boring tedious 3 hours of amateur film making. The Wachowski clan produced one brilliant movie, The Matrix, and then apparently fell victim to their swollen egos. Its all been downhill from there..Score: 1/5
Genuine masterpieceThis movie is about life and death, about freedom, choice and personal responsibility for your actions. This movie makes you cry and laugh, confused and enlightened. It's a mirror we can have a look at ourselves. It’s true masterpiece, that takes place in a heart..Score: 5/5

Breathtaking.This movie even thought it began with a book and I know how the book is; confusing, yet there was always a moment in your mind wanting it to be a film to see the characters grow As the did in the book. Now this movie if you are really closely paying attention everything makes sense, and you will sit thorough the whole credits (like I did) watching it. Thanking every person on there for their great effort on the film. Or mesmerized be the music....... Sextet. And while you are mesmerized you will think if the good and bad you've done, thinking man this was and is a beautiful life. The moment you walk, you feel different. Well here. You are thinking what the hell are they talking about. And hey I don't blame you. All you have to do is watch the Cloud Atlas. (Don't rent. Buy the movie! You will NOT be disappointed.).Score: 5/5
