Cloud Atlas review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/07/13

"There is a natural order in this world." Various characters in different era's. The real meat aside from its stunning visual effects is the screenplay. Bountiful quotable lines such as: Sonmi-451 -"I believe death is only a door. One closes, and another opens." Dr. Henry Goose - "Our lives and our choices, each encounter, suggest a new potential direction." "Fear. Belief. Love. Phenomena that determine the course of our lives." Captain Molyneux - "When life gives you lemons, you make apple juice." A few minor qualms would be its dull pace, length, plot setting and direction. This would have been way better if it was executed chronologically (unless intended and I missed something) and better character build-up to make the film more fun to watch instead of overloading the figures which was confusing to follow. Cloud Atlas is worth viewing if you have time to invest on the stories/bountiful characters. Maybe after repeat viewings this could have more clarity much like films of Lynch/Cronenberg...or maybe not.
