If you thought Inception was mind boggling, Wachowski brothers have something better in store for you. No more comparing. Cloud Atlas is one of this decade's most ambitious film powered by brilliant imagination which would probably not strike even the intelligent day dreamer.
"The Matrix" was another dream of theirs but that was something which they created themselves. This time they bank on David Mitchell's novel of the same name. I haven't read the novel but I guess the movie has done justice to the novel.
There are multiple storylines which converge into an epic thereby making Cloud Atlas a mother of all film maker's dreams.
Each segment of the movie is a concoction of all the 6 stories weaved together. There have been many other movies which have tried to do this before but Cloud Atlas will beat them by a mile in just the way the screenplay has been written. When you read about the movie in the internet, you will definitely get confused and when you watch the movie, you will have a sigh of relief as the Wachowski brothers have made it look a little simpler and easy to understand. (Conditions Apply - You have to concentrate and keep your eyes glued to the screen)
Music is scored by 3 people and they have done a great job especiallly in creating the central theme which is also the symphony of the same name as the movie.
The location and the costumes have been designed specifically for the time in which the movie travels and it is interesting to see some animals still alive in the future. (I noticed just one bird in the whole movie).
Watching Cloud Atlas is an exercise to your brain and a treat to your eyes. Will make you want to watch it again and notice a few more new things. Truly a lesson for every film maker and a dream for every dreamer - Cloud Atlas joins Inception in the list of amazing motion pictures made in my lifetime.
This ~2.5hour movie is must go to. Don't miss it!
Rating: 4.5/5
Cloud Atlas: Whoa!
