Watch Cloud Atlas For Free

Powerful

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Does anyone understand this film the first time round? Or at least the first half of the film until you realize the six different storylines actually intertwines. At first, it is awfully confusing with the same actors portraying very different characters in different time periods. Also, with so many characters I easily forget about some of them and what they were up to, with the jumping backwards of forwards between stories and timelines. It is an interesting concept, though, but a heck of a lot to digest. The actors does a brilliant job, especially Tom Hanks. The make-up and visual effects are incredible, the music awesome. I loved how the individual stories ended, although I must admit I did not see the one impacting the other, apart from the fact all the stories had the same theme: cry for freedom.As the film contains so many genres, it really is difficult categorizing it. It is essentially a love story, comedy, drama, sci-fi, action adventure...

There will be people who will say this one of the best movies they ever watched. There would also be people who say this is one of the worst movies they will ever see. The hard part about reviewing this movie is that I don't think this can have a normal, fair review. This is a very long movie. It has a run-time of just under 3 hours, but it feels like it's 4 hours. I think this directly correlates with the problems in tone. The movie tells multiple stories, ones that span across centuries. The movie just has a hard time, keeping a solid tone. From one second you will go from a gunfight or an ax battle, then to a a character ascending to some kind of spiritual order. Honestly though the biggest problem in the messages the movie wants to give are of many, but the main point simply does not carry too much weight. There will also be times when you wonder if there are any reasons why certain scenes will be taking place, and if they have a a deeper meaning, few times with no answer. Cloud Atlas might be a masterpiece, but so far I have nothing. I am going to give Cloud Atlas a 6.

I liked the movie as an entertaining movie. But Clud Atlas should be more than a movie. I dont think it delivers the messages it should. The different Storys are nicely told, but they dont match up to a great masterpice. Despice this disappointement it is nice to watch. But nothing more than that.

This is a beautiful and thought-provoking film. It is confusing. It requires at least two viewings in order to get things straight.I wonder if it would be just as good if the six stories were presented in strict chronological order.
