Review For Cloud Atlas
They key to successfully absorbing the movie may be in not trying to overthink what's on screen. James Berardinelli-ReelViews An eminently peculiar mismatch of substance and form, like a Hallmark card written by David Foster Wallace. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic The result is maddening, exasperating, occasionally exhilarating -- and mostly boring. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor For all the spectacular settings and visionary designs, Cloud Atlas left me feeling disconnected Peter Travers-Rolling Stone Felicitous moments can't break through the dark nebula of self-importance around Cloud Atlas ... Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail Sumptuous visuals and audacious acting, but the quasi-profound message of cosmic connectedness isn't worth all the trouble. Rafer Guzman-Newsday Cloud Atlas quite marvellously weaves a half-dozen storylines into an intriguing coat of many generational colours. S. James Wegg-JWR It delivers a mixed message: Like the Wachowskis' previous films (yes, even 'Speed Racer'), it's about people fighting to free themselves from conspiratorial systems of control; yet the 'uplifting' hooey about destiny suggests we're just pawns, after all. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) A genuine one of a kind film. Courageous filmmaking that proves cinema can still provoke wonderment and reflection. Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie Might as well embrace the timeline where, in fact, films of this ambition are still being made, still being presented to that audience quite desperate for respite from a slew of remakes, sequels, re-imaginings and the like. Jason Gorber-Twitch Cloud Atlas is never boring; I checked the time at one point, saw that we had about an hour to go, and settled back, relaxed and happy to get more. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com With 'Cloud Atlas' you'll play connect the dots, and potentially feel like a kid, remembering what it is like to be amazed at what you are seeing on the big screen. Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review Like Babel stretched through time, though its character connections are merely assumed. Matthew Sorrento-Film International It is hard to think of another film in recent memory in which the accumulation of so much talent has rendered so little. Kenneth R. Morefield-Christianity Today Cloud Atlas, for the most part, comes off as a tedious slog through six hopelessly uninvolving storylines... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews A sprawling, visionary film that, despite its behemoth length and choppy narrative, can be appreciated for its ambition and visual splendor even as it defies explanation. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) Lacking in coherence, as it tries but fails to juggle six distinct stories through different time periods that cover five centuries. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews Overall though, it is a hugely ambitious and impressive undertaking, the mere attempt of which should be applauded, let alone the lengths at which the Wachowskis et Tykwer actually achieve this vision. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk It's entirely possible to enjoy Cloud Atlas solely for its spectacular visuals and grandiose play-acting. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express A stunning romantic-philosophical spectacle with a spectacular cast. Sadly, an undeserving box office flop in the U.S. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest The very size of the film and its narrative ambitions have a way of keeping us just at arm's length, as if we are meant to appreciate its vastness without getting fully lost in it. James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk A rare example of cinematic art. Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies If this is moviemaking and not filmmaking, I say let's have more movies and less films. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) If there is a fault to be found with this film, it's that it wants to be about everything. But if it was any less than that, it wouldn't be this film. Widgett Walls-Needcoffee.com But for an unnecessary insistence on reinforcing its own themes and motifs, this might have been a great film. I'm still pleased it exists at all. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth Mash-up works best if you don't take it too seriously Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
