Cloud Atlas tells a huge story in ways that often felt personal and small.

| Oct 3, 2022

Cloud Atlas will confound and maybe even aggravate some unwilling to, quite simply, “go with the flow.” But others will find what few have: a bold, technically awesome, and thematically enduring picture whose arrangement and ambition are unprecedented.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 21, 2022

It’s a highly ambitious picture that pulls off an incredibly clever storytelling technique. But it could also be viewed as a three-hour grind that features many of the Wachowski’s familiar self-indulgences.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 19, 2022

I was hypnotized by Cloud Atlas.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 23, 2022

Its a film unlike any other ever madeone that explores the fluidity of sexuality and genderand a thrilling cinematic experience. The Matrix may have put the Wachowskis on the map. Cloud Atlas proves their real brilliance.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 20, 2022

Far from a block that fits neatly into any sort of structured agenda, Cloud Atlas is a symphony of emotion that plays the synapses and the spine...

[There's'] far too many actors in this town to have to bother paying Tom Hanks $100,000,000 and putting him in nine hundred scenes as different ethnicities and races.

There were so many prosthetic noses.

For all its jabbering about the "connectedness" of humanity, the film never makes any kind of point

As a work of art, Cloud Atlas is no success. The film founders under the burden of its makers' various, perhaps contradictory ideological concerns.

It's like a treasure hunt to uncover the nuggets of brilliance hidden beneath the tangled mess of six interweaving storylines.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 1, 2020

A messy, ambitious film that blends science fiction, philosophical rambling, and impressive narrative prowess, with stunning visuals, and engaging stories and characters.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 15, 2020

Cloud Atlas manages to weave these stories into a thought provoking, beautiful and a boldly ambitious sci-fi film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 15, 2020

Cloud Atlas is a glorious reward for readers who've slogged through a brilliant but flawed novel, and the soundtrack is the cherry on top of the icing on the cake.

One of the best science fiction movies I have seen this year. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 25, 2020

A daring extravaganza of images and themes, a film that asserts itself as worthy of repeated viewings, not only for its quality, but its generously expansive scope.

| Aug 5, 2019

Yes, Cloud Atlas is massively ambitious, and impressive. But as it labours to clarify its own confusion, mapping every last nook of narrative space, any sense of real mystery is obliterated by platitudes about freedom.

While Cloud Atlas has its flaws, there are plenty of moments where I found myself seeing the big picture and fully realizing the weight of every storyline linking to one another throughout time.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jul 2, 2019

Tykwer and the Wachowskis clearly aimed for the stars, and while the final product ultimately falls short, there is still quite a bit to admire in the failure of their epic folly.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 8, 2019

I wouldn't call The Cloud Atlas pure cinema, but... the mix and mash trumps the balderdash.
