If you're looking for a movie that has a straightforward and easy to decipher plot, this is NOT for you. The movie is complex with the spiritual concept of reincarnation connecting the various stories over hundreds of years. There's also an underlying theme of enslavement in obvious and more subtle forms throughout the chapters in the movie. This is the type of movie that needs to be viewed several times to understand and appreciate. So if you have the time, patience and intelligence, this movie will turn out to be a very rewarding experience

Cloud Atlas seemed to have an interesting story line, particularly given that the same actors appear as different characters over large time gaps. The make-up effects were what drew my attention in this purchase.. Visually there were interesting aspects, however, the whole effect was disjointed, and created an unsettling feeling, which was bothersome in trying to follow the flashbacks in the time sequences. Some character make ups were not successful, so I would not recommend this video.

A film that performs the feat of bringing a very complex story to life. Cloud Atlas is very hard to describe, and to watch this movie a person must pay attention closely. The narrative shifts from era to era, allowing multiple experiences across multiple lives to unfold slowly, driving home the central point that all these lives and all of their struggles, across centuries, are intertwined. The first time I saw a part of the movie, I instantly knew that I would have to own it and watch it carefully to grasp it fully. This is one of those rare movies I know I'll watch many many times over the years...and still enjoy it every single time.
I read the Book first because I could tell that this was going to confuse me. I ended up Listening to the book and then it flowed much better because of the odd words and French sprinkled in..... Then -- I watched the Movie. The movie was different than the book in parts and ending. The movie was still confusing, I admit, but so good. Without reading the book though, I don't know how anyone could follow and understand the storylines. There is a message, definitely R rated but so worth trying to understand -------stop reading --Spoiler alert? - watch for the comet shaped birthmark, that's what marks and ties the characters together as one person throughout time.
