Review of Cloud Atlas (2012) by Steve H — 28 May 2015

It's beautiful, philosophical, and just brilliant. This is one of the most amazing things I have seen in theaters. Actually one of the greatest movies I have ever seen, yes the reviews are rather mixed but the ones who hated it did not understand it. At least I do not think so, this is a love or hate movie, I loved it and I don't care. The movie was , emotional and just damn brilliant. Easily the best movie of the year.

How do I talk about this movie? how? I do not know how to, it's hard to describe it. It is something you have to see for yourself. It's basically about reincarnation and how what we do with our lives, affects the future and how everything is connected. It literally goes deep into the philosophy of human nature, if philosophy is your thing look no further. The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer all did a phenomenal job on it.

The film is strange, quirky and yet beautiful, not to mention it was interesting seeing how the actors and actresses played all these multiple roles. It was also quite clever. The movie has action, romance and humor. It deals a lot about Karma, also explores on why we humans are the way we are, as I said, it goes into human nature.

I don't know how to write a helpful review on this movie, I also don not know how to describe it but it's stuck in my head and I can't stop thinking about it. The Matrix is my favorite movie of all time but Cloud Atlas I think is on par with it. It might be the best movie of the year for me, but also my favorite movie of all time.
