Review of Cloud Atlas (2012) by Antony G — 08 Nov 2014

Wow! That's the one word that comes to mind after viewing this film. This is a remarkable movie that requires an open mind and a little bit of patience. I love the underlying story of this movie and the many different stories kept me glued to the screen anxiously awaiting for what was coming up next.

Now the majority of viewers out there(people with ADD for one), will not be able to sit through 30 minutes of this movie. But people who want to be challenged and mesmerized and absorbed by their movie going experience will be rendered breathless.

This is not a movie for everyone but for me, it was refreshing to see a film that doesn't require fast paced editing tricks and constant explosions to keep their audience glued to their seats. Instead, these film makers use a little trick called.

. . . STORYTELLING to intrigue the viewers and that is just A OK in my book.
