Review of Cloud Atlas (2012) by Erichschoe — 01 Nov 2012

I loved this movie. I had just finished reading the book which is an incredible read, the language is just beautiful, and I was curious as to how they could film it, but they did an incredible job. It deserves to be seen on a big screen because the special effects are mesmerizing.

And although they changed the structure of the book, which is triangular, the intercutting of the film actually connects the stories in a more coherent fashion. The use of the same actors over and over again is great fun and enforces the concepts of souls moving through time.

It's my favorite film this year, all my friends have seen it and loved it, and we all want to see it a second time.
