Cloud Atlas Ratings & Reviews
- Josh17. oktober 2025Better the 2nd time I watched it.
- ahwoo21. december 2025A brilliant film once you turn the subtitles on
- Shaydeknight17. december 2025As science fiction, Cloud Atlas is unapologetically epic. It is ambitious, emotionally resonant, and visually stunning. Its interwoven narratives are not a structural trick but the film's core thesis: lives echo throughout time, actions reverberate beyond individual existence, and identity is neither fixed nor singular. The result is a film that rewards attention and trust in its audience. And yes, the book is better. But I purposefully detached myself from that thought in order to view the film as fairly as I could. I was rewarded by thoroughly enjoying the experience. If you haven't, of course go and read the book, it's quite different from the film, and sumptuous to say the least. Credit is due to the co-directors, Lana and Lilly Wachowski, whose command of large-scale science fiction is well established. From The Matrix trilogy to V for Vendetta, they have consistently demonstrated an instinct for conceptual ambition and visual daring. Even their lesser works (Speed Racer foremost) remain visually astonishing despite narrative thinness. While some missteps such as Jupiter Ascending and The Matrix Resurrections are inevitable and difficult to defend, their strengths are generally unmistakable: sweeping compositions, extended takes, and a visual language that prioritizes momentum and awe. In Cloud Atlas, those strengths are harnessed with unusual discipline, resulting in imagery that serves theme rather than spectacle alone. The ensemble cast is extraordinary. It is unnecessary to isolate individual moments because the achievement is collective: each actor commits fully to the conceit, often among radically different incarnations, without irony or detachment. That sincerity is essential; without it, the film's thematic reach would collapse under its own weight. Production design is equally impressive. Every era feels inhabited rather than staged. From historical settings to speculative futures, the environments communicate culture, decay, aspiration, and memory through texture and detail. These are not sets in the theatrical sense, they are lived-in worlds. As a linguist, the far-future sequences featuring Tom Hanks and Halle Berry stand out to me. The evolved language is not treated as novelty but as a functional, expressive system, delivered with fluency and ease. The care taken to make it plausible and emotionally transparent is exceptional. Credit is due to David Mitchell, the writer of the original novel, whose attention to linguistic evolution recalls the rigour with which J.R.R. Tolkien treated language as the backbone of world-building rather than mere ornamentation. Cloud Atlas is a rare achievement: intellectually ambitious, emotionally sincere, and technically assured. It is one of the few films in recent memory that earns its scale rather than merely displaying it.
- Nahim Wazir4. marts 2025A stunning film.
- gnathanson9. december 2025Entertaining epic made up of six short stories. Does a decent job of keeping common threads throughout but sometimes lleaves the viewer trying to recall details of previous segments. Acting was a 7 out of 10. Overall a thought-provoking romp through time.
- justin.9194. maj 2025It’s so wonderful and mind blowing But really it is! An adventure through time that you would never imaging that leads to an understanding that the world never truly changes
- nsaf243. maj 2025Absolute Garbage
