Cloud Atlas Review
By Ken Parker
You have probably heard about this
movie. You have heard terms such as “mess”, “long”
“ambitious”, unique”, “confusing” and “flop”. The
variety of reviews that I have read place this movie on opposite
sides of the spectrum stating that it is a life changing film and an
incredible cinematic experience to an overcomplicated muddled
disaster of a film. Back earlier this year I read the Cloud Atlas
book written by David Mitchell, after hearing good things about it.
At the time I knew little about the movie being produced although I
think I knew there was one in the works. The book was very
entertaining and thought provoking and I reviewed it here.
I had trouble believing that the book
could be made into a movie in the first place. I felt the movie
would have to be 8 hours long or make no sense at all. The
filmmakers compromised and made a 2 hour 44 min film that makes some
sense.
