Well-acted and viually striking pretentious drivel, with just about every verbal and situational cliche in the history of movie scripts. A little \&***************,\" a little \"Soylent Green, \" a little \"Star Wars. \" The movie may only run 2 hours and 42 minutes. It felt like...decades.

I enjoyed this movie. Interesting non-traditional format kept me intrigued the entire time.

At first, the stories seemed quite disconnected, but when you put the pieces together the movie is absolutely brilliant and even touching. If you didn't like this movie, it's probably because you don't have the intellectual capacity to understand it hahaha

This was the worst movie ever, we sat there for the first 45 mins and never understood what the heck was going on. We walked out along with others. Don't waste your money on this one.

As inventive narratives go, there's outside the box, and then there's pioneering another dimension entirely, and this massive, independently financed collaboration among Tom Tykwer and Wachowski siblings Lana and Andy courageously attempts the latter. Full Review

This is by no means the best movie of the year, but it may be the most movie you can get for the price of a single ticket. Full Review

While Tom Tykwer, Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski haven't necessarily expanded on Mitchell's book, they've done a superlative job making it legible onscreen. Cloud Atlas deserves praise if only for not being the baggy, pretentious disaster it could have been in other hands. Full Review

The cinematography is gorgeous and the makeup amazing, but the story lines are too disconnected. Full Review

Tom Hanks' appearances come across like scene changes between unfunny sketches on 'Saturday Night Live.' Full Review
