Movie Review: CLOUD ATLAS

I’ve watched the movie premier of CLOUD ATLAS at SM Megamall last November 24. At first, I thought it’s just a typical movie of suspense or fiction or even the love story type but when I saw it. It was amaze and the movie is unique that the characters in the movie is connecting to one another. From a set or group of celebrities that their role are from medieval era to present and future. That’s makes me “amaze” how they do that. Very creative indeed.

It is based on the best-selling novel by David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas is written for the screen and directed by acclaimed filmmakers Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer and Andy Wachowski. It features a stellar ensemble cast led by Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, DoonaBae, Ben Whishaw, James D’Arcy, Xun Zhou, Keith David, Susan Sarandon and Hugh Grant, all appearing in multiple roles.
