It's kind of strange writing this blog post about Cloud Atlas weeks after seeing the movie. Though I saw it during the opening weekend, I'm now aware that it bombed at the box office and that critical reviews were pretty mixed. In other words, opinions about the movie have been set and I'm unlikely to change anyone's mind about seeing it.
Still, the more I think about Cloud Atlas, the more I admire it. More importantly, the more I think about it, the more I like it.
This is, to put it mildly, an ambitious piece of work. From the minute I saw the first trailer, I said that it was either going to be a masterpiece or a total train wreck. I may have been off by a little -- While I'm not ready to call it a masterpiece, I will say that it works, it works very well.
Where to begin?
