The film is ambitious and i do like some of its stories but others just feel out of place. I mean at least all of them are not boring to watch so thats a plus.

Overview
A set of six nested stories spanning time between the 19th century and a distant post-apocalyptic future. Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future. Based on the award winning novel by David Mitchell. Directed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping, ambitious puzzle-box that traces how small moments of resistance and kindness echo across centuries, demanding you hold multiple timelines and selves in your mind at once. It's as much about the struggle to connect across distance and difference as it is about the weight of history bearing down on us.
