I can't decide if this looks like it'll turn out to be superb or a bit of a mess. One thing is for sure, visually it's pretty flawless. If The Wachowskis do end up directing
Justice League, we can at the very least be certain of eye-gasms.
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 dramatically 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.
Cloud Atlas was also co-written and directed by Tom Tykwer (
Run Lola Run, The International) and in addition to Hanks, Weaving and Berry, stars Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Ben Whishaw, James D'Arcy, Xun Zhou, Keith David, David Gyasi, Susan Sarandon, and Hugh Grant. The movie hits theaters October 26th.
