Cloud Atlas

It's "Blade Runner" meets "Planet of the Apes" meets "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" meets "The China Syndrome" meets so many more. This epic journey spans 400 years of human civilization in the past, present, and future with an all-star cast playing so many multiple roles in several story lines that it may give you an "Inception" headache. This visually stunning film deals with Man's repeated the crimes and act of kindness throughout history. Some of the dialogue is hard to understand due to some of the accents and trying to interpret the new speak language after the Fall. Don't be too quick to exit after enduring this nearly 3 hour extravaganza. Photos during the credits will shed some light on some of characters that you may or may not have recognized during the film.

Alien gives it 3 "Cloud Atlas Sextet" stars out of 4.
