Cloud Atlas
Lana and Lilly Wachowski and Tom Tykwer’s 2012 epic fantasy features a formidable cast who inhabit different characters as they wander through six different eras with each timeframe sporting a different plot. Luckily for the audience those tangled storylines seem to cohere by movie’s end. Jumping back and forth from the 18th century to the distant future, Tom Hanks and Halle Berry play the lead time travelers. At 172 minutes the multi-layered production naturally polarized audiences and critics, earning praise for its ambition and brickbats for its convoluted premise.
