    Cloud Atlas

    ★★★½

    *Cloud Atlas* is a visually stunning and ambitious film that weaves together multiple narratives across time and space, creating a bold cinematic experience. The performances are a mix of strange and strong, with actors diving into complex roles, often aided by prosthetics that, while striking when successful, sometimes feel less convincing.

Despite its occasional missteps, *Cloud Atlas* stays with you, leaving a lasting impact with its exploration of interconnectedness and the ripple effects of our actions through time.

The twist and turn lose their edge, and the story becomes predictable, detracting from the originality that made the first half so captivating. While still entertaining, it doesn't quite stick the landing as strongly as it begins.
