Everybody loves a trier--and Cloud Atlas Tom Tykwer & the Wachowski’s genre-hopping epic of interlinking stories is a deserving sci-fi contender that sets its originality & complexity against the grain of risk-averse Hollywood The writers have heroically adapted David Mitchel’s bestselling 2004 novel condensing its 500 pages into three brisk hours & ditching its famous chronology in which successive time periods are arranged concentrically like Russian dolls Instead Cloud Atlas slides back & forth over its half-dozen stories--Victorian travelogue interwar romance 70s corporate thriller bedroom farce dystopian sci-fi & lyrical post-apocalypse--interlocking them like an enormous cross-word puzzle As with the Wachowski’s Matrix trilogy the overall plot of Cloud Atlas is an earnest epic of metaphysical freedom-fighting & a daisy-chain of clues place the film’s themes of slavery (whether personal political or corporate) & abolitionism as an eternal cycle in human history Rejected by Hollywood in early production Cloud Atlas was rescued by 100m of independent money & the good faith of its up-for-it cast--who bust a gut to inhabit multiple roles including successive reincarnations of the same set of characters Artistically it just about breaks even as a sci-fi blockbuster staring its critics down & flaunting its eccentric touches These
