Cloud Atlas reviews

Cloud Atlas holds a 6.9/10 average from 7,692 TMDB ratings.

A set of six nested stories spanning time between the 19th century and a distant post-apocalyptic future. Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future.

Based on the award winning novel by David Mitchell. Directed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis.
