Cloud Atlas ****

I give this one four stars for effort, execution, and performances. Set in multiple times past, present, and future, with actors portraying several characters, sometimes of multiple genders, the theme of the movie of the interconnectedness of live and the survival of souls is well represented and embodied in this ambitious undertaking. It takes a bit of concentration from the viewer, but it is cleanly put together, surprisingly so for such a far-reaching tale. It's a case well made, but in the end, it's a point that seems too broad and simple, rather than deep and meaningful.
