Cloud Atlas: Everything Is Connected

If there was ever a film in need of heavy editing, it is Cloud Atlas.

An edit won’t ever be able to fix the very weird and confusing casting choices, with a cacophony of apparently reincarnating souls. But by getting closer to the book’s structure and weaving of the stories, this edit turns the film closer to the epic it was always supposed to be.

My only minor complaints, like previous reviewers have pointed out, relate to some visual and audio cuts, they were too obvious for me. Particularly the ones connecting the timelines, they were very inconsistent; in some “time jumps” we would get far too long fade-outs, in other places the cuts were too sudden and felt forced.
