It takes a pinch of everything, mixes it with a dash of everything else, throws in some masterful performances, great writing, beautiful scenery and still manages to feel cohesive at all times."

Clickonline writes: "There are flaws here for those inclined to gripe but also many marvels – from high seas of the 19th Century to the far flung future of Sloosha’s Crossin’. A brave cast including Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, James D’Arcy and more help to help the errant threads together and it’s all overseen by the impossibly sure hand of its trio of directors."
Colton of The Daily Rotation wrote, "David Mitchell’s 2004 novel Cloud Atlas, once deemed “unfilmable”, has been ambitiously translated onto the screen by the directing trio of Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis. Leave it to the Wachowskis, the visionary directors of The Matrix and V For Vendetta, to take on the adaptation of a structurally complex novel and transform it into a film that’s visceral in its filmmaking approach and mesmerizingly beautiful. The film manages to be as complex as its original source, but feels more lively and epic."
