Cloud Atlas

In 1973 San Francisco, the same yellow car with black stripe (a Ford Maverick) drives by in two different shots.

There are no known habitable planets from which Earth would be visible in the night sky.

However, this storyline is set hundreds of years in the future, by which time a good deal of technology may exist.

The "planet" in the final scene could be an asteroid or other fairly large celestial body on which Terra-forming technology is used.

The calendar on Luisa Rey's wall reads September 1973, and it clearly shows that the 1st of the month was Friday.

However, September 1st 1973 was Saturday.

When Luisa Rey is driven off the bridge, you cannot see any reflection in the inside mirror in the car.

Tom Hanks' wound was away from his left eye.

Yet, after getting the wound stitched he had an eye patch.

And it shows that his eye was wounded on the old Tom Hanks.

First generation Volkswagen Beetles are famous for being able to float.

Luisa's car would not have sunk so fast, if at all, when ran off the bridge into the water.

When Zachry is looking for enemies in his family's hut, he is holding the knife upside down.

Several seconds afterwards, the knife is facing up.

In the credits, Luisa Rey's stunt double is misspelled as Louisa.

In the final scene showing Timothy Cavendish, in which he is writing the screenplay for the movie based on his adventures, the typewriter text shows a phrase containing the word "labored".

Being English, he would spell it the English way, "laboured".

Not very often in my life i have opportunity to see a movie with such a high rating (stars in IMDb) to see it later as complete failure. I've entered in this uncommon piece of 7th art with open mind just to be totally disappointed.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Boy oh boy, a masterpiece. Second to none!....................

To be honest people just love the fighting robot. They don't bother thought provoking movie like this.

I'm pretty sure that I have no clue what Cloud Atlas was about, and oddly enough I feel very comfortable living the rest of my life accepting that. Perhaps there's some type of existential point to the film, but I didn't get it nor want to.

As a person who is sometimes characterized as egocentric, pretentious, and overblown, I can commiserate with the producer and actors of this film. Cloud Atlas is all these things and more.

I have to say that it is a kind of movie easily making people confused. It is true that even to the end there are still some guys can not figure out what is going on here.

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. I'm a big fan of the novel this was based on, but I also would have rated it -- as a whole work -- one of the most unfilmable books I've ever read.

Brilliant story, brilliant soundtrack, brilliant acting, top a list of actors.
