They key to successfully absorbing the movie may be in not trying to overthink what's on screen.

\Cloud Atlas\ deserves praise if only for not being the baggy, pretentious disaster it could have been in other hands.

It's funny, violent and prodigiously romantic it has immense heart and more gorgeous cinematic moments than I can describe.

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

It plays like a gargantuan trailer for a movie still to be made (one that, given the same ratio, would be 86 hours long).

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Finally, what sinks \Cloud Atlas\ is not the largeness of its ambitions but the lack of skill it displays in terms of writing, directing and acting.

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

Did you hear the one about the Zen master who walks up to a hot dog cart, scans the menu, and asks the vendor to \make me one with everything\?

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

\Cloud Atlas\ offers more answers than it does questions, and by the end of its nearly three-hour running time - which flies by surprisingly fast, all things considered - it feels like the most feverishly expensive late-night college bull session ever.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Cloud Atlas is now a film, for better or worse. Mostly worse I'd say, but give these folks credit ...

Bob Mondello, NPR

Emotionally barren eye candy.

Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Cloud Atlas creates awe about worlds seen and unseen, frequently bypassing the brain on the way to the heart and soul.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Take a collection of stories, connect them through portentous themes and watch it all spin. We've seen it before -Babel, anyone? - but nothing is quite like the daft, brazenly ambitious cosmic fantasia ofCloud Atlas.

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

Three directors, plus six story lines, times five centuries equals one grandly conceived, impressively mounted megaflop.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

It isn't as complicated as it thinks.

Kyle Smith, New York Post

For all its strengths, the film is cursed by an ADD-style structure and a flashy but inevitably ineffective casting stunt.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

An incomprehensible mess, held together only by the elaborate stunt of having the same actors play wildly divergent roles in each story.

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

If the talented Wachowskis are ever going to achieve true artistic nirvana, they're going to have to be more disciplined with their grand ideas, more ruthless in their rewrites.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

It's kind of astonishing that for all its ambition and accomplishment, and for the ostensibly subversive philosophy it pushes, \Cloud Atlas\ ends up being just another platitudinous overblown pummel-you-into-submission movie-machine.

Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies

The movie doesn't really work, but it's fascinating in the ways it doesn't.

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

This is by no means the best movie of the year, but it may be the most movie you can get for the price of a single ticket.

A.O. Scott, New York Times

Surely this is one of the most ambitious films ever made.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

If you're interested in the sheer craft of filmmaking, Cloud Atlas is required viewing - a rare example of a movie getting by entirely on technique and creative bravado.

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

Galumphing and heavy-handed, its rare flights of lyricism stranded between long stretches of outright risibility.

Dana Stevens, Slate

It's a polarizing, ambitious, sometimes beautiful and occasionally maddening epic.

Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com

The cumulative effect is one of spectacle over substance.

Claudia Puig, USA Today

It will aid your experience of the swirling, sweeping dramatic adventure Cloud Atlas, if you embrace the idea of being a little bit lost.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

Enormous in length and scope, a film whose purpose doesn't even begin to come into focus until two hours in.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

he best thing about Cloud Atlas is that it could, and should, turn into a properly divisive film... but one has to ask: does it allow for immersion? Even as we applaud the dramatic machinery, are we being kept emotionally at bay?

A trash heap of rubber noses and implausible high school accents that give new meaning to the word \pretentious.\
