The good: The sci-fi / future sequences are mesmerizing and it's a wonderful vehicle for Tom Hanks. Certainly the best I've seen him in a long time. All the actors play multiple characters and they seem to be having a blast. The bad: Enough with the face prosthetics! They are nothing but distracting("Hey, that's Susan Sarandon with a fake nose!! Wait, is it just a fake nose or a fake chin too? What does her real nose look like? Perky, as I recall...." etc, etc, says Hilary's brain about a frillion times during Cloud Atlas) and until technology catches up which I'm sure it will eventually and quite frankly I can't figure out why we're not there yet except maybe we are and this is just a personal pet peeve I can't get over, which is my friend Edge's theory.
All in all, worth seeing.
