A few weeks ago I saw the movie Cloud Atlas. I thought it was a great movie that really capitalized on the versatility of actors. The movie displayed landmark performances from several up and coming actors, and already popular actors. This also had the highest budget of any independent film to date. This goes to show the new emergence of independent films as competition for large studio films. One remarkable aspect of this film is the use of special effects and makeup to transform the actors into completely different characters. Some actors even had up to five or six roles throughout the movie, eliminating the need for a wide range of actors. This allows more characters to be played by great actors, and really showcases how good of actors they really are. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone that enjoys challenging and complex plot lines along with amazing special effects.
