Spoiler Alert. I'm about to spoil you.
The feature film Cloud Atlas has no point. The preview, I thought, implied that all of these different (or same?) people living in different ages (or different universes?) realized that something (someone?) was controlling things and...
Well no. They don't seem to realize anything. Cloud Atlas is basically The Matrix, except for all of the parts where Neo or anyone else wakes up from the Matrix. It is basically about The Matrix, except no one realizes it and Hugo Weaving just creeps some people out.
One interesting thing I noticed, though, was that many of the characters switched sides between good and evil (or maybe good and neutral in the case of Keith David), Hugo Weaving's character is always evil, and Halle Berry is always good. In a way they act as poles of the conflict.
Unfortunately, wikipedia doesn't mention this so it must be unintentional. According to wikipedia, the plot has something to do with turning Tom Hank's soul from a killer into a not a killer over time, except that, chronologically, in the second to last story he is still a killer.
Fun to watch though.
