I've noticed that main characters are being followed, then killed off without a satisfying solution to their story line, and other characters are left simply hanging and seemingly abandoned. I suspect all of these seemingly random episodes will be tied together and explained when the story moves into the future. Right now I'm enjoying the ride. It feels much like the first time I saw
The Matrix
and about a half-hour into the movie found myself thinking that nothing made sense. Of course, it all did, and I must have watched that opening sequence a dozen times since hoping to recover that sense of wow that tying all those disparate elements together gave me. That's the kind of wrap-up I'm anticipating with
Cloud Atlas
.
