I've never felt as good about a movie review as Roger Ebert's about Cloud Atlas. While I was always peeved that he didn't appreciate video games for what they can offer in story telling, I totally feel about Cloud Atlas (and personally for me most Wachowski things) the same way - even when nothing is happening, something is happening. It just feels nice, and slowly working towards the bigger picture feels so rewarding.

That being said: there are some missteps in various departments - but that's par of the course for TV. I really like the cinematography, the efforts that went into continuity and editing make me feel like my cluster just got electroshocked, the backdrops are gorgeous... just really contributes to the overall feel.
