'Cloud Atlas'

Thus spake Sonmi-451, a Fabricant, one of many identical cloned slaves in the post-eco-apocalyptic future depicted in "Cloud Atlas," the phenomenal new film codirected by Lana and Andy Wachowski of "The Matrix" and Tom Tykwer of "Run Lola Run."

The weight of ingrained impulses — karma — becomes blind destiny. Unless we break out of it.
