Six stories spanning almost 500 years, interwoven to create one compelling meditation on the nature of human existence, is both Cloud Atlas' ambition and accomplishment. It debuts next week on Blu-ray with a high definition presentation worthy of its cinematic spectacle, though an oddly limited set of bonus material suggests there might have been a more substantial release planned for store shelves.
