After a long day in front of my laptop, I spent some more time with said laptop, this time watching a movie. I bought the DVD of Cloud Atlas a few months ago, but I never had the time to watch it&#8230; until now.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5947\" src=\"https:\/\/spinor.info\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/cloud-atlas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"268\" height=\"123\" \/>All I can say is&#8230; Wow. If you give this movie the attention it deserves, it is immensely rewarding. Cinematic science fiction at its absolute best. A movie that borrows some elements from other works, e.g., Kubrick&#8217;s 2001 Space Odyssey, or Soylent Green, or The Fifth Element&#8230; but it is an absolutely original, astounding tale or rather, six interwoven tales set in the past, present and future, forming a true cautionary tale in the best traditions of classic science-fiction.<\/p>\n<p>I know I&#8217;ll watch this movie again&#8230; probably many times. For me, it&#8217;s going to be one of those movies that will stay with me for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<p>Oh&#8230; and the movie should have received an award, if only there was one, for the most creative cinematic use of a cat. I laughed so hard, I almost had an unfortunate accident involving pants and other unmentionables.<\/p>\n<fb:like href='https:\/\/spinor.info\/weblog\/?p=5946' send='true' layout='standard' show_faces='true' width='450' height='65' action='like' colorscheme='light' font='lucida grande'><\/fb:like>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here I am, sitting in a hotel room in the 21st century city of Abu Dhabi.
