Saw the trailer today and thought it might be OK - until it got to the sci-fi part. Oh dear!

I don't know, Raj - anything resembling an episode from Star Trek, Dr Who, etc, is instant alienation for me.

Currently reading the book and am at the "sci fi" bit, really intrigued! Fingers crossed I finish it before seeing the film (I keep reading it in chunks as I often receive review books in the post that have priority).

Was wondering the running time as I knew it was going to be longish. 172 minutes! Unless you are in China and then it's 38 minutes shorter.

Indeed so.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cloud-atlas-track-hit-100-418708 wrote: The film’s Chinese release was also dogged by the revelation that Dreams of the Dragon, which distributes the film in China, has cut 40 minutes of the 171-minute film to “adhere to censors’ regulations” as well as to appeal to local audiences looking for “a popcorn movie.”

Removed from the original are glimpses of nudity, as well as a [spoiler]brief scene involving a cyborg waitress in a cafe in 22nd century Korea having sex with her supervisor.[/spoiler]
Lousy fascists!!

You can print out whatever you want if that makes you feel better but as the Tastecard codes weren't the only ones for the screenings, this is an unenforceable request that I am confident enough you can ignore.

Like beate says there are a couple of codes so its not just tastecard who are promoting this preview. So you could had got your ticket from the other promoter? Plus if they did insist I will probably show the link you given on my smartphone as its online.
