Postcard from Earth

"Postcard from Earth" isn't just a movie; it's a sensory immersion designed to showcase the mind-blowing capabilities of the Las Vegas Sphere. While the film's opening moments felt a touch slow and perhaps a little abstract, it quickly blossoms into a breathtaking visual journey. Once the Sphere's immersive potential is fully unleashed, the experience is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The film itself, a celebration of our planet's natural wonders, is beautifully crafted, but let's be honest: the Sphere is the true star. The sheer scale, clarity, and enveloping nature of the visuals create an experience that transcends traditional cinema. It's a technological marvel, a testament to human ingenuity. "Postcard from Earth" is a worthy vehicle for this groundbreaking venue, and while the film is enjoyable, the Sphere itself is an absolute must-see, a glimpse into the future of entertainment. Prepare to have your perceptions of visual media completely redefined.

There's nothing quite like going to the gaudiest city in the world and entering the brightest building in the world, an electronic marvel costing north of $3 billion, and then getting lectured on how humans have ruined the pristine Earth. Beautiful images on the sphere surface for half of this 50 minute "film" and then 25 minutes of lecturing us on how we should just leave the Earth.

Reminded me a lot of the climate change activists that fly private jets across the world to tell me why I shouldn't drive a gas car.

However the Sphere itself was incredible, inside and out, and the nature scenes were absolutely incredible.

Very Creative, Visually Outstanding. Awesome Experience. Narration was not needed. Another Ideology driven Docudrama meant to make you feel guilty. The Sphere is the most state of the art, advanced theater on the planet and this is what is chosen? For $200 and a seat in the Sphere, I better be Entertained and not to be made guilty about our human existence on how our planet turned out. The first few minutes were worth it definitely. Then the guilt trip narrative started to play on your emotional heart strings. Enough is Enough. The Sphere needs to Entertain, not guilt trip its audience. Wake up MGM!

While the narrative might lack engagement, *Postcard From Earth* compensates generously through an overwhelming, visually arresting spectacle that unfolds on the most enormous scale possible.

For the most part, the imagery of *Postcard from Earth* is quite simple, encapsulating vast landscapes, along with footage of both animals and humans. The Sphere's immense screen, enveloping over 180 degrees of the auditorium and boasting a startling 16K resolution, elevates these images to another level. The visual experience extends beyond conventional boundaries, offering an overwhelming and enthralling cinematic immersion.

The pinnacle moment of *Postcard From Earth* arrives when the screen expands from a standard cinema screen size to 160 square feet, provoking audible gasps from the audience, including myself. The scale achieved at this juncture is nothing short of jaw-dropping, creating a unique cinematic moment that remains etched in my memory.

While the film excels in its overall visual impact, there are sporadic instances where specific special effects are unconvincing. This may be due to a higher frame rate than a conventional film. Nevertheless, these CGI shots are infrequent and do not significantly diminish the film's overall visual grandeur.

As I couldn't go to The Sphere in Las Vegas to see it I had a partial experience watching in it on youtube where some posters did put all the experience. An experimental movie for viewing in 270º 4D experience shoot in 18k (note: understate 4D as interactive) showing evolution of live in Earth.

Not very innovative as there is more than one movie with these theme for special environments for watching, but very well done as expected by Darren Aronofsky, but not as innovative as I would expect.

Similar to watch Qatsy trilogy. I would score without the interactive experience as a 8.0 out of 10.0 movie / A-
