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.

Unbelievable images as if you are flying the earth This could only work at the sphere. It is an EXPERIENCE.

If you go in expecting a "movie" you be slightly disappointed. Although it kinda has a story, it is more conceptual sci-if fantasy that's really pulled together by the absolutely amazing images, the sound system, the seating, and the fullness of the "screen".

You will look in all directions and be amazed. This isn't a spoiler review because I am not giving away the "plot".

Sit back and enjoy the ride. Just being at the sphere outside is amazing. If you add that end it's definitely a must-do.

So yes, the images that are used after the first five minutes or so and the picture stretches to fill Spheres screen are stunning at first, but there is nothing to hold the film together: the voiceover is just babble and the two 'actors' are like escapees from a deodorant advert. David Attenborough has been doing something similar on a far smaller budget for the last 50 years.

Go and see it if you're in Vegas to see something on this vast screen but any future films made for screening here need to find someone who can match the images with a storyline and characters that are worth investing time in.

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-
