    A First of Its Kind Experience

    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.

    Like the Qatsy Experience

    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-

    $200?

    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!

    Stunning images, terrible structure

    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.

    Breathtaking visuals, no need for Adam and Eve

    The nature and bustling city visuals were captivating when presented on a screen like that of the Las Vegas Sphere, but there was no need for the science fiction meets global warming Adam and Eve Genesis plot.

    I would have been completely happy just watching scenes of the world and its people without the hypocritical climate change narrative and biblical undertone.

    The music was well curated for each scene, and it was truly an experience seeing a film in the Sphere; however, combining a politically charged message with a biblical allegory just doesn't sit right with an audience of people in Sin City.

    • Trivia
      The film was shot with an 18K resolution camera, and plays back at 60 frames per second. In terms of data, the film is about half a petabyte in size, which is roughly 500 terabytes. That means viewers are able to observe 32 gigabytes of data per second, or nearly 2,000 gigabytes per minute.
    • Crazy credits
      Since this movie is shown at 18k in the Las Vegas Sphere, it is able to show all the approximately 2000 crew members credits all at once, legible to the audience, taking up a large portion of the dome screen.
