Postcard from Earth

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.

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-

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.

You get more flies with honey than vinegar, but this film is determined to ruin your day... but don't worry the rich will be able to leave to a new world to wreck so that Earth can be returned to an untouched vista in which (you guessed it) the rich can vacation without all those pesky poor people crowding it. I certainly think it was unintentional to show the problem of the world only being 3rd world decay, but rarely are people in business suits seen as the problem (when the rich elite almost certainly consume much more). I'm used to heavy handed messages in nature docs, basically "look how beautiful, don't you want to save it", but Postcards from Earth's solution is leave the wrecked Earth and let it recover without us, rather than learning to live with it. On a giant Sphere screen, nobody really wants to view a full 1/3rd of a film where we get to see poor people picking oranges, poor people living in urban hellscape (with planes flying loudly overhead and nobody looks too happy to be involved with this expensive vision). The audience OOOOOs and AHHHHHs at previous few moments of nature shown, but the depressing message is hammered home over and over. There truly isn't such a thing as subtlety in film anymore. I think the film needed to go one way or the other: either a feel good Disney Nature film with a "save this place" message -or- a downer film where science talks about the harsh reality... but this film is neither. It's bleak, but the solutions of dropping a seed and instantly terraforming a planet is sublimely stupid. And if this solution is possible, why would anyone need to preserve the Earth and leave at all? Just drop a seed every few years and start again when the planet dies? The film ignores responsibility for an easy answer. Is it really ECO for a single couple to travel space? Shouldn't there be a lot more people? Where are all the poor people? Did you leave them on Earth? And in what universe would everybody "leave voluntarily"? Have you met any confederate people from the south? Or a New Yorker. No way they're leaving their hellhole. The film should have been brighter and with more fun, a message is fine, but how about a realistic one?
