Science Fiction | Documentary

Overview

The 50-minute film begins with a sci-fi feel, as two characters land on a new planet via spaceship. While in their spacecraft, a voice begins to remind the duo about Earth, the land they left. Suddenly, pristine footage of the planet fills the 16K x 16K screen. The voiceover, which is used somewhat sporadically to allow the images to shine, describes the Earth as a “magnificent symphony frozen in time.” Postcard From Earth immaculately highlights the picturesque beauty of canyons, prairies, mountain ranges, and gorges. Aronofsky shot the film with an 18K Big Sky camera specifically for Sphere (Las Vegas).

Viewing Notes

While we were in Vegas we went to the show at The Sphere and saw this. The seating is incredibly steep which some people in our group had a serious problem with. No issues for me. The presentation is pretty immersive including rumble seats, directional sound and of course the massive screen.

There are some beautifully filmed moments in the movie but it feels weird to see a film about humans exhausting the natural resources of the earth in a place like Las Vegas. And the end is a little too melodramatic and hopeful for my tastes, not to mention the religious overtones. I’m glad I got to see it though!
