3D, IMAX, Dolby Atmos and iSense: All of these technologies are intended to pull us even deeper into the worlds of blockbusters like Avatar 2: The Way of Water and Oppenheimer. If you want to be sure you’re getting the greatest cinematic experience possible, you’ll have to head to Las Vegas soon. There, the largest cinema in the world is currently getting its finishing touches – the so-called Sphere.

…take people away from the hustle and bustle of the Vegas strip in all its man-made madness and immerse them as fully as possible in the wonder, awe and beauty of the natural world.
The film Postcard from Earth is “a sci-fi journey into our future as our descendants reflect on our shared homeland.”
And when does it start? At the end of September, the band U2 opens the hall with a concert. The first film screening of Postcard from Earth is scheduled to take place on October 6, 2023.
