“Postcard From Earth” steeps you in a very loose 50-minute tale about life rising from the oceans onto the land, the birth of human civilizations and the moment, not so deep in the future, when humanity departs a despoiled Earth to settle other worlds — in the process recalling our home planet’s magnificence.
The Film screens at The Sphere In Vegas on October 6th 2023–It is a truly 4D movie production with surround sound, wind and smell simulation. Though it is family friendly there are some intense storm scenes with loud thunder and seat vibration.
