Now playing at the
Darling Harbour IMAX theatre is A Beautiful Planet in 3D. This astonishing
documentary takes us on a genuine space mission alongside astronauts as they
circle the Earth showing us our magnificent planet from the International Space
Station ISS. Narrated by Academy award winner Jennifer Lawrence and directed by
Toni Myers this film celebrates Earths beauty and also addresses its decay
caused by our human race via global warming.
The cinematography is
like nothing I have ever seen before, throughout the movie, its almost
impossible to believe that what you are seeing in the film is real and
untouched by CGI. We were taken on an adventure over the most wondrous places
on Earth from the massive deserts of Australia to the bright night lights of the
USA that look like stars on Earth. Seeing massive lightning storms from space
was my 7 year olds favourite bit.
We also saw the
devastation when passing over the rapidly melting ice sheets of Greenland and
the scarring of the Earths surface caused by the masses of deforestation in
South America. All along this tour of Earth we got a glimpse into the lives of
the astronauts on board the ISS, who gave us insights into their daily life and
inner workings of the space station, which was really interesting.
I absolutely loved this
experience in 3D, my 7 and 3 years old kids were locked to their seats
passive by this outstanding experience. This film is for all ages, its
fascinating, educational and awe inspiring.
The IMAX 3D experience
was a great way to see this film. Normally 3D films take you on a rollercoaster
of fancy editing and movement that often makes me queasy, but this film had a
calm but enjoyable rhythmic 3D sensation that I came out of the cinema visually
and emotionally satisfied, and with calm and inspired kids too!
