I visited the Sphere, Las Vegas’ newest venue–It’s a bucket-list item

Las Vegas’ Sphere can take you there, and then to a few other galaxies along the way.Aside from being the newest piece of eye candy in the already fantastical Las Vegas skyline — pyramids, castles and ferris wheels, oh my! — the recently constructed orb is both a concert venue and an interactive exhibit that is a worth addition to any Sin City getaway itinerary.As casual fans may know, The Sphere is currently the home of U2’s months-long residency and will be hosting four back-to-back Phish concerts in April.

However, that’s not all the venue has to offer.In addition to the aforementioned shows, Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky’s “Postcard from Earth” can also be seen at The Sphere.On a recent visit to Las Vegas, we took in a visually sumptuous two-hour experience that included a self-guided tour through the atrium followed by Aronofsky’s film inside the dome.Here are our thoughts on the film.The story of ‘Postcard from Earth’ follows two astronauts of sorts, who we later learn are leaving a depleted Earth to colonize a new planet.

What follows is the story of creation, from early aquatic life all the way to the invention of religion and industry along with a few eye-popping shots of modern day life in populous cities like New York and Bangkok thrown in for good measure.“This is the first natural history kind of film or experience, whatever you want to call it, shot on all seven continents,” Aronofsky told the Post ahead of opening night. “We have shots from the Antarctic, from Australia, all over, all over the planet and in a resolution that no one’s ever seen before — I’m told it will be the first time people see HD images on the scale that it is.”The story itself we know all too well — climate change,.
