Postcard From Earth

Curiously, has anyone seen this documentary film from 2023, "Postcard From Earth", popular show at the Sphere in Las Vegas?

I saw it a couple days back, just got back from Vegas. There is amazing storytelling and visuals, the special effects were spectacular, and the realism of it could be felt with the sound vibrating and air blowing throughout the entire interior of the theater. It has the 3D feel of actually being there in every scene, like the fictional Rekall technology in Total Recall (1990), where they advertise it as "cheaper, safer, and better than the real thing", which this, in a way, was. It may be scary for some, sitting on a steep balcony while all that rumbling and air blowing goes on, but definitely a worthwhile firsthand experience of Earth's history and present.

I'd like to.

Last time I was in Vegas we saw them building the metal frame for the sphere. Would love to go back and do something there.
