A man sets out to photograph UFOs in a scientifically verifiable manner only to get more than he bargained for. Shot by acclaimed visual effects master Douglas Trumbull in a new process called MAGI, 4K 3D at 120 frames per second, to create a powerful sense of immersion previously unseen in cinema.
Fantasies become nightmares and dreams become reality in the spellbinding story of a young boy and his family.
In Search of the Obelisk is the first part of a three part interactive 'show' that played at the Luxor Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. In Search of the Obelisk is a short film in which a team of intrepid archaeologists discover an ancient pyramid in the Nevada Desert and discover massive caverns filled with advanced alien technology, which then morphs into an interactive film experience, where the characters talk to the audience in real time as the first motion control 'ride' begins.
In a future Earth barren of all flora and fauna, the planet's ecosystems exist only in large pods attached to spacecraft. When word comes in that the pods are to be jettisoned into space and destroyed so that the spacecraft can be reused for commercial purposes, most of the crew of the Valley Forge rejoice at the prospect of going home. Not so for botanist Freeman Lowell who loves the forest and its creatures, so decides to take matters into his own hands to protect what he loves.
