'A Beautiful Planet' Trailer: Jennifer Lawrence Explores Space In New Film [VIDEO]
For a group of very lucky few astronauts, the ultimate view of Earth is from the International Space Station. For the rest of the world, there's the next best thing — the IMAX film A Beautiful Planet, which features the Earth shot from the space station's unique perspective.
The trailer for the movie debuts before it opens nationwide April 29, with narration by Jennifer Lawrence. Director Toni Myers incorporated stunning footage shot by the 2015 space crew.
Digital photography allowed never-before-possible perspectives of Earth, capturing low-light views of cities and lightning storms. Astronaut Kjell Lindgren captured shots of the aurora lights as the ISS passed over.
IMAX film in the past had been too slow to capture Planet visions of lightning storms, coral reefs by moonlight or the blazing lights of ever-growing cities filling up continents.
