Ya, holy sh!t!!!! HYPE IS REAL. I know I tend to be hyperbolic, but this looks f'ing incredible. Just don't have an awful script and I can see this becoming a major must do at Universal Orlando, those screens are LEGIT.

 

[Viator]

It's so hard to tell the crowd being screens or not--that's a massive accomplishment.

Everything look's INSANE, as the blending of practical and digital for this show gets me excited.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I dunno should have been a Sing show or The Wal....

hahahahahaha

sorry couldn’t get through that

 

[WaterToWade]

Ok, I’m ten times more hyped that I ever was before, and I’ve been hyped about this from the beginning

That looks amazing.

Call me a pessimist but my hype level has dropped. Maybe it will look better from the audience. :shrug:

I'm already impressed

 

[belloq87]

It does appear that there are some fairly substantial setpieces that will be moved into and out of place over the course of the show, which is good to see.

 

[RFRees]

No goodies or surprise celebs from Today Show airing, but I did get a selfie with Peter Alexander and Al Roker.

Definitely worth missing for anyone who didn't attend.

It looks like you're going to have to sit close if you want the same framing you saw from the camera. The further back you are, the more you'll see the screen edges and it'll take away from it.

I'm looking forward to reviews. I think seating location will make a big difference on this one.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I've heard the sides are also two-layered screens that can turn on and off to show people inside buildings.

I PROMOSE Y'ALL FOR A QUARTER OF THAT FIGHTING SCENE I DIDNT KNOW THAT WAS A SCREEN:bigeye:

 

[darkridelover]

That screen blew me away. If they utilize it right, there's going to be some cool effects in this show.

This is also at the cutting edge of how movies and tv will be made in the years to come. The Mandalorian used Virtual Video walls for almost the entire production to great effect.

Okay I wasn't listening to the video fully cause I'm at work but.... are those crowd of guys not real... holy spaceballs if true I completely fell for that.

 

[GAcoaster]

Just heard from an "insider" the show is still being re-tooled to make it better, but so far it's hot garbage, which is the exact opposite of what I've heard here and other places.

Hoping for the best, but in the back of my mind I'm bracing for another disappointing Universal show...

When I watched it on the Today show this morning on my large HDTV I never gave it a second thought. I initially thought it was a real crowd. Not until I watched the video from the show here on my computer, after I read the comments that it was a screen crowd, was I aware it wasn't real. ...Fantastic.

 

[BBPH]

My exact thought there was wow that’s a lot of actors for a show, didn’t have a clue they were on the screen .

I think the effects are great. It might be the story that needs work?

As far as I know the marketing team was preparing for a March 12th grand opening, and the date was supposed to be announced on the Today show today... but, earlier this week I heard it has been postponed, and I have not heard a new date.

Some TMs are saying probably April.

Personally, for a stunt show, I think the effects and stunts are way more important than the story. I hope they're not over thinking things.

It's not like the T2 story made a lick of sense.
