Imagine stepping 50 years into the future and finding smart cities designed to be totally sustainable. Renewable energy is our primary power source, space-based solar power provides energy 24 hours a day, everything is recycled, and you have your own pod that runs on maglev trains using little or no energy. You can also ride an electric flying vehicle! Traffic jams are a thing of the past. This isn't science fiction. Engineers are making plans for a sustainable world right now. This 40-minute film premieres at Giant Screen Experience on February 16, with select showtimes playing in 3D. More details.
