This summer in Fort Worth, a new nature film won’t just show you the planet — it will place you smack-dab in the middle of it.
On July 27, inside the newly rebuilt Jane & John Justin Foundation Omni Theater at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, “A Vision for Tomorrow” will make its Texas debut. Created by Arcadia Earth — the team behind boundary-pushing environmental exhibits in New York and Las Vegas — the 360-degree immersive film doesn’t play on a screen. It plays all around you.
The show takes place inside the Jane & John Justin Foundation Omni Theater, now home to the largest LED dome ever installed in a museum. Rather than watching a film, audiences are surrounded by it — plunged into a world of swirling soundscapes, ultra-high-definition visuals, and enveloping color. There are no flat screens here. No passive viewing. When the canopy of a rainforest rises above you or the surface of the ocean glows beneath your feet, it will feel as though the theater itself is breathing.
The film unfolds in three sweeping chapters — Trees, Air, and Water — each focused on a vital piece of Earth’s delicate balance, according to a release. The forest segment, produced in partnership with American Forests, explores the role of trees in carbon capture and biodiversity. The second chapter tackles air pollution and the need for cleaner skies. The final segment dives into the global water crisis, created in collaboration with Water Mission, a nonprofit that engineers clean water systems in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.
The tone is not alarmist, but it is urgent. Each chapter closes with a call to action and a QR code, connecting viewers directly to conservation nonprofits making a difference on the ground. The goal is to turn awe into action, right from your seat.
Arcadia Earth, known for transforming complex environmental data into emotionally resonant storytelling, sees “A Vision for Tomorrow” as more than a film. It’s a new model for environmental education — one where immersive technology meets personal responsibility.
“A Vision for Tomorrow” will be shown on July 27, August 3, August 10, August 14, August 15, and August 17, with two screenings each evening at 5:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $34 for adults and $18 for children.
“We’re looking forward to adding another immersive experience to the Omni Theater’s lineup,” says Jeremiah Dombach, the theater’s director. “Films like ‘A Vision for Tomorrow’ fully utilize our cutting-edge technology and showcase the capabilities of the dome — all while creating new unforgettable experiences that people crave.”
