The shadowy place confirms there will be no AAs.
Very unfortunate.

This came up in response to a poster (no disrespect!) criticising the queue for having nothing that would suggest it was a Marvel attraction. So, I can kind of see how they have gone with a more restrained aesthetic to fit the park but added this to reassure people that they are going on a fun attraction based on Guardians of the Galaxy. In that context, it doesn't seem like a terrible choice.
Where did the money go?

Hard to believe they spent that much money on an attraction that doesn't have any AAs.
It means the attraction must rely heavily, if not exclusively, on screens, which means it will likely be a disappointment at best for me.
I do wonder if that solely refers to the attraction itself or if it includes the queue/preshows, though -- I was hoping there would at least be one in a preshow, but sounds like they could be entirely screen-based as well.

The Nova Starblaster can, in fact, travel to Mars. Spared no expense.

As someone else said above, though, seems like they could have done it without being so in your face about it -- it takes up the entire projection screen at one point.
Either way, it's minor. My main disappointment is that the projection is less impressive than what I could get at a planetarium. Again, though, it's just the queue. It's not like it's the attraction itself.

Can it create one of those forcefields as well? Built in crowd management!

Ok, with all the controversy already surrounding this first room of the queue, lets compare a "classic" epcot queue with the galaxarium:
Horizons:
Cosmic Rewind:
It won't be the most popular opinion in the room, but they honestly share a lot in common. Only differences are quality of video and a few more colors used in Horizons. Considering how short the very front of Energy is, I'm expecting this to be a smaller space than it looks. I might be wrong though.
Now, I'm not a fan of every single queue in EPCOT being purely blue lights. We need some variety in that department.

Remember, the Guardians queue was meant to be built by an alien civilization to showcase their advanced society. There's a LOT an imaginative design team could do with that. And this is what we've got.

This is just getting ridiculous. We have to keep in mind the constraints this team was working under. They had more money than anyone else has ever had available for building a roller coaster. Nearly half a billion dollars only goes so far and you have to stretch it.

But this is an "Other World Showcase" pavilion. Why would it be aesthetically linked to other World Discovery pavilions? Is Test Track meant to be a showcase for an alien civilization?This is the correct answer

Wait, so the ceiling-screen room is followed by a long series of ramps through an entirely unthemed area? I honestly didn't expect that.

I think everything in that video is still in the "galaxarium" -- I don't think it shows anything past it.
