Poster is also claiming the Eiffel Tower no longer leans 😆 - clearly doesn't grasp how a curved screen works.On

On a can of Pepsi the logo looks perfect circular.

If you cut the can open and laid it flat, the logo is actually not round. The logo is made in such a way that it looks perfectly circular when viewed on the can.

With today’s technology I wonder If the images can be distorted in such a way they look correct when viewed on a curved screen?

It looks like they’re using new footage altogether of the Eiffel Tower, where you’re no longer approaching from the base and rising up it, but now coming in higher farther away and coming towards the tower. Still gonna bend but sounds like this could be less glaring. I would assume they’ve changed the pitch of the chairs to match the new approach

(photos taken from the linked reddit thread) it looks good!! the eiffel tower scene is also definitely changed, you approach it from a seemingly much wider angle, which makes it a lot less bendy. according to the reddit poster, they were sat in row 2 on the right side, so it seems to be a great improvement!

It’s not a question of technology; the image will always look distorted when not viewed head-on (though the issue is less obvious with certain kinds of footage).

So debuting today and it's already out of date with Celebration Garden ground lighting. A great way to memorialize what worked for a few months days.

FTFY. ;)

Can't wait to hear the first reports of the drunkards and other clowns yelling out inappropriate things during the finale. This also confirms what I thought when I first walked through the center spine at night - path lighting is inadequate.

So glad they fixed the Eiffel Tower! Now they need to fix the Taj Mahal and it’ll be perfect.

They didn't "fix" it, they used a different piece of footage that is less prone to the effects of a curved screen being viewed at various angles. What about the rest of the CGI scenes? Those get a pass?

At least the CGI generated Celebration Gardens ground lighting works in Sorin' movie! 🤣

No. The argument has been on here before!

It can only look perfect from one particular spot. There is only one image, you can't make every seat see a different image.

This is the example I used in a previous argument. Take a bowl and draw a black line in it from the top of one rim vertically down the inside through the centre of the bottom then up the other side. It will look straight if you view the bowl head on, looking directly at the bottom. Move your head to either side slightly and it will look curved. There is no way you can alter that straight line to make it look straight from all positions. If you could distort that straight line you've drawn, what shape would you distort it to make it look straight from all angles?

What you can do to miminise the problem is:

1. Film the movie such that vertical lines are not prominent.
2. Have a flat, not curved, screen (but that would sacrifice immersion).
3. Reduce the numbers of gliders horizontally.

Flight of Passage does 1 and 3, the distortion is still there if you're at the edges, but it's not noticed as much. Nothing to do with computer image manipulation.

I’m so glad someone else felt this way. Ever since the “new” area opened, I have felt it is way too dark and even the film reflects that. The Future World lighting was much brighter, or so I feel…

It only looks circular from one particular point, when you're looking at it straight on. Turn the can slightly and the logo is no longer circular.

Have you seen the chalk artists on the pavement in EPCOT? They draw the image so that it looks proper 3D when you're standing in one particular point. But viewed from anywhere else, it's horribly disorted.
