A movie or film was a popular entertainment medium on Earth, featuring moving images displayed on a screen.

Overview[]

Movies typically lasted between one and three hours and told stand-alone stories, though exceptions such as the Star Wars trilogy existed. They were often premiered in special theaters with large screens and speakers placed around the audience.

John Crichton frequently made references to movies and other Earth pop culture in his speech, much to the confusion of his non-Terran friends and enemies alike.

A number of gimmicks to enhance the movie-viewing experience have been attempted with varying success. Some movies were filmed in a way to give the illusion of being in 3-D if the viewer wore special glasses. Smell-O-Vision was a system that released odors into the theater during a showing, which did not catch on. Sensurround was a form of enhanced sound design for movie theaters. Crichton referred to all of the above when he said "It's going to be more real than real. It's going to be super 3-D Smell-O-Vision in Sensurround" to explain his plan to fool Varla into thinking a Peacekeeper command carrier was coming after Moya.[1]

A drive-in movie theater was an open field with a projection screen set up at one end, designed to accommodate people viewing from parked vehicles. Crichton imagined viewing the Three Stooges footage from Neeyala's position recorder and memories of a Stooges film in a drive-in theater with Harvey.[2]
