Simulation Theory
The IMAX film. A wider cinematic universe.
About the project
A concert film inside a science-fiction story.
Simulation Theory moves between the energy of a live Muse show and the tension of a science-fiction narrative. Scientists, anomalies, and alternate realities turn the concert into a cinematic world of its own.
Built for the scale of IMAX, the feature-length concert narrative was released in select cinemas worldwide. The live performance and the story become one continuous experience.
