I watched Submerged, Apple Vision Pro’s first immersive film. It’s a 17-minute thriller with depth

Apple's first scripted immersive movie launched today. It's exactly the type of experience I want from the future of spatial entertainment

Apple’s behind-the-scenes video for Submerged shows how much craft went into the filmmaking: the tight shots, moody lighting, and haunting sounds capture the sense of isolation and panic that come with being onboard a WWII submarine. I noticed the supporting actors trying to get some shuteye in bunk beds, creepy crawling bugs sneaking up the hull floor, and gushing water flooding my line of sight as I looked for a way out. Going beyond 2D, the Vision Pro offers a 3D glimpse at what WWII submarines looked like with a full roster of sailors, red lights and alarms going off, and gushing water filling every compartment.
