A secret. An invitation to a new life. A better life. In another galaxy!

Blast into the Science Fiction section of Wētā Workshop Unleashed and land in a film studio where planning is underway for the film, Origins. Every film starts with a story. An idea becomes a treatment, a treatment a script, a script a storyboard, which becomes the basis for the filmmaker’s vision. All of this is part of pre-production. It’s the time to ask questions, explore every option and discover solutions, all before the first scene is shot. 

Models of the set are built and studied, everything is planned and refined to exacting detail. Explore the Director’s table explaining the 3D-printing process for the robot, and the tools and techniques required for its key element - the colossal animatronic hand. All of this is leading up to your big moment, stepping inside Origins. As the leading role in this adventure sci-fi film, you will join two scientists for a moment that is truly out of this world!

It’s time for lift-off as your guide invites you into a cavern hidden deep inside an ancient volcano. There you’ll find something that should not be there, in fact, it can’t be there!  An ancient robot. The world around you changes, as an intergalactic scene unfolds before your very eyes, you are taken on a journey to where your imagination explodes. You’ll find yourself with unexplainable real-life insight into what it would be like to stand right in the middle of your favourite sci-fi scenes.
