The drums with the countdown at the beginning was spectacular. Also, I want that LED screen that was used on the stadium floor.
What shocked me was the show involving the typesetting characters moving up and down. I was amazed at what I thought was an incredible engineering feat, with synchronized movements all choreographed to music. Then I was stunned to see that they were all human performers. Insane.
Yeah, I doubt any future opening ceremony is going to top this. When $300 million goes into a show, with 15K performers, it'll be quite the effort to even begin to think how to exceed this.
Truly an amazing spectacle tonight. I was glad to be part of the global audience.
