The rectangle gets slowly sliced into 3x3 pieces with yellow sparking lasers and, when it's done, explode into a blue circular flash, which brings forth a series of {{color|gold}} bars flying towards the screen at an angle. They eventually form a theater hallway with the ocean turning into a black floor, and a {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} screen quickly zooms in as the "{{color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text starts animating as usual. | ||

The camera goes up into space, eventually panning up to reveal the source of the light; a star (positioned near the top center of the screen) that gets brighter and brighter, and eventually explodes in a {{color|orangered|scarlet}} and blue gemstone-shaped flash, leaving behind a shiny chrome model monolith.
