Narrated by Academy Award nominee Leonardo DiCaprio, Hubble explores the space telescope's legacy and profound impact on astronomy. One of NASA's longest and most successful science missions, the telescope has transmitted hundreds of thousands of images back to Earth, helping scientists tackle questions ranging from the age of the universe and the identity of quasars to the nature of dark energy. Hubble movie-goers are offered a first-hand view of the final NASA visit to the telescope as IMAX cameras document the May 2009 servicing flight by the space shuttle Atlantis. During the mission, astronauts conducted five spacewalks in order to install two new instruments and repair two others, extending the telescope's life until at least 2014. Produced by IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures in cooperation with NASA, Hubble blasts off exclusively in IMAX theaters on Friday, March 19.
Roving Mars Mon.-Thur.: 1:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. Fri.: 5:00 p.m. Sat.:11:00 a.m., 5:00 p.m. Sun.: 11:00 a.m. Watch the thrilling story of the Mars rovers unfold on the giant screen in this remarkable journey to the surface of the Red Planet. Roving Mars chronicles the design, launch, and successful landings of NASA's robotic Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity. Offering unprecedented visuals and amazing computer-animated depictions of the rovers' arrival on the Martian surface, the film dramatically portrays the considerable obstacles NASA faced in the launching and landing the rovers on time and within budget. Viewers witness first hand the highly skilled engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory as they address each challenge and possible contingency, the tension escalating as touchdown draws near. Ultimately, of course, Spirit andOpportunity far exceed their mission expectations, becoming one of NASA's most triumphant achievements. Greatly outlasting their life expectancy of 90 days, the rovers continue six years later to scan the surface of Mars, sending valuable data and spectacular images back to Earth. Winner of the 2008 National Academy of Sciences award for best science film, Roving Mars was produced by Academy Award-nominee Frank Marshall and features narration by Academy Award-winner Paul Newman.
Mon.-Thur.: 11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m. Fri.-Sat.: 1:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. Sun.: 1:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m. Dive beneath the ocean's surface to witness some of the most unique, dangerous, and colorful creatures on the planet. Narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, Deep Sea is an immersive, underwater OMNIMAX adventure featuring never-before-seen, up-close encounters with a wide range of exotic undersea life, from the unusual Wolf Eel, to the ominous Giant Pacific Octopus, to the bizarre Rainbow Nudibranch. Audiences will be introduced to a colorful cast of characters and observe at arm's length these creatures living out their lives in a variety of unique and often humorous relationships... some predatory, some symbiotic, yet all ultimately dependent upon one another for survival. From the Mantis Shrimp—who engages in a one-on-one, matador-like challenge with a threatening octopus—to the Green Sea Turtle—who allows schools of fish aestheticians to clean its shell of unwanted algae—Deep Sea focuses on the remarkable and often surprising alliances struck between some of the world's most unusual creatures.
Mon.-Tue. & Thur: 2:00 p.m. Wed.: Noon, 2:00 p.m. Fri.: 3:00 p.m. Sat.-Sun.: Noon, 3:00 p.m. Dinosaurs Alive is a global adventure of science and discovery featuring the earliest dinosaurs of the Triassic Period to the monsters of the Cretaceous Period "reincarnated" life-sized for the giant screen. Narrated by Michael Douglas, the film uses state-of-the-art CGI to bring dinosaurs, their behaviors, and their ancient environments to life. Viewers witness dinosaurs locked in mortal combat, nesting in colonies, protecting their young, and facing catastrophic forces of nature. Interwoven throughout the film is a real-life scientific adventure that looks at the field of paleontology and the finds that have revolutionized our understanding of these creatures that once dominated the Earth. Audiences watch as the work of recent expeditions to Mongolia's fossil-rich Gobi Desert is juxtaposed against fascinating 1920s archival footage of paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews -- a larger-than-life adventurer believed to be the inspiration for the Indiana Jones character. Also highlighted are the breakthrough discoveries taking place under the towering red sandstone buttes and rock chimneys of northern New Mexico's Ghost Ranch. Here, erosion has revealed rock layers containing remains that stretch back some 220 million years. For young paleontologists, Dinosaurs Alive is sure to spark imaginings of what mysteries still lie buried beneath our feet.
Adrenaline Rush: The Science of Risk Fri. & Sat.: 8:00 p.m.
Experience the electrifying thrills of risk taking on the giant screen in Adrenaline Rush: The Science of Risk. From the soaring and breathtaking cliffs of Norway to the calm and inspiring immensity of the Mojave Desert, from a child’s daunting first day of school to the exciting world of skydiving and base jumping, Adrenaline Rush explores the psychological and physiological forces behind risk taking and the physics involved in high-risk activities. Adrenaline Rush examines why the human mind and body crave danger as viewers experience breathtaking views of skydiving over the Florida Keys and a 4,265-foot jump from a legendary Norwegian cliff. The film also follows skydivers as they prepare to undertake a unique scientific experiment: trying to fly the parachute imagined in 1485 by Leonardo da Vinci, the first parachute design ever recorded.
