Dive beneath the ocean's surface to witness some of the most unique, dangerous, and colorful creatures on the planet. 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 and 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.

From the exotic, trackless expanses and sand dunes of Mongolia's Gobi Desert to the dramatic sandstone buttes of New Mexico, the film follows American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) paleontologists as they explore some of the greatest dinosaur finds in history. Through the magic of scientifically accurate computer-generated animation, these newly discovered creatures, and some familiar favorites, come alive... in a big way!

Journey through distant galaxies to explore the grandeur and mysteries of our celestial surroundings in this inspiring and unique look at the Hubble Space Telescope. 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.

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 craves 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.
