3D FILMS

FLIGHT OF THE BUTTERFLIES 3D

It’s a natural history epic. It’s a compelling detective story. It’s a scientific adventure at its best. It took Dr. Fred Urquhart almost 40 years to discover the monarch butterflies’ secret hideaway and prove the most incredible migration on Earth.

SHARKS 3D

Sharks 3D is a breathtaking new three-dimensional film experience that offers audiences a truly unique perspective on these amazing creatures. Come face-to-face with a multitude of shark species, including the Great White, Hammerhead, and Whale Shark. Witness them as they really are: not wicked man-eating beasts, but wild fascinating and endangered animals that have been in existence a million years before dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

 WILD OCEAN 3D

Wild Ocean 3D is an explosive, symphonic giant screen film about man and nature that captures one of the world’s greatest spectacles. Each year a massive feeding frenzy takes place in the oceans of South Africa as billions of fish migrate up the KwaZulu-Natal Wild Coast. Breaching whales, frenzied sharks, herding dolphins, and diving gannets compete in an epic underwater struggle for survival. Wild Ocean 3D is produced by the creators of the international sensation STOMP and directors of the award-winning giant screen film Pulse: a STOMP Odyssey.

THE LAST REEF 3D

The Last Reef: Cities Beneath The Sea, is an uplifting giant screen journey exploring the beauty and mysteries of the world's reef ecosystems: a distant yet parallel world, with living cities undeniably connected to our own human communities. Vanishing at five times the rate of rain forests, the world’s coral reefs are under siege. Through vivid 3D visuals, music and narration, the film reveals the teeming life of these underwater cities, and their crucial role in the ocean’s survival—and our own. Fly across iridescent tropical corals, brush through a cloud of a million jellyfish, visit an alien world where the closer you look, the more you see, where the tiniest creatures support the greatest predators. As these ancient, exotic havens face the threat of extinction, The Last Reef inspires audiences with a vision of the reef’s incredible—yet fragile—power to rebuild.

BUGS!: A RAINFOREST ADVENTURE 3D

Bugs! is a live-action nature drama filmed in awe inspiring, totally immersive 3D. Shot on location in Borneo and in a purpose-built studio in Oxford, England, Bugs! explores the dramatic and savage lives of an Old World praying mantis and a beautiful butterfly, known by their Latin names, Hierodula and Papilio. This 40-minute feature combines incredible footage with cutting-edge technology to deliver a fantastically entertaining and enlightening experience about the little guys in life.
 

 A TURTLE'S TALE: ESCAPE FROM PARADISE 3D
Opens May 25

A Turtle's Tale: Escape From Paradise follows the adventures of two sea turtles, Sammy and Ray, in a funny and fast‐paced 3D adventure. Snatched off the beach by animal hunters, these two friends find themselves trapped in an underwater ocean display filled with all sorts of colorful characters. Despite the beauty of this artificial paradise, getting out is on everyone's mind: our two turtles especially long for home and to be reunited with their grandchildren. But first they have to get past the local mafia headed by Big D, a power‐hungry sea horse, and his moray eel henchmen. With the help of some unlikely friends, our two heroes discover that when you work together, anything is possible.
