The Alps

Grand Canyon Adventure

River at Risk

Don't miss the exhilarating river-rafting action on America's most iconic river in our latest IMAX feature film. This unique film combines breath-taking giant screen images capturing the grandeur of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River with a truly inspiring story about conservation and survival the world needs to hear - right now.

"A river trip is one of those amazing life events where you're ripped out of your daily routine and inspired to see the world in new ways. With IMAX images we're able to put the audience even more into the action and let them participate in every twist and turn." says producer/director Greg MacGillivray.

Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk shows how ordinary people can make a difference for our parched planet and help prevent life-threatening water shortages and droughts. Follow this amazing expedition led by two environmental heroes - world-renowned river advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and celebrated anthropologist Wade Davis - as they float through the massive canyons and crash through raging rapids, accompanied by their teenage daughters and a Native guide.

Witness what these explorers discover when they compare 3D photographs - taken by Jack Hillers while on a previous expedition in 1872 - and find the landscape dramatically changed, altered by excessive and inefficient use.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recalls going down the Colorado with his father, seeing wide sandy banks and animals that have long since vanished. "My hope is that seeing Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk will remind the world that restoring our waterways and conserving fresh water are important, not just in developing nations but here at home. The quality and survival of our civilization will depend on it."

Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk is narrated by Oscar winner, Robert Redford, with a stirring score featuring songs and music from the Grammy Award® -winning Dave Matthews Band.

"(Greg MacGillivray's) work is rightly considered the gold standard for nature photography…an outstanding example of what can be accomplished in large-format documentaries." Boston Daily News Transcript

"Hang on! This movie isn't for sissies…you'll likely feel your pulse quicken when you're swept through whitewater rapids on the Colorado…this is an adventure that is anything but dry." Quod City Times (Davenport, Iowa)

Under the Sea

Under the Sea

This new film takes you into fascinating underwater locales such as the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Triangle for face-to-face encounters with some of the most mysterious and stunning creatures of the sea.

Filmed with the incomparable scope and clarity of IMAX technology, UNDER THE SEA offers an intimate look into an underwater world few people have ever seen and the exquisitely beautiful, sometimes treacherous and often comical creatures that live there. The daily dramas of such characters as the flamboyant cuttlefish, leafy sea dragons and giant stingrays, are played out amongst some of the most exotic and isolated undersea locations on Earth.

UNDER THE SEA is an inspirational and entertaining way to explore the unique beauty of this rarely seen realm and realize the impact that global climate change is having on the oceanic wilderness.

Warner Bros. Pictures and IMAX Corporation present UNDER THE SEA, an underwater documentary adventure narrated by Jim Carrey. LG Film Series.
