Monsters in the “flesh” “come to life” as photo-realistic, computer-generated creatures in the IMAX movie “Sea Monsters, A Prehistoric Adventure.” Monsters appear life size on our six-story-tall screen in a film by National Geographic, funded in part by The National Science Foundation.

Age Appropriate?
The educational content in Sea Monsters has been developed by National Geographic for grades 3 and up. However, younger children do enjoy the film. There are a few startling scenes when giant sea monsters appear on the screen.

"Chicago Tribune" reviewer Michael Esposito wrote, "There are quite a few food fish and squid chomped (nothing very bloody), and the scavenging of a mortally wounded giant predator by a school of great white-sized sharks is kept off camera. There are a few moments when predators appear that might make little ones jump, but if they're into dinosaurs, these aquatic cousins aren't likely to scare them too much. A child old enough to watch "Shark Week" on cable television won't bat an eye here."

If you don't think your child would enjoy Sea Monsters, we suggest Tropical Rainforest.

April 28-30 / Noon & 2 p.m.

May 1-18 / Noon & 2 p.m.

“Tropical Rainforest” is a global film that examines the long evolution of the rainforests, the rapid and recent destruction of this habitat by humans, and the scientific efforts to understand the tropical rainforests even as they disappear.

The film captures the incredible diversity of species that have evolved throughout the long history of tropical biology – insects, gaudy frogs, exotic plants and flowers. Species have formed interdependent relationships, all of which are dependent on the trees. With the loss of the forests, thousands of these species will become extinct before they can be discovered.

Note: Appropiate for all ages.
