Swim with some of the planet’s most unique, dangerous and colorful creatures, from the unusual wolf eel to the giant Pacific octopus, in this fascinating undersea exploration narrated by actors Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet.

“Deep Sea” brings audiences face-to-face with these underwater inhabitants to witness their peculiar and amazing behaviors. Thrill to 6-foot long Humboldt squid, frogfish, basket stars, manta rays, jellyfish, ocean sunfish, a variety of prowling sharks and more.

The New York Post called “Deep Sea” “one of the more solidly entertaining deep-sea documentaries filmed in IMAX.” And The Detroit Free Press said, “If the typical IMAX offering has a handful of unforgettable shots, this one delivers about 50.”

“Deep Sea” was directed by world-renowned underwater cinematographer Howard Hall and features an original score by four-time Oscar nominee Danny Elfman.

Bask in all the beauty of America’s “inland seas” – and join scientists working to reintroduce an ancient species – in this excellent new IMAX film.

“Mysteries of the Great Lakes” is as much a celebration of Earth’s greatest freshwater ecosystem as it is a rallying cry for the lakes’ continued protection. The film explores the Great Lakes’ important role in our country’s social and economic vitality, while following scientists working to protect and restore some of the ecosystem’s native species, including bald eagles, woodland caribou and lake sturgeon.

Audiences are treated to soaring and breath-taking coastal scenery, haunting sunken ships and – powered by the Aquarium’s 10,000-watt, proprietary, digital surround sound system – the thundering spectacle of the Great Lakes’ most famous link, Niagara Falls.

With music by Gordon Lightfoot.

YES! The Maritime Aquarium will be showing Avatar in IMAX. James Cameron's latest mega-movie will be ever more awesome on our giant IMAX screen. IMAX stands for "image maximum."

In IMAX, richness of color, incredible magnification of detail, will show you Pandora as no cinemaplex can. Even if you saw the movie already, you will want to experience it in IMAX. We will be showing it in glorious, giant, 2-D.

Already nominated for 4 Golden Globe awards: best picture, best director, best original score and best original song. The Broadcast Film Critics Association has nominated Avatar for nine awards. As of January 4, the film surpassed $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales.

"Extraordinary! I felt the same as when I saw Star Wars," Roger Ebert.

Rated PG-13 for intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language and some smoking.
