Narrated by Donald Sutherland, this fascinating film focuses on the history, evolution and extinction of the dinosaurs. In larger-than-life fashion as only IMAX® can, you will explore a subject matter whose mystique and appeal are unquestioned.  Dinosaurs are amongst the most fascinating animals to have ever walked the Earth. We are captivated by their enormous size and intrigued by the fact that they disappeared millions of years ago. Take an unprecedented and unique journey into the world of the largest known dinosaurs and, in the process, explore some of the great paleontological discoveries of modern time. Done in close collaboration with the foremost scientists of the domain, the movie will show never seen before computer generated footage of the Giganotosaurus and the Argentinosaurus to name a few.
