A visit to California that will cause hearts to pound and adrenaline to flow. Produced for IMAX theaters, this wild adventure ride takes the audience on a thrilling trek through the extremes of the state of California. Snowboarders challenge the state's gigantic mountains. Oceanographic photography captures otters and other sea in their native habitat. Skysurfers fly through the California clouds. Foresters investigate the interior of a massive, thirty-story high Sequoia tree. And the world's most sumptuous waves are surfed upon. The imagery is breathtaking, showing the diversity of the Golden State and filming it in incredible detail. The music is provided by Lindsay Buckingham. Hosted by Jimmy Smits. [More]

  • Adventures in Wild California will send you careening down an icy, steep mountain face with snowboarders; twirling on thermals above the clouds with skysurfers; swimming through the oceans with otters and their surrogate human mother; excavating the very heart of a thirty-story-tall Giant Sequoia with botanists and emerging from under the spray of one of the world's biggest surfable waves. The heart-pounding imagery recreates an experience of California's farthest edges that few will ever know first-hand. Narrated by Jimmy Smits ("NYPD Blue," "L.A. Law"); featuring music by Lindsey Buckingham. Ever wonder "how did they do that?" "The Making of 'Adventures in Wild California,'" shot on High-Definition Video, takes you behind the scenes.

    If you think you've been spoiled by the glorious 3D Imax - think again. This 2D production still has the awesome power to suck you in and send you reeling.

    Wild California seldom flags in energy, and there are moments of visual awe, heart-pounding exhiliration, and joy over the wonder and beauty of nature.
