[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Journey into Amazing Caves is a visceral, suspenseful expedition with a new breed of scientists who boldly explore places once thought off-limits to human presence, let alone IMAX cameras. Join Dr. Hazel Barton and Nancy Aulenbach as they travel to unique and forbidding ice caves in Greenland, underwater caves in the Yucatan, terrestrial caves in the Grand Canyon and other spectacular locations. You will wriggle through tiny, twisting passages, swim through flooded underground vaults, drop into gleaming blue labyrinths of ice, and enter a world so extreme the microscopic creatures who live there are called extremophiles. For those compelled to push their limits in the world's most hostile environments, the risk of fatal danger and thrill of new discovery are the everyday factors that make cave exploration such an awe-inspiring experience. Narrated by Liam Neeson, with music by The Moody Blues.

    There are moments during Journey Into Amazing Caves when it seems the images on the screen could have been beamed back from a planet in another solar system.

    This movie managed to entertain and educate at the same time.

    Taking IMAX® cameras into these living underworlds proves an always bold, but not always successful venture.

    As educational and long in duration as a high school geology class but significantly more interesting.

    "Amazing" is the appropriate adjective to describe this latest IMAX film from MacGillivray Freeman Films.

    Sometimes breathtaking, sometimes wondrous, sometimes spiritual. Sweetly done!

    Like the huge face of Garbo in her silent work, the gorgeous landscapes of films such as Journey Into Amazing Caves loom over the viewer and hold an irresistible sway.
