Wild Ocean 3D Opens Friday
Wild Ocean 3D is opening this Friday at the IMAX Theatre. It’s an action-packed documentary exploring the interplay between man and our endangered ocean ecosystem. The film highlights one of nature’s greatest migration spectacles, plunging viewers into an underwater feeding frenzy, an epic struggle for survival where whales, sharks, dolphins, seals, gannets and billions of fish collide with the most voracious sea predator, mankind. Filmed off the Wild Coast of South Africa and set to the rhythm of the local people, Wild Ocean reveals the economic and cultural impact of the ocean while celebrating the communal efforts to protect our invaluable marine resources.
While Wild Ocean explores the causes and effects of man’s impact, it is an inspirational film looking toward a bright future, taking audiences to a rare unspoiled marine wilderness to glimpse what the oceans of the world once looked like. The film champions the creation of marine reserves necessary to bring our oceans back to life. South Africa currently leads the way in this effort.

Sounds like a great film. I hate that Imax (especially now that Exploris turned into Marbles) won’t show these types of films in prime-time anymore….only mornings and early afternoons. Makes it more difficult to see them.

Am I the only one who feels like I just read an ad? Dana, this seems “sponsored by IMAX” not inspired by an interest in Raleigh or what is going on? How about the fact that Marbles gets public funding to show things like U2 in 3D?

It is an edit of the press release. I wouldn’t have put it up, though, if I didn’t think it was interesting. Like with Raleighing, I don’t take any sponsor money. This is a hobby effort completely funded out of my back pocket.
