Fernbank Museum of Natural History will debut two new films in the IMAX Theatre on September 6, with the highly anticipated opening of Penguins and Hidden Universe. The films will play on Fernbank’s five-story, 72-foot-wide IMAX® screen, featuring stadium seating and surround sound digital audio.
Penguins
September
6, 2013-January 2, 2014*
Narrated by David Attenborough, Penguins is a live-action film that celebrates the destiny of a very special King Penguin, who returns to his birthplace in the sub-Antarctic. Known as Penguin City, the island is home to hundreds of albatrosses, fur seals and brawling elephant seals—as well as six million penguins.
Somehow
our hero must earn his place among the island inhabitants and fulfill
his destiny by finding a mate and raising a family. What follows is
the story of the most challenging time in a King Penguin’s life,
when he is driven to nurture and defend his offspring against harsh
weather and fierce predators. This heartwarming drama plays out in
one of Earth’s last great wildernesses, amid steep mountain ranges
and windblown plains half buried beneath snow and ice. “Penguins”
is an unforgettable tale of one King Penguin’s journey through his
species’ central rite of passage.
Hidden
Universe
September
6, 2013-January 2, 2014*
The

an extraordinary journey deep into space. With the full power of IMAX
cinematography, the deepest reaches of our universe are brought to
life with unprecedented clarity through real images captured by the
world’s most powerful telescopes—seen on screen for the first
time.
Stunning, high-resolution images of space allow moviegoers to explore the earliest galaxies, watch stars being born in vivid clouds of gas and dust, tour the surface of Mars, and witness images of distant celestial structures, including stunning views of the Sun.
