IMAX® Great Bear Rainforest

Great Bear Rainforest tells the story of one of the rarest animals on Earth — the fabled all-white Spirit Bear — and its ancient forest home. Hidden from the outside world, the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the planet’s most exquisite and secluded wildernesses. Found on Canada’s rugged Pacific coast, it is the largest temperate coastal rainforest in the world and is home to indigenous First Nations peoples, who have provided stewardship of the forest for millennia.

Embark on a remarkable journey into a land of grizzlies, coastal wolves, sea otters, and humpback whales — and discover the secret world of the Spirit Bear. Narrated by Ryan Reynolds.
