IMAX® PREHISTORIC PLANET

Spin back in time to an extraordinary prehistoric world: Alaska in the Cretaceous period, 70 million years ago – the last great flourish of the dinosaur era.

This film features three of Alberta's famous dinosaurs - the star of the film is a Pachyrhinosaurus and also in the film are Edmontosaurus and Edmontonia!

Walking with Dinosaurs: Prehistoric Planet 3D invites you on a journey through the seasons. The main characters are a herd of large, frilled, plant eating dinosaurs – Pachyrhinosaurus. The film follows their youngsters through the seasons and the challenges of growing up and establishing themselves in this prehistoric world. From the moment they hatch, they face predators, extremes of weather and natural disaster as they fight for survival.

Walking with Dinosaurs: Prehistoric Planet 3D is an immersive 3D experience – the characters are animated throughout against real backgrounds. The most authentic dinosaur experience ever to be seen on the giant screen – the animals’ bodies and movements have been precisely built up from fossil evidence and their behaviour is derived from both palaeontology and detailed knowledge of the behaviour of modern animals. Even their body language has been inspired by what we know of real animal behaviour and gives these creatures an amazing realism.
