LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- VOLCANOES 3D: THE FIRES OF CREATION,
blasts into the California Science Center IMAX theater on
January 21, 2019. Guests are
invited to join intrepid explorer Carsten
Peter as he dodges boulders at the edge of an active
volcano in Indonesia,
descends to a boiling lava lake in Vanuatu, and visits incredible acid
ponds, geysers and mineral deposit fields in Ethiopia. Peter also explored the
archeological ghost town of Pompeii, hydrothermal vents at the
bottom of the ocean and witnessed the devastating effects of the
2018 Kilauea eruption in Hawaii.
"VOLCANOES 3D offers the closest possible
approximation to experiencing an eruption, or descending into a
volcano, while remaining safe," notes California Science Center
President Jeff Rudolph. "We are
thrilled to show our audiences the incredible power of volcanoes,
as they learn about the ways volcanic activity has shaped and
affected our world."
Earth is a planet born of fire. For billions of years, volcanoes
have helped create the world we know. From the continents to the
air we breathe and even life itself, all have their origins in
fire. With over 500 active volcanoes, Earth is bursting at the
seams with these forces of mass construction. The story of
volcanoes is the story of the planet's creation, and the story of
us.
Wendy MacKeigan, CEO of SK Films,
says "We are excited to present this electrifying and educational
story of VOLCANOES 3D. Audiences will see volcanoes
up close and personal, like never before on the Giant Screen. The
film will take them to places they would normally not be able to
go."
The director and producer of VOLCANOES 3D,
Michael Dalton-Smith, shares, "We
often think of volcanoes as being destructive, but they also build
and play a beneficial role on the planet. There are dozens of
volcanoes erupting each day from the bottom of the ocean to
mountain peaks. To witness one in action is both beautiful and
awe-inspiring." He adds, "Most importantly, I hope that the
audience will come away with a better understanding of the forces
that shaped the world we know today."
Audiences will be captivated as they discover molten worlds and
exploding craters in this adrenaline-filled, immersive experience.
VOLCANOES 3D is an SK Films release of a Digital
Crossing Films production, in association with the Giant Screen
Dome Theater Consortium. The film will be shown in
IMAX® and Giant Screen Theaters.
