SUMMARY:T. Rex Movie
DESCRIPTION:August 9 – November 9 in the PCI Digital Dome Theater\nPlease call ahead (251-208-6893) before visiting to verify specific showtimes and movies.\nClick here for admission pricing. \n \nClick for the Official Trailer \nFor over a hundred years\, dinosaurs have captivated audiences in museums and at the box office\, with one towering above the rest—the Tyrannosaurus rex. Advances in CGI wizardry and breakthroughs in tyrannosaur paleontology over the past 25 years have set the stage for a fresh look at the “king\,” from its early years to its prime. Now\, in collaboration with top tyrannosaur scientists\, a coalition of natural history institutions\, and pioneering paleo and visual effects artists\, GSF presents the most dazzling and accurate giant screen documentary ever made on this legendary predator—and its carnivorous Cretaceous cousins. \nThis immersive film explores the life of the GOAT—the Greatest of All Tyrants—while highlighting famous specimens\, landmark discoveries\, and the evolving interplay between speculation and scientific evidence. Narrated by Sam Neill\, the film tells the remarkable true story of three kids who discovered a teenage T. rex fossil\, a find that made international headlines in over 2\,000 media outlets. \n \nClick for the Official Trailer \nCome on an extraordinary adventure into magical worlds beneath our feet that most of us never see – one where life is lived at an extraordinary intensive pace\, where everything we know seems turned on its head. Experience the hidden kingdoms of the Enchanted Forest and the unforgiving desert of the Wild West. \nFrom BBC Earth\, this is the story of a day in the life of two little heroes: a scorpion mouse and a chipmunk. For each of them this will be a day they never forget. It’s a story of drama\, danger and courage\, of insight and revelation\, a journey to discover and understand a new and fascinating natural history. \nUsing the incredibly immersive power of specialist cameras\, audiences will be transported in a very intimate way into another world. Visual effects will enhance the audience’s perception of scale as multi-layered backgrounds exaggerate the sense of miniaturization. Viewers will never see our planet the same way again. \n\nShowtimes\n10:40 a.m. T-Rex\n11:20 a.m. Tiny Giants\n12:40 p.m. Tiny Giants\n1:20 p.m. T-Rex\n2:00 p.m. Tiny Giants\n2:40 p.m. T-Rex\n3:20 p.m. Tiny Giants \n\nReturning November 11-15\n\nClick for Official Movie Trailer \nJune 6\, 1944: The largest Allied operation of World War II began in Normandy\, France.

Blending multiple cinematographic techniques\, including animation\, CGI and stunning live-action images\, “D-Day: Normandy 1944” brings this monumental event to the world’s largest screens for the first time ever. Audiences of all ages\, including new generations\, will discover from a new perspective (in breathtaking Digital Dome Screen format) how this landing changed the world.

SUMMARY:Tiny Giants Movie
DESCRIPTION:August 9 – November 9 in the PCI Digital Dome Theater\nPlease call ahead (251-208-6893) before visiting to verify specific showtimes and movies.\nClick here for admission pricing. \n \nClick for the Official Trailer \nFor over a hundred years\, dinosaurs have captivated audiences in museums and at the box office\, with one towering above the rest—the Tyrannosaurus rex. Advances in CGI wizardry and breakthroughs in tyrannosaur paleontology over the past 25 years have set the stage for a fresh look at the “king\,” from its early years to its prime. Now\, in collaboration with top tyrannosaur scientists\, a coalition of natural history institutions\, and pioneering paleo and visual effects artists\, GSF presents the most dazzling and accurate giant screen documentary ever made on this legendary predator—and its carnivorous Cretaceous cousins. \nThis immersive film explores the life of the GOAT—the Greatest of All Tyrants—while highlighting famous specimens\, landmark discoveries\, and the evolving interplay between speculation and scientific evidence. Narrated by Sam Neill\, the film tells the remarkable true story of three kids who discovered a teenage T. rex fossil\, a find that made international headlines in over 2\,000 media outlets. \n \nClick for the Official Trailer \nCome on an extraordinary adventure into magical worlds beneath our feet that most of us never see – one where life is lived at an extraordinary intensive pace\, where everything we know seems turned on its head. Experience the hidden kingdoms of the Enchanted Forest and the unforgiving desert of the Wild West. \nFrom BBC Earth\, this is the story of a day in the life of two little heroes: a scorpion mouse and a chipmunk. For each of them this will be a day they never forget. It’s a story of drama\, danger and courage\, of insight and revelation\, a journey to discover and understand a new and fascinating natural history. \nUsing the incredibly immersive power of specialist cameras\, audiences will be transported in a very intimate way into another world. Visual effects will enhance the audience’s perception of scale as multi-layered backgrounds exaggerate the sense of miniaturization. Viewers will never see our planet the same way again. \n\nShowtimes\n10:40 a.m. T-Rex\n11:20 a.m. Tiny Giants\n12:40 p.m. Tiny Giants\n1:20 p.m. T-Rex\n2:00 p.m. Tiny Giants\n2:40 p.m. T-Rex\n3:20 p.m. Tiny Giants \n
