True to the IMAX tradition, Antarctica is replete with breathtaking aerial and underwaterfootage of the earth's highest, coldest, and driest continent. Most folks' TVs are 4,500 timessmaller than an IMAX screen--too small to duplicate the acrophobic-stomach sensation that is thehallmark of the IMAX in-theater experience. All the same, like most IMAX movies, Antarcticahas some of the best production values on film today. The story begins with a flock of penguinsabove--and below--water, and moves to gargantuan underwater ice sheets and then to a look atAntarctic climatic changes. Watch scientists locate and extract ancient ice to analyze preservedbubbles of ancient air, as well. Explorer Robert Scott makes an important contribution with hisappealing voice and serene, well-articulated narrative. The DVD's special features include Spanishand French language tracks, subtitling, and Internet links if you use the disc on your computer.
