Sea Monsters 3D
Almost everyone shed tears in the dinosaur animation “Land Before Time” which brought the cute and charming Brontosaurus Littlefoot and the ever popular song “If We Hold On Together.” People’s heart thumped in Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park” which revealed the fierce and dangerous world of dinosaurs where the game is survival of the fittest. Who would ever forget the peace-loving, long-necked brontosaurus and diplodocus, the flying dinosaur Pterodactyl, and the infamous rogue T-Rex? These are the common dinosaurs that kids and adults are most familiar with. However, unknown to many, there are also unusual looking giant reptiles that lived in the water during the dinosaur age.
National Geographic brings to life the extraordinary marine reptiles of the dinosaur age. And this time, giant sea monsters called Styxosaurus, Xiphactinus, the T-Rex of the ocean Tylosaurus and more wondrous beasts would defy the viewer’s imagination.
The 40-minute film narrated by Tony Award-winning actor Live Schreiber will take the audiences on a prehistoric adventure into the unexplored world of the “other dinosaurs”.
“This is the first giant-screen film about what lived in the water during the dinosaur age,” said producer Lisa Truitt, President of National Geographic Giant Screen Films and Special Projects. “It is perfect subject matter for such an immersive format, one that allows these giants to literally swim off the screen and directly into the audience.”
Funded in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation, Sea Monsters 3D follows the story of a family of Dolichorhynchops, otherwise known as “Dollies,” as they struggle to survive the ancient waters infested with saber-toothed fish, prehistoric sharks and giant squid. On their journey, the Dollies encounter other strange sea creatures; lizard-like reptiles called Platecarpus; Styxosaurus with necks nearly 20 feet long and paddle-like fins as large as an adult human; and the 40-foot super-predator Tylosaurus.
Sea Monsters 3D will let viewers into a one of a kind experience that kids, kids at heart and science geeks would definitely enjoy. The ultra-high-resolution 3-D graphics used on the world’s biggest screen would surely engage moviegoers in every scene and jolt them at times.
