TO THE ARCTIC

Narrated by two-time Academy Award® winner Meryl Streep.
BORN TO BE WILD.
Experience an inspiring story of love and dedication, and the amazing bond between humans and animals in the new IMAX® film BORN TO BE WILD. Narrated by Academy-Award® winner Morgan Freeman, this film follows the lives of orphaned orangutans and elephants, from birth to their rebirth into the wild.
Stunningly captured in IMAX, BORN TO BE WILD is a heartwarming adventure that will transport moviegoers around the world into the lush rainforests of Borneo with world-renowned primatologist Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, and across the rugged Kenyan savannah with celebrated elephant authority Dame Daphne M. Sheldrick. Witness these teams save endangered species one life at a time as they rescue, rehabilitate and return these incredible animals back to the wild.
“Spending so much time among the orphaned elephants and orangutans in this film was a life changing experience,” said Producer/Writer Drew Fellman. “And IMAX makes it possible to share that wonder with the audience in a very profound way that takes us directly into the lives and struggles of these amazing animals.”
BORN TO BE WILD is a presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures and IMAX Filmed Entertainment. Directed by David Lickley and written and produced by Drew Fellman, the behind the scenes team includes supervising line producer Diane Roberts, associate producer Jill Ferguson, director of photography David Douglas and editor Beth Spiegel. Music is composed by Mark Mothersbaugh.
The film has been rated G. Run time of 40 minutes.
Can’t wait to see this film!
My kids and I are looking for ward to the Grand Re-Opening of the IMAX theater.
I am a huge fan of the IMAX. But I will pass this one.
We just saw a similar film at the Smithsonian IMAX in D.C. and didn’t enjoy watching animals kill and eat each other on the big screen. Many families with children left because the kids were crying.
Looking forward to the reopening, at any rate!
I was on the edge of my seat in that short time, I cant wait to see the whole film!!!!
Thank you, Jennifer, for passing on that bit of information regarding this particular movie. I know now not to take my 5 year old grandson. And, like you, am looking forward to the Grand Reopening!
I can’t wait to see the IMAX film in the new IMAX dome theater and take my son Ishwar and daughter Anjali to see it together. Looking forward to it!!
I love the ocean. It would be nice if they showed some surfing. I requested that they put in ear-jacks for Spanish and Chinese dubbing. I hope they took my suggestion.
Since OMNIMAX premiered in 1973 at the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater and Science Center showing two OMNIMAX features, Voyage to the Outer Planets and Garden Isle, I have been waiting for a breakthrough to excite me back again. And this film certainly does that for me. Congrads on bringing this film to San Diego!
I cannot wait to see the films in the new dome. Please keep me informed on any new advances.
Thank you.
Love the Dome.
I can’t wait to see the new dome. Being raised in San Diego the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater was a big part of my life. Now I’ve been able to introduce my son and he LOVES it! This film shows nature as God intended and teaches kids about the life cycle. I can’t wait to take my son to see it!
Oh my goodness! My granddaughter & I will definitely be going to see this!
I can hardly wait to see the transformation of the Theater. See you in Decenber.
Of course, I haven’t seen one yet, but from the trailers I have seen I definitely will see all of them as soon as the IMAX screen is available.
I have been told that the opening will be in December; is that correct? Will the vouchers that expire in 2008 be extended four mounths as the 2009 vouchers will?
Of the three, I like Van Gogh, and the lions best. There’s nothing wrong with the film about wild fishing of porpoises and sharks, but it’s too much like other films you have shown. The lion singing opera was great, and Van Gogh couldn’t be better!
