CORAL REEF ADVENTURE:
THIS NEW LARGE FORMAT ADVENTURE FILM TAKES AUDIENCE TO CORAL REEFS.

Science City has launched a new large format (astrovision) show “CORAL REEF ADVENTURE” from December 10, 2009 for the public in the Space Theatre of the Space Odyssey building. The film is regularly screened in Space Theatre of Science City on weekdays at 11.30 am, 12.30 pm, 1.30 pm, 4 pm, 5 pm and 6.30 pm. The schedule is extended further during the holidays and peak seasons particularly during winter.

Coral Reef Adventure follows the real-life expedition of ocean explorers to the islands and sun-drenched waters of the South Pacific in the biggest and best film format that exists.

On the giant screen, you will feel like you are diving and exploring right with them and watch the healthy and beauty of coral reefs. From the dazzling underwater seascapes of Australia's Great Barrier Reef to the mysterious deep ocean corals of Fiji, and from the azure skies above Tahiti to shark-filled canyons off isolated Rangiroa, you will visit many reefs with the camera, that are flourishing and capture on film many interesting reef inhabitants. You will laugh at the little shrimp that wants to climb in your mouth to get its own bite to eat! You will see how reef animals rely on each other in surprising ways and dive down to the mysterious deep reefs of The Twilight Zone, a place no one else has ever been. It will be a nice experience as if you will swim with hundreds of grey reef sharks, then zoom through coral canyons, riding a fast current beneath the waves. But sadly, you will also swim through vast stretches of bleached coral boneyards, and learn how human actions may cause these devastating results.

The Undersea Journal describes Coral Reef Adventure as one of the most technically advanced underwater films ever made and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette narrates this film as both an ode to the beauty of these colorful underwater colonies, and a cry for help.


Planetarium:

In addition to the large format film show the theatre also offers a Helios Planetarium show on 'Vision Beyond Light Years' along with a large format film titled 'Calcutta: A City of Harmony'.
