The new IMAX film “Molecules To The Max” begins November 1 at the Clyde W. Tombaugh IMAX Dome Theater at the New Mexico Museum of Space History in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Produced by Nanotoon, developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and made possible through a grant from the National Science Foundation, this animated film takes the audience deep into the innermost workings of the cosmos through the adventures of a round eyed oxygen atom named Oxy and her two oxygen atom friends, Hydro and Hydra. These atomic musketeers explore inside places no one has ever been like snowflakes, chewing gum, pennies and the human cell. The straight man to the trio is, naturally, the on-board computer of their incredible ship the Molecularium.
Aimed at entertaining and educating children, parents and teachers, “Molecules To The Max” presents the world of atoms in a down to earth manner. Inside the Molecularium, a ship that goes from nano to macro in an instant and travels the speed of light, Oxy, Hydro and Hydra chart a course to discover the meaning of life. As they journey from outer space to inner space, the band of adventurers meet a myriad of characters who help explain scientific principles in an easily understandable manner. Children of all ages will delight in the music and animation of this exciting film. “Molecules To The Max” is distributed by SK Films, Inc.
Also playing at the IMAX Theater is “SHARKS”, a stunning immersive IMAX experience that takes the audience around the globe documenting the life of the ultimate predator. The stunning images really place the viewer in the middle of the colorful undersea world. Along with incredible shark encounters, audiences will get up close with sea lions, be surrounded by huge schools of fish and get so near to manta rays and jellyfish swimming past that they can reach out and touch them! “SHARKS” isn’t just a movie; it’s an exhilarating experience!
