Under the Sea....

Owen and I were invited to go to our 1ST 3D IMAX Theater picture ever. We watched "Under the Sea," narrated by Jim Carrey. It was amazing. We both loved it. You really felt like you were there, in the sea, looking at all the lifeforms. You had to wear these plastic glasses, with one lense red, and the other green. The glasses did not fold up, and they kept falling off my head. LOL. Lots of children were reaching out their hands to try and touch what appeared to be right in front of them. Owen only got a little scared when they showed the shark coming. Afterwards, they let us go behind, where the film is set up to go. It's like several different wheels, horizontally, not vertically. They run two films at a time to produce the overlap that makes the picture "jump" out at you. Then the man came out of the room that you could see through, and gave each child a piece of other films. Owen's was a couple shots from "The Lion King." Very neat to have. Here you see him with a 3D book we have at home, with him wearing paper glasses, and then the two film strips he got today.
