Amazon Adventure (3D)

Showing Thurs., April 10—Sun., May 4

Amazon Adventure 3D tells the epic, true story of explorer Henry Bates’ fascinating 11-year journey through the visually stunning and biodiverse Amazon rainforest as a young man who risks his life for science in the 1850’s.

As in any great detective story, audiences will experience, in the immersive Rangos Giant Cinema, the compelling clues Bates unearths in his major discovery of the phenomenon of mimicry, whereby certain animals adopt the look of others that helps them deceive predators and gain an advantage to survive.

Little known to the public, Bates made other crucial contributions to biology: identifying 8,000 species new to science and most importantly, putting forward the first ever case for the creation of a new species, which Charles Darwin called the “beautiful proof” for Natural Selection. Audiences will be wowed by the mind-boggling examples of camouflage and mimicry and inspired by Bates’ endless curiosity and determination to explore the wilds of nature from the time he was a young boy.

The film swept the 2017 Giant Screen Cinema Association Awards, taking home such accolades as Best Film, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Sound, and Best Lifelong Learning. Variety magazine described Amazon Adventure 3D as “spectacular… a large-screen triumph, such a high level of writing, acting and production polish… parents and teachers rejoice!” “Visual majesty… and compelling narrative,” wrote Smithsonian Magazine.
