America Wild

America is home to some of the most famous national parks in the world, such as Yosemite, Redwood, Glacier and Yellowstone. But spanning almost 24 hours in flights and transits, it is certainly not a close destination for Australians to travel to.

The next best thing is to be a voyeur in IMAX 3D with America Wild, which offers breathtaking aerial and close-up views of mountains, forests, deserts, lakes, caves and their inhabitants. Robert Redford narrates the film, offering facts and the history of national parks including how they came to be preserved thanks largely to the efforts of Theodore Roosevelt.

The scenic shots are also combined with the journey of three adventurers exploring all kinds of terrain across the country, adding to the immersive experience of being in the wilderness. Quite simply, it’s impossible not to be amazed as you witness nature in its finest glory. (ASim)
