Follow in the footsteps of paleontologists on their expeditions
to Mongolia's Gobi Desert to uncover some of the greatest dinosaur
fossils ever found. "Dinosaurs Alive" is a new IMAX® adventure
of science and discovery. It features "reincarnated" life-sizes, from
the earliest dinosaurs of the Triassic Period to the monsters
of the Cretaceous Period. One of the most dramatic sequences in
the film features a Velociraptor and a Protoceratops locked in
mortal combat as a sand dune sweeps over them and kills them. The
fossil of these fighting dinosaurs shows that they died in a deadly
embrace, claws and jaws still grasping at each other. Through the
magic of scientifically accurate computer-generated animation,
these newly discovered creatures, and some familiar favorites,
will come alive...in a big way!
The film premiered in New York on May 16, 2007. To find local IMAX® theaters and learn more about the film, visit http://www.dinosalive.com/.
