| Review : True to the IMAX tradition Antarctica is replete with breathtaking aerial and underwater footage of the earth's highest coldest and driest continent. Like most IMAX movies Antarctica has some of the best production values on film today. The story begins with a flock of penguins above - and below - water and moves to gargantuan underwater ice sheets and then to a look at Antarctic climatic changes. Explorer Robert Scott makes an important contribution with his appealing voice and serene well-articulated narrative. The film cost .5 million to produce and the film crew had to drag 2300 pounds of Imax equipment in the frigid temperatures. It took two Antarctic summers to film and the crew stayed at the American French Russian and Chinese scientific camps. |
