Stay Warm At IMAX Melbourne This Winter School Holidays
This winter holidays IMAX Melbourne is sizzling hot with two new film adventures jam packed with action for the whole family - Wild Ocean 3D and Kung Fu Panda: The IMAX Experience.
Wild Ocean 3D
Experience a 3D adventure that will take you into the middle of a vicious feeding frenzy off the wild coast of South Africa, and let you witness the interplay between man and our endangered ocean ecosystem.
Wild Ocean 3D is a giant screen adventure about man and nature that captures one of the world’s greatest migration spectacles. Filmed off the Wild Coast of South Africa, the film chronicles a massive annual feeding frenzy where billions of sardines travel up the KwaZulu-Natal shoreline, known to locals as the Wild Coast.
For the people living along the African shore, this migration has provided a food source for countless generations while farther out at sea ocean predators come from great distances to feast.
Over the past century, however, there has been another predator in the ocean, one that takes enormous shoals of fish in one sweep, and does not give back to the sea in any way. This predator has broken the natural cycle and mistakenly regarded the ocean as an unlimited resource. That predator is mankind.
The richness of aquatic life that once filled our seas is now rare. Wild Ocean 3D explores the causes and effects of man’s impact on the complex marine ecosystem and the new growing threat of global climate change.

Kung Fu Panda: The IMAX Experience
Experience Kung Fu Panda on the big screen at IMAX. Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around…which doesn’t exactly come in handy while working every day in his family’s noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po’s dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five — Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey — under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it’s up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart - and his girth - into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.
Jack Black heads the voice cast as Po the Panda, the laziest of all the animals in the Valley of Peace. He is joined by the voices of Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Ian McShane and Lucy Liu.
