Avatar: An IMAX 3D Experience - Opens Friday December 18th
Monday – Sunday: 12:30pm, 3:45pm, 7:00pm, 10:15pm
 

On a distant moon, a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption, discovery and unexpected love -- as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization.

In AVATAR: An IMAX 3D Experience, protagonist Jake Sully is a wounded and partially paralyzed ex-Marine who leaves Earth only to find himself thrust into hostilities on the alien planet Pandora. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, Jake is torn between two worlds in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of Pandora's indigenous people, the Na'vi. Moreover, he falls in love with a young Na'vi woman, Neytiri, a beautiful warrior.

As Jake slides deeper into becoming one of her clan, he finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth, and the Na'vi - forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.

MacGillivray Freeman's The Alps
The Eiger. For the last century, the very name (often translated as the ogre) has struck cold fear into the hearts of mountain climbers who have coveted its summit but know all too well of its deadly reputation.

The tallest, stormiest cliff face in Europe, the Eiger is considered an extreme climb. It's immense and gorgeous North Face calls like a siren song to those who love the mountains. To climb it one must brave wild weather, shifting conditions and sudden showers of rock and ice – any of which can take a climber’s life in myriad ways. Mt. Everest might be higher in elevation but it doesn’t compare to the Eiger in terms of technical difficulty. The summit of the Eiger remains a rare place for any human being to dare journey – and even more rare for filmmakers.

From the Panhandle to the Rio Grande and from West Texas to the Gulf of Mexico, discover a place where the unfettered spirit is free to roam, and where horses run as wild as the imagination.

From the rugged mountains of Big Bend to towering city skyscrapers, the Texas landscape is as diverse as the folks who live there.  Find out how Texas innovation and ingenuity have lead the way in exploration, from the depths of the Earth to the far reaches of outer space.
