‘The Living Sea’ comes to Omnimax
Wednesday, May 20, 1998 | 10:31 a.m.
Showcased on a dome-shaped screen nearly six stories high, the two movies will be scheduled alternately every hour on the hour, 2 to 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, noon-10 p.m. Friday-Saturday, through Sept. 13. Ticket prices for either film are $7; $5 for children 2-12, military, seniors and the disabled, Caesars Palace hotel guests and groups of 15 or more. Nevada residents receive a $1 discount with proof of residency. Call 731-7900.
"The Living Sea," a 1995 Oscar nominee for Best Documentary (Short Subject), engulfs audiences with stunning footage of the world ocean and its abundant life. The film takes viewers riding over thundering waves as Coast Guard trainees rehearse rough-surf rescue, scuba diving among the Cental Pacific islands of Palau, surfing in Hawaii and swimming eyeball-to-eyeball with humpback whales. Audiences will follow a remotely operated vehicle to a depth of 3,00 feet, where they will view at close range strange creatures of the deep.
Narrated by actress Meryl Streep and featuring music by Sting, the 39-minute film was decorated by Greg MacGillivray. MacGillivray, a pioneer of large-format films, began his career making award-winning surfing movies.
"Everest" takes audiences on a climbing expedition to the top of the world, over creaking icefalls, across treacherous chasms and up slippery towering cliffs to the zone of oxygen-thin altitude.
