The latest space documentary from IMAX Entertainment, A Beautiful Planet, is now playing at Science North’s newly renovated IMAX Theatre.
 
The film features stunning footage of our magnificent blue planet — and the effects humanity has had on it over time — captured by the astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) — and is narrated by Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence. 
 
A Beautiful Planet is directed by Toni Myers and made in cooperation with NASA.
 
“We are so excited to offer our visitors the chance to be among the first to experience this fantastic documentary,” said Renée Lepera, senior manager, visitor sales and service, in a news release.
 
“The film will offer a truly unique perspective of our beautiful planet that will inspire visitors of all ages.”
 
The IMAX® 3D release of A Beautiful Planet has been digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX’s customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
 
A Beautiful Planet reunites much of the filmmaking team from Hubble 3D and Space Station 3D, led by producer and director, Toni Myers, who also wrote and edited the film. 
 
Director of photography, James Neihouse, ASC, served as the astronaut training manager. Graeme Ferguson, IMAX co-founder and pioneer producer of many IMAX space films, is the executive producer, and Judy Carroll is the film’s co-producer. Marsha Ivins also served as space operations consultant on the film. The music is composed by Micky Erbe and Maribeth Solomon. Sound design is by Peter Thillaye.
 
The first 100 people to purchase tickets to A Beautiful Planet in person this weekend will receive a complimentary gift. 
 
Science North’s IMAX Theatre is located at 100 Ramsey Lake Road in Sudbury, Ontario. For information on tickets and showtimes, visit sciencenorth.ca/imax.
