You may honestly forget you're sitting in a theater.

Wild Ocean: Now Playing!

Wild Oceans

Each year a feeding frenzy of sharks, dolphins, whales and other big game fish takes place along the Wild Coast of South Africa, as billions of sardines migrate up the KwaZulu-Natal Coast. Wild Ocean 3D plunges you into the middle of this underwater struggle and examines the effects global warming and over fishing have had on the great migration and the local people.
