‘Monster Fish’ lurking at Tennessee Aquarium
Jean-Michel Cousteau’s “Secret Ocean 3D,” a new giant-screen film premiering Friday, Sept. 30, at the Tennessee Aquarium’s Imax Theater, is a chance to view some of the world’s most amazing marine communities with a scuba-diving legend. The film is narrated by oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle.
Filmed over three years in vibrant marine communities from the Bahamas to Fiji, this is the first Imax 3-D film directed by Cousteau. The conservationist chose to focus on the secret world within the ocean that is perhaps the biggest story of all – that the smallest life in the sea is the mightiest force on which we all depend.
More than 30 species of fascinating sea creatures, some no bigger than 1 inch, were filmed for the first time using new technologies. The crews captured animal behaviors in 3-D that have never been seen in theaters thanks to ultra-HD 5K cameras, slow motion, macro and motion-control techniques.
