IMAX: Journey Into Amazing Caves
Originally Created For Exhibition In IMAX Theatres
Journey into Amazing Caves is a visceral, suspenseful expedition with a new breed of scientists who boldly explore places once thought off-limits to human presence, let alone IMAX cameras. Join Dr. Hazel Barton and Nancy Aulenbach as they travel to unique and forbidding ice caves in Greenland, underwater caves in the Yucatan, terrestrial caves in the Grand Canyon and other spectacular locations. You will wriggle through tiny, twisting passages, swim through flooded underground vaults, drop into gleaming blue labyrinths of ice, and enter a world so extreme the microscopic creatures who live there are called extremophiles. For those compelled to push their limits in the world's most hostile environments, the risk of fatal danger and thrill of new discovery are the everyday factors that make cave exploration such an awe-inspiring experience. Narrated by Liam Neeson, with music by The Moody Blues.

The making of - freya
I have to agree with the others. The movie did not live up to it's promise. The Making of was definitely a better piece of work that the film itself.
While it was beautiful and interesting, I don't feel there was enough real information presented.
I was disappointed. I'm hoping that the rest of the Imax series is a better representation.Pretty eye candy but not much substance. - Zanne
I found the "making of" to be more interesting and more informative than the feature. In addition, the overdramatic, overwrought soundtrack ruined the feature for me - it competed with and detracted from the visually stunning imax shots.
Just ok. I can think of better ways to have spent my time.Fluff - Samiam
If you have any interest in the subject matter at all, this movie is not for you. Precious little information is imparted about the caves that are visited or caving in general. It is a very short (40 min) collection of scenic postcards. It is essentially a fluff piece to show off the "magic" of imax. There are many documentaries on the subject of caving that do a far better job. Not a complete waste of time but pretty close.
