They're going to play the movie about the Shackleton adventure on our local
I-Max....has anyone seen it yet in that format? and was it worth it?

Awesome footage of the ross iceshelf. Also they had a reproduction of
the lifeboat they rigged to sail for help. Enjoy!


My wife & I saw the Imax Shackleton movie. We were both very impressed
and liked it a lot. I don't know how much the Imax added to it other
than some effects zooming past icebergs etc etc. The film of Endurance
sinking was cool. As Joe says, they also sailed a replica around South
Georgia I. and that is worth seeing (IMHO). Last but not least was the
reenactment of their trek across S Georgia, with experienced climbers &
modern gear, which they gave up as impossible.

The whole Shackleton story shows how motivation is truly the key to
accomplishment.
