Special Movie Showings:

DISR0001_POSTER_3D_12x18.lores copyDEEPSEA CHALLENGE 3D

Showing 10:00am, 1:00pm and 4:00pm

There are human footprints on the moon and rovers on Mars, but our deepest oceans remain a mystery. Largely unexplored, these dark depths are Earth’s last frontier, yet they could unlock clues to understanding our planet. That notion inspires a history-making scientific expedition at the heart of a new large format film adventure from National Geographic Studios.

40 minutes

Rated PG

 

Finding NemoFinding Nemo in 2D

Showing 11:00am and 2:00pm
Marlin (Albert Brooks), a clown fish, is overly cautious with his son, Nemo (Alexander Gould), who has a foreshortened fin. When Nemo swims too close to the surface to prove himself, he is caught by a diver, and horrified Marlin must set out to find him. A blue reef fish named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) who has a really short memory joins Marlin and complicates the encounters with sharks, jellyfish, and a host of ocean dangers. Meanwhile, Nemo plots his escape from a dentist’s fish tank.
