AVATAR

Showing through August 5.  Due to the special film length (162 min.) ticket pricing and policies will differ from normal. $10.95 Adults, $7.95 Child (3-12) - AVATAR 3D is not included in combo ticket pricing with the Aquarium.

AVATAR takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption, discovery and unexpected love, as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization.

The film was first conceived by Cameron 14 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual production work, AVATAR delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film, disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.
