Big Screen for a Big Fish: Great White Shark IMAX Movie
The six-story screen of The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk is plenty big enough for “Great White Shark,” a new IMAX movie that offers larger-than-life encounters with these feared predators.
Ironically, despite all of the big sharp teeth, the film explains how the sharks actually need our help.
“Great White Shark” opens Fri., Oct. 11, showing at 11 a.m. & 2 p.m. daily through Nov. 27. Times will change after Thanksgiving. Confirm show times before visiting at (203) 852-0700 or www.maritimeaquarium.org. Get ticket information and watch a trailer of the film, at the Aquarium's website.
