Lost Worlds - Life In The Balance: Originally presented in IMAX theaters,
this documentary provides insight into the web of life, the biological relationships
of all living things and the puzzle of human survival itself.
Deep
in the jungles of Guatemala, a black jaguar prowls the ruins of Tikal, a Mayan
city that has lain abandoned for a thousand years. What can its fate tell us
about our own cities, our own society? To find out, join narrator Harrison
Ford in this exploration of our planet’s mysterious biological diversity.
With hair-raising helicopter ascents, witness the cascades of Angel Falls,
the world’s highest waterfall. See carnivorous plants on the lunar
landscape of Mount Roraima or a little black toad that walks and rolls instead
of jumping. Tunnel into a metropolis of microorganisms in the earth's soil,
swim through the kelp forests of the Pacific Ocean, and climb to the top of
Venezuela's mysterious Table Mountains which inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s
novel ‘The Lost World’.
This movie is designed to help viewers better understand the mysteries of our
natural environment, the earth's biological diversity and how the decimation
of one species has an impact on the entire ecosystem. With breathtaking
aerial and underwater footage, the IMAX cameras capture it all.
Narrated by Harrison Ford. Directed by Bayley Silleck.
