SUMMARY:3D Movie: T. Rex
DESCRIPTION:T. REX 3D\nFor more than 100 years dinosaurs have inspired and thrilled audiences\, commanding blockbuster status in museums and at the box office. But among them towers a king.

Discover how the process of science refreshes and re-imagines our understanding of this legendary dinosaur. \nFilmmakers worked with top tyrannosaur scientists\, a coalition of natural history institutions and pioneering paleo and visual effects artists to create one of the most dazzling and accurate T. rex documentaries ever made. \nBUY TICKETS\nT.
