T. Rex 3D

For 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. With leaps in CGI and revolutions in tyrannosaur paleontology over the past 25 years, the time has come to revisit T. rex.

Explore the interplay between speculation and evidence through famous specimens, landmark discoveries and wild cinematic depictions over the last century. Discover how the process of science refreshes and re-imagines our understanding of this legendary dinosaur.

Filmmakers 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.

Oceans 3D: Our Blue Planet movie poster

Oceans 3D: Our Blue Planet

“Oceans: Our Blue Planet” takes us on a global odyssey to discover the largest and least-explored habitat on Earth. New ocean technology has allowed us to delve further into the unknown than we ever thought possible.

Beginning our journey in the warm coastal shallows, we meet surfing dolphins, and an ingenious tusk fish that uses a tool to crack-open its food. In the great forests of the sea, we find a cunning octopus who shields herself in an armory of shells to hide from predators.

As we journey through our oceans, we share these extraordinary discoveries and uncover a spectacular world of life beneath the waves.

Narrated by Kate Winslet.
