For billions of years, volcanoes have helped forge the world we know \u2014 from the continents to the air we breathe and even life itself. With over 500 active volcanoes, the Earth is bursting at the seams with these forces of mass construction.<strong><br \/>\n\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalsciences.org\/calendar\/movies\/#incredible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Incredible Predators<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> deconstructs the world of major predators as never before, taking an intimate look at the remarkable strategies they use to succeed. Advanced filming techniques expose the planet\u2019s top predators in extraordinary footage, putting the audience right beside them as they hunt \u2013 on land, under the sea or in the air.<strong><br \/>\n\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalsciences.org\/calendar\/movies\/#tiny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tiny Giants<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> follows a chipmunk in a wild wood and a grasshopper mouse in a scorched Arizona desert as they find themselves alone for the first time. Using the incredibly immersive power of 3D, audiences are transported into another world to experience the titanic battles these creatures face to survive.<br \/>\n<strong>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalsciences.org\/calendar\/movies\/#shark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Great White Shark<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> unravels the mystery of the creature we love to fear \u2014 the much maligned, misrepresented and misunderstood great white shark \u2014 and goes to the depths of human daring to tell the true story of its role atop the oceanic food chain. Three years in the making, \u201cGreat White Shark\u201d takes viewers around the world to great white hotspots.<\/p>\n<p>A generous grant of $275,000 from the A.J. Fletcher Foundation allowed the Museum to \u201crefresh\u201d the WRAL Theater during the past year, with key upgrades including a new 4K laser projector and improved audio system, along with new carpet, reupholstered seats, better sound baffling on the walls, and improvements to the presentation stage.<\/p>\n<p>Ticket Pricing: Adult $6; Senior\/Student\/Military $5; Child (3-12) $4; Members $3.
