The Human Body IMAX Film:
The Human Body is a dramatic IMAX experience that draws on the most sophisticated medical imaging available to show the inner-workings of the complex human body in large-screen format. The result is a visually mesmerizing, visceral experience that plunges viewers right into the action. Follow a tomato on its journey through the biological blender of our stomachs, paddle underwater with infants whose mysterious diving reflex allows them to comfortably "swim," and accompany a red blood cell into the pumping chamber of the body's engine room, the heart.
