Kilamanjaro at the Imax
Tuesday, April 18, 2006
We went to see this little feature at the imax on Saturday and it was really good. They chronicled a group's trek up the highest mountain in Africa.
The hike through different temperate zones to get to the top.
There were little kids and an old lady on the trek. Andrew and I didn't think the old lady would make it to the top but I won't give away the ending.
I really enjoyed it it the film and it was on the dome screen so that made it even cooler. Adaptation has always been one of those things in science that has really intrigued me, like the chameleon that can change colours to blend into its environment. They showed these plants that could close at night to protect themselves from then frost and then they open up during the day to get light form the sun.
The only thing I am wondering is the spelling of Kilamanjaro I didn't think there was a "d" in it and on the posters at the show it looks like someone has photoshopped a "d" inbetween the "n" and "j". Maybe the "d" is for documentary.
On a side note Derailed is actually a good movie.
