Once (0) a time, tourist destinations used to design posters to

advertise themselves. (16) days, making an IMAX film is the

best way to promote an area. I went to see (17) called
Adventures in Wild California, (18) is showing in London.
The film lasts forty minutes and provides the viewer (19)
both thrilling entertainment and a vivid impression of the state.
I found (20) seated in front of a 65-foot high screen and
was thrown right into the action as we (21) shown
snowboading at Tahoe and surfing in Half Moon Bay. It is clear that
there are (22) of adventurous activities on offer in California,
but (23) really comes across in the film is amazing variety of
landscapes. With their larger (24) life images, IMAX films
have the extraordinary power to take us to other parts of the world.
Also showing in London is a new film telling the story of Shakleton's
epic journey from Antarctica to South Georgia. One friend (25)
has already been to see it (26) me that the sensation of
rocking up and down in a small boat in a big sea was (27)
realistic that he felt seasick. He should have come out inspired (28)
go to the south seas himself, but (29) his case the
film may have (30) the opposite effect!
