Review of Bugs at the I-max

Posted on Tue, January 06, 2009

“Bugs” at the I-max Theater was wonderful. I put on the 3-D glasses and everything was very real. The bugs felt like they were crawling and jumping out at me. I learned the rain forest was a place where lots of tropical rain forest animals live; like lizards, snakes, praying mantis, rhinoceros beetles, scorpions, aphids, tarantulas, vampire bats and caterpillars. My most favorite part was about the caterpillar hatching out of the cocoon and turning into a beautiful butterfly. Also, it showed a scorpion pinching with his claws and the rhinoceros beetles fighting for a girl beetle. It was fun to learn about the different kinds of bugs.
