Downloaded a bunch of "3D Movies" a long time ago but never got around to watching them until recently. They're only 40ish minutes long so it's hard to rate them but here goes:

IMAX: The Ultimate Wave: Tahiti 3D - GOOD

About surfing mostly and Tahiti in general. Good visuals and girls in bikinis.

IMAX: Galapagos 3D - POOR

A marine biologist explores the Galapagos islands where Darwin left off. She doesn't seem very smart for a scientist. Upon being interviewed about sharks she said her main reaction upon seeing one is "fear". Well no shit. Also when they traveled to the ocean floor where no one has ever been to collect animals no one has ever seen, she touches them with her bare hands when they get back on the boat. Also some weird technical issues which made the 3D look bad at some points.

IMAX: Grand Canyon Adventure 3D - STRANGE

The title says "Grand Canyon Adventure" but it's mostly about how we as a species are destroying the environment, mostly, the Colorado River. Very little time spent focusing on the Grand Canyon and mostly on how to preserve water. Robert Redford narrates the doom and gloom tone of humans destroying the environment while Dave Mathews provides the music. No joke. Dave Mathews songs throughout the entire thing. And then a surprise cameo from Robert Kennedy Jr. and his daughter about halfway through the film. This whole thing was really odd to sit through.

IMAX: Ultimate G's: Zac's Flying Dream 3D - INCREDIBLE

A young Michael Cera plays Zac who enjoys flying things and himself. Incredible dialogue, wonderful story, and superb acting. Micheal Cera even gives several of what will eventually become his trademark giggles after he finishes a line. The film does turn dark a few times, once with Zac's mother fearing he is suicidal. We never hear or see her for the rest of the film so it's safe to assume his suicidal tendencies were genetic and his mother offed herself. Also the flying scene between Zac and his girlfriend was clearly symbolism for sexual foreplay which eventually lead to coitus and them orgasming at the same time by shooting their smoke trails while piloting in the air. Zac was almost foiled by his childhood arch nemesis when he stuck chewing gum on Zac's laser targeting system but you just gotta see for yourself. Great film.

IMAX: Hubble 3D - GREAT

Pretty great. Leo narrates. You see the universe. In 3D.
