RALEIGH
SHARKS 3D
EXPLORISSharks have always been a source of fear for humans, due in large part to movies like Jaws that depict them as blood-thirsty animals lusty for human prey. But the truth about sharks is much more interesting. Famed ocean explorer Jean-Michael Cousteau brings us Sharks 3D, now playing at Exploris in Raleigh. The IMAX movie covers a wide array of shark species up close and personal. For show times and more information, visit www.exploris.org.Megan Stein
