"The Science of Cinema, Raised to the Level of Magic"

Tennessee Aquarium IMAX 3D Theater is the only cinema in Tennessee using the new IMAX with Laser projection system. IMAX® with laser represents a quantum leap forward in cinema technology, providing audiences with the sharpest, brightest, clearest, and most vivid digital images ever seen!

Now Playing:

  • Ancient Caves 3D:  Ancient Caves brings science and adventure together as it follows paleoclimatologist Dr. Gina Moseley on a mission to unlock the secrets of the Earth’s climate in the most unlikely of places: caves. Moseley and her team of cave explorers travel the world exploring vast underground worlds in search of stalagmite samples – geologic “fingerprints” – that reveal clues about the planet’s climate history.

  • Deep Sky: Deep Sky brings the awe-inspiring images captured by NASA's Webb Telescope to IMAX® — taking audiences on a journey to the beginning of time and space, to never-before-seen cosmic landscapes, and to recently discovered exoplanets, planets around other stars.

  • Godzilla Minus One: Post-war Japan is at its lowest point when a new crisis emerges in the form of a giant monster baptized in the horrific power of the atomic bomb.

  • Secrets of the Sea 3D: From adorable pygmy seahorses and opalescent squid to manta rays, tiger sharks, a coconut octopus, and much more, Secrets of the Sea takes you face-to-face with an astonishing array of marine critters, showing the fascinating ways they interact with each other and their environment.

  • The Polar Express 3D: Experiencing this holiday tale on the giant six-story screen has become a family tradition for many. When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks upon a journey of self-discovery, showing him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.

Coming Soon:

  • Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom: Director James Wan and Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa—along with Patrick Wilson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Nicole Kidman—return in the sequel to the highest-grossing DC film of all time: “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time, Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force.
     
  • The Boy and The Heron: A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead. There, death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning. A semi-autobiographical fantasy about life, death, and creation, in tribute to friendship, from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki.
     
  • Wonka: The story of how Willy Wonka went from a young adult selling chocolate in a small candy store to an eccentric genius known all over the world.
