Omnimax Show “Dinosaurs Alive” invites you to follow American Museum of Natural History paleontologists to uncover the earliest dinosaurs of the Triassic Period to the monsters of the Jurassic and the Cretaceous Periods. The show will explore the trackless expanses and sand dunes of Mongolia's Gobi Desert and the dramatic sandstone buttes of New Mexico. 

Through the magic of scientifically accurate computer-generated animation, these newly discovered creatures, and some familiar favourites, will come alive…in a big way in the “Dinosaurs Alive”!

80 million years ago, a Protoceratop and a Velociraptor fought to the death. As they died in the sands of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, their battle was frozen in time.

On display at the American Museum of Natural History, the fossil of an Oviraptor’s nest helped paleontologists drew a conclusion that the good parent Oviraptors sat on their nests for incubation just like modern birds.

Coelophysis was one of the first dinosaurs. It lived in the canyons and forests of the Triassic Southwest of North America. Coelophysis grew to about 2.8 metres and weighed 45 kilograms. It became an effective predator due to its acute vision and leg bones indicating an ability to run fast. 

Living during the Jurassic Period, the 34-metre-long Seismosaurus is one of the biggest dinosaurs ever discovered. A Seismosaurus, weighed over 20 tonnes, was a gigantic long-necked plant-eater.

The film crew was preparing a shot from atop a giant fallen redwood tree. In the film, a 680-kilogram, 4.6-metre-long dinosaur would perch itself on the trees.
