Attack of the Space Pirates

This is the newest production at the Clark Planetarium.

Hidden somewhere in the vast reaches of space is an alien technology so powerful that it threatens the very galaxy itself. A gang of rogue pirates will stop at nothing to find that technology and unleash its awesome power against the rest of the universe. Now, only one valiant ship stands between the pirates and their total domination of space. It’s a race against time for the Starship Intrepid as it seeks to find the alien technology first while defending itself against the attack of the space pirates!

Light Before Christmas - ATK Imax Theatre

Locally produced in the Salt Lake area by Tandem Motion Picture Studios. After losing their way on a cold, blustery Christmas eve, two children are rescued by their friend. After inviting them into his cozy cottage he begins to read, “The Night Before Christmas.” To their astonishment, the children find themselves as characters in the poem, where they experience the wonder and delight of Santa’s visit to their home.

Santa vs the Snowman - ATK Imax Theatre

From the Academy Award nominated team that brought you Jimmy Neutron, comes the IMAX® 3D holiday film, Santa vs. the Snowman 3D. This film tells the story of a lonely Snowman who at first is swept away by the magical wonders of Santa's Village, only to ultimately wage war on Santa because he's jealous of all the attention Santa gets during Christmas time. An epic-scale polar war develops. The hilarious battle features such holiday defense mechanisms as hot chocolate squirt guns, giant Igloo Robot Walkers and even a 50-foot tall toy soldier manned by Santa himself.
