On Nov. 16, Seattle's Child and the Pacific Science Center welcomed the magazine's readers to a free showing of the IMAX film Titans of the Ice Age 3D at the Center. The first-ever co-sponsored screening drew a full audience from around the Puget Sound, and the young attendees were encouraged to submit a review of the film. The best review, chosen by Science Center staff, earned its writer, 9-year-old Owen Harrison of Seattle, an annual family membership to the Center. Congratulations, Owen! And now, for your enjoyment, his review:

I watched the movie Titans of the Ice Age at the Pacific Science Center in IMAX 3D. If you don't know what ice ages are, it's the time when the Earth was covered in snow. In the movie the narrator said there were more than one ice age. He said there were five ice ages.
The animals that were featured in the movie were wooly mammoths – animals that look like the elephants that walk the earth today. There's another creature that's like the wooly mammoth but it's called a Columbian mammoth. Another interesting animal in the ice age is the saber tooth cat. They look like tigers but with long sharp teeth. There's also dire wolves, they're almost like timber wolves but dire wolves are bigger. And the last animal is the ground sloth. Unlike sloths that roam today they don‘t live in trees. That's why they're the ground sloths. See how all these animals are like animals that live now?
My favorite animal was the saber tooth cat because I like their long sharp teeth. What I thought was the coolest thing in the movie was the fossils. The coolest fossil was a fossil of a wooly mammoth tusk. The worst part of the movie is all those animals becoming extinct.
I'm recommending this movie to you if you have a free day and you want to do something with your family. This movie deserves five stars.
