Woolly mammoths roam the frozen landscapes of the Northern Hemisphere in “Titans of the Ice Age” opening Jan. 16 at the Rangos Omnimax Theater at the Carnegie Science Center.

PITTSBURGH — The new Omnimax film “Titans of the Ice Age” opens Jan. 16 at the Carnegie Science Center, One Allegheny Ave.

Computer-generated imagery brings the mysterious Ice Age era to life in the Rangos Omnimax Theater at the center.

The film is an portal to the Pleistocene ice age, 20,000 years ago. Viewers can see frozen landscapes of the northern hemisphere before modern civilization, a world populated by saber-toothed cats, giant sloths, wolves, and the iconic woolly mammoths.

Roam the mammoth steppe with baby Lyuba, a female woolly mammoth calf recently exposed by the melting Siberian permafrost, now one of the best preserved mammoth mummies in the world.

The movie also charts the story of Zed, one of the most complete Colombian mammoth skeletons ever uncovered, extracted in 2008 from under a Los Angeles parking lot next to the famous La Brea Tar Pits.

“Titans of the Ice Age” is one of the first films shot using ultra high definition digital cameras. Backdrops were shot at Yellowstone National Park, the Northern Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains and Alaska.

Tickets for most shows are $8.50 for adults and $6.50 for children ages 3 to 12. Call 412-237-3400 for show times.

The Omnimax Theater continues the films “Animalopolis,” “Great White Shark,” “Jerusalem,” and “Mysteries of the Unseen World.”
