Cast Heather Pike, Buster Pike, Zannah Lawrence, Luke Brinkers

Story of what happens under the skin that lets you see the extraordinary achievements of everyday human life. The film provides images of the 100 billion new red blood cells produced by the body every morning, the 40 yards of new hair sprouting every day, a trip on a tomato from the mouth to the stomach, babies able to hold his breath under water or cells moving with music within the ear.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

There's some excellent biological information in this film for preteens and teens -- if they can stop giggling long enough to hear it.

L.A. Weekly by Chuck Wilson

There's no denying the overwhelming force of the giant IMAX screen, as we're reminded that each of us is the coolest special effect ever.

New Times (L.A.) by Gregory Weinkauf

Pustules, puberty and pregnancy...seven stories tall! Mostly grand but occasionally grody

Variety by Robert Koehler

It's the soundtrack, as much as the opticals, which makes this brief Imax trip a thoroughly sensory experience.
