Cincinnati Museum Center's Robert D. Lindner Family Omnimax Theater launches a festival of audience big-screen favorites on Wednesday , which runs for 22 days.

        The films, to be be shown on a rotating schedule, chosen by filmgoers' ballots, are:

        • Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets, sweeping views of the most famous river gorge on the planet, based on the 1864 exploration of John Wesley Powell.

        • Stormchasers, a ride-along with thrill-seeking weather junkies and scientists who track the biggest and baddest of Mother Nature across the globe.

        • Ring of Fire, a breathtaking exploration of some of the world's most active volcanoes.

        • Everest, a gripping and unusually emotional trip to the top of the world, filmed the same year of the killer storm that inspired the book Into Thin Air.

        • The Living Sea, one of the most beautiful of the Imax films goes underwater in the Pacific, with music by Sting.

        • Blue Planet, the entrancing experience of seeing Earth from outer space was the movie that inaugurated the Lindner theater.

        • Tropical Rainforest, lush footage illustrates dire ecological dangers.

        • Mysteries of Egypt, a re-creation of the discovery of King Tut's tomb is a highlight of this rich visit to one of humankind's oldest civilizations.
       The museum center is in Union Terminal, 1301 Western Ave., Queensgate. Tickets are $6.50, and $4.50 for children, available at the museum or through Ticketmaster, 513-562-4949. For show times, call 513-287-7000, 1-800-733-2077, or visit www.cincymuseum.org.
