Jerlene was very excited the moment she saw all those big screens and lots of buttons for her to press. As we need to catch the 3D movie and iWerks shows, we did not have much time to try out everything. Before going for the movie, we went on a SAFTI bus tour. The bus tour brings us around the 88-hectare training ground for officers from the Army, Navy and Air Force. Btw, we were the only passenger on this bus tour.
After the bus tour, we walked over to the Army Musuem just next door. Apparently it's free admission till 30 Sep 2008. Again we did not have much time to spend in the museum. However, we managed to catch a multimedia show that highlights the Combined Arms fighting capabilities of our Army and to reinforce the notion that our Army is Ready and Capable. The effects are actually pretty good. There are 4 big screens on the 4 walls and throughout the show, there are surround sound effect, lighting effect, wind effect and water effect. 
Go experience it for yourself and you will know what I mean by the various effects. There is a part where a helicopter is flying above us, suddenly the theatre generates a powerful wind effect and Jerlene was so scared that from then on, she clinged on me so tightly till end of show.
After that, we went back to Discovery Centre to watch the 3D Movie called Monster Trucks 4D. I'm a bit disappointed with this show as I've seen many other 3D Movies that are a lot better than this. Jerlene seems to like it though but she cannot see the 3D effects because she refused to wear the 3D glasses. She sat on my lap quietly throughout the movie which is to my surprise. Just for info, this is her first movie on a big screen as I've yet to bring her to cinema to watch any movie.
Next is the iWerks movie called the Great North. Again it's shown on a five storey high screen but not 3D this time, just a normal documentary show. Initially it's quite interesting but after a while, I started to get bored. Jerlene shares the same feeling as me, which is why she slept half way through the show......haha.........
It was around 5:40pm after the show and the centre is about to close. As such, we decided to call it a day and went for dinner.

I've been there too, and indeed it was quite disappointing. Basically one trip there and we won't probably to go there again in the near future.
The place is still useful for school excursions and national education sessions though.
From your post, looks like the shows at the Omni Theatre at Science Centre is still more worth watching.
Yeah....I'm sure Omni Theatre will be much much better. :-)
