IMAX

Post by Capt. Jethro »

Last Saturday after bribing the house commander with a nice dinner and a few drinks she agreed to go see Star Trek in IMAX. She actually liked it and got her woman cry in during the Kelvin scene. :twisted:

All I gotta say is that if I ever enter the Powerball Lottery and win it I'm gonna have one of those theaters built in my new castle!

Snap :)

Went to see it in an IMAX with the wife (who is a bit of a trekkie) who had a tear during the Kelvin scene. Glad I paid a few bob extra to see it like that.

Indeed*. IMAX at the Franklin Institute after walking through the Star Trek the Experience Exhibition. I actually have a picture of my dad and I on a full scale 1:1 replica of the E-D bridge.

Can a day get any better?


*My only complaint is that in IMAX the lens flairs were literally blinding.
