My all time favorite, Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) from the Voyager series. Awsome.

She should have been the ship's doctor, instead of the weird guy.

Real Imax is 70mm film running horizontally, each frame having 15 perforations. I also don't understand how than can slap the "Imax" name on a photographic blow up of a vertically running 35mm (4 perfs/frame) film. (even if it's scope and compressed 2:1 vertically in the campea negative) Or if the film was shot in digital, the current resulution Hollywood uses is about equavalent to 35mm film. Come on --- pixels are pixels and when they get bigger you can see them.

Star Trek was shot in anamorphic format on 35 mm film (not HD digital). For IMAX, the movie is digitally upconverted and printed on 70 mm film with a proprietary process that makes it sharper, removes film grain, corrects color balance, etc (so they say). The theater I went to, had the digital DLP dual projectors which I hear are not as good as the analog 70 mm projectors, but then the DLP's can do 3D. The 12 kW of surround sound is also a plus over regular screens. (The IMAX screen has thousands of holes so sound actually comes out of the screen.) |

Thanks Jeff. I just went to see Star Trek with my xyl last night. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!! It was the most fun I have had at the movies in a long time. 99.99% of the time I go to a movie, it's one my wife wants to see. She was a real trooper to go to this one (and even use her two gift certificate movie tickets she received as a present). At least she stayed awake. Years ago as newly weds I took her to a James Bond movie and she fell asleep. Dave |

I'm going to see it tonight with a few neighbors. Hope it's better than this William Shatner impressionistic attempt at singing Harry Chapin's "Taxi". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBWOmHUvKBw(He really gets cranked up at 2:20 minutes in if you can stand it. Harry Chapin must be rolling over in his grave...) Loved the BarakSpock! |

The movie was really enjoyable. I wasn't quite sure what to expect given the fact that this was another J.J. Abrams event, meaning it would either be a huge failure or an excellent production, but in my opinion he did it right. I was amazed at how accurately the main cast portrayed the characters from the old TV show, right down to their most subtle mannerisms. The audience burst out laughing quite a few times when old lines from the series showed up in the script.
The dynamic range of the sound system in the theater was put to the test with some of the special effects, but I didn't detect any clipping or distortion. My wife insisted on wearing ear plugs, probably a good thing if you don't like it loud.
I'm pretty sure I caught a glimpse of Mr. Vu ripping out some Behringer equipment and installing a Symetrix 528E with balanced lines into the audio chain of the Enterprise communications system. Couldn't confirm that 100% though.
The viewer rating at IMDB is sitting at 8.5 out of 10 which is an impressive score. Even the popcorn was good!

I saw it last week. If they do not sign up these actors for a few spinoffs & a TV series they are nuts. O'Hura was HOT!

I hear they are already signed to do 2 more sequels. It's a start. |
