Thanks for the info! This will be a definite day 1 buy for me.
Been a big fan of Star Trek for several decades now.
I think the "re-boot" of the franchise was very good. I'm looking forward to the inevitable sequels. :D

Paramount always does a fantastic job with their new releases. Can't wait for this one. New audio demo disc.:D

BTW - at the DLP screening I saw of this it looked to me like a few shots were out of focus, normally the projector is fine at that theater, so I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.

Loved this movie, can't wait for the BD.

I noticed the same thing in some scenes both times I saw it--once at a theater using DLP and once at the IMAX.

This movie is still the best movie this summer

This movie rawked, can't wait to own it on Blu. Day one buy, anxious to watch it again, it will be like TRULY viewing it for the first time because the theater I saw this in SUCKED, especially the audio. Kinda spoiled I suppose, but I've reached the point where I'd rather watch on my humble home rig vs a crummy theater now (at least based on that last experience, hit or miss I reckon). Massive screens don't always simply = great experience! )=

I absolutely loved this movie. Hopefully the BD release will be as interesting as that post sounds! Although admittedly I'd pay a bit more if they released a version with a bit less lens flare.... ;)

Great movie and the DVD and BD look stacked. Can't wait.

A few shots of NIMOY as Spock are definitely out of focus and I think it was intentional to give him a 'soft' appearance...but all the soft shots I noticed were ones of Nimoy.

I was pleasantly suprised how good this movie was. I was skeptical when I first heard about this movie, but it turned out to be very good. This will be a day one buy for me as well.

I can't wait to watch this in my theater !!!

I didn't see it in the theaters on purpose even though it is my most wanted of 2009. Frankly at this point I want my first experience of movies such as this to be on my led backlit sammy.

Hm your home set-up must be realllly nice..I can't get the theatre experience in my own home.

So the whole "bigger than life" on the Big Screen thing doesn't do anything for you?

For me if I have the chance to see a spectacular adventure film, especially a sci-fi flick, on the Big Screen that's the way to see it. I prefer spaceships to look, as they "should," bigger than me, not smaller than me like toys.

That became my issue with watching lots of sci-fi movies on my plasma. Yes the images were punchier and sharper than the theater, but what I got were really vivid little toy-sized images rather than the planets, ships etc looking appropriately huge and awe-inspiring.

(For the same reason, I always used to go to 2001, Blade Runner, Jurassic Park etc whenever they played at a local IMAX theater where the visual experience couldn't be beat).

You should have seen it on IMAX.

I saw dark knight in imax. I enjoyed it much more when I got the blu-ray. For me bigger gets trumped by resolution and contrast ratio.

35mm has just as much or more resolution than BD.

For that matter, TDK has 20-30 minutes of 70mm film, waaay bigger and higher resolution than you'll ever see at home. I can't imagine only ever seeing a film like Star Trek on a dinky TV at home.

If the theater puts it in focus. I saw TDK and Transformers 2 in the Natick IMAX at Jordans and it was blurry/out of focus each time.. It would be definitely sharper on my LCD. I saw Watchmen on a LIEMAX and it was better quality than the film IMAX's I have been to. DLP is still the best way to see a movie in my experience (or area where I live).

Being a Trekkie, I can definitely say that this would certainly be a pretty good installment, although, JJ Abrams seemed to want to tell Star Trek as an action film, when it was actually supposed to be a Sci-Fi series, and Spock, along with most Vulcans, are logical, non-emotional beings, but Abrams made him into anything BUT in this one. Jeez, I mean, I'm a fan of action AND sci-fi movies, but why lean more towards action here? I mean, I love the movie, and would own this Blu-ray in a heartbeat, but the way this "reboot" was done would make Roddenberry roll in his grave.

I agree with you but at the same time without changing direction Star Trek was done for. Much like Bond, this just had to happen to save it.

I th
ink we need to seperate Star trek television and Star trek Cinema.

Its two different ballgames.

People goes active to the cinema and pays in cash for the experience. On television, it basicly comes to you. The only thing you have to do is to push a button.

To get people to the theater you usually need a larger then life story. You cant base an entire movie on a chess game between Kirk and Spock, but you could make a television episode of it.

While I think a good Star trek movie could have little for everyone, I thought the last movie was good enough. Sure some minor nitpicks, but I think they manage to make a great reboot and still stay true to the orginal universe.

I certainly look forward to the next one that doesnt focus so much about creating a reboot, but just give us a great story in a fantastic universe.

The crew is asembled just give 8 great new adventures.

PS
What do you think of my idea for the next movie.
In the beginning, let the Enterprise go out of warp and chrash into Botany Bay
and let Khan rest in peace. A minor accident in space. ;)

Well, at least it's better than Nemesis, but just a shame that Rick Berman wasn't given a second chance at Trekdom... It wasn't his fault that Enterprise didn't do so well, it was just that UPN couldn't compete with the "Big Four" networks. Their network wasn't as well advertised for the general prime-time crowd, even WWE Smackdown couldn't save UPN. Had Paramount decided to air Enterprise on CBS or NBC, Rick Berman would've been the one writing this movie, since Trek would probably be more successful on a more major network. Anyway, Roddenberry appointed Berman as his successor. For Paramount not to give him a second chance to write a movie like this... Hmm...

I am very thankful that Berman was not allowed to touch the new film.

Me too, can't wait. I didn't used to be a Star Trek fan before but after watching the new movie I have started to watch the old shows and am turning into a fan :)

Isn't that awesome? A whole new generation is starting to watch the original series because of this film, and is enjoying it.

Day and date purchase. I'm really looking forward to checking this out multiple times.

I'll probably be watching this one as much as I watch TMP. That is, over and over and over :D

That is pretty cool.

We took our 5 year old with us to see Star Trek, and she loved it. Shortly after, we got the movie boxed set on Blu & season 1 TOS. She watched a couple of the movies with us, and it was fun explaining to her that they were the same characters as the movie she saw, but different people.

Granted, she's grown up surrounded by sci-fi (daily recordings of DS9 & TNG for the majority of her life along w/ various other shows), but I just think it's fantastic to be exposing Trek to younger generations, the same way my family did for me!

I'm buying this too... I might even skip the screenshots out first, but I am losing a bit of faith in buying blind at the moment.

Unfortunately, the requirements of a theatrical film are very different from episodic television. With TV, you can have a mix of thoughtful and action oriented shows and as long as the aggregate ratings are good you're safe. With film, you have to appeal to the largest audience possible and an action oriented story is a more common denominator than a true sci-fi adventure. Roddenberry tried to go hard sci-fi with Star Trek: The Motion Picture and that picture is often dismissed as being too boring (though I happen to love it, especially the Director's Edition). Conversely, The Wrath of Khan is considered by many to be the best Trek movie, yet even though it nails the characters, it is in my opinion furthest from Roddenberry's ideals as the solution to almost every problem is to blow stuff up.

As for the character of Spock in the new movie, if you check out early Trek shows like Charlie-X, the Menagerie and Man-Trap, you'll see that the young Spock from those shows clearly shows a variety of emotions; there's even the hint of a little flirting between him and Uhura in some of those shows. In Journey To Babel Spock's mother Amanda spoke of Spock being taunted by the other Vulcan children and the animated episode Yesteryear even showed us Spock being antagonized by other Vulcan children; the movie even shows us this in a sequence that evokes very strongly of DC Fontana's writing. Since the Spock from the new movie is even younger than in the show, it is quite logical (no pun intended) that he is even less in control of his emotions.

Personally, as somebody who has been a Star Trek fan for over 35 years, I absolutely loved the new movie and will be picking up the BluRay on day one. The extras sound interesting, especially the blooper reel and deleted scenes. It would be nice to have an extended edition with them restored into the movie. I've been looking at Panasonic's new 54" line of 1080p plasmas and this may just be the impetus to get one.

Should be a great time in HT's and will probably go into heavy rotation in mine.

I guess everyone has their opinions, but you seem to come across as just wanting to be contrarian.

Because I said I prefer to watch movies at home? That is my opinion and if you are offended by it too bad.

This thread is about the blu release not the theatrical release is it not?:mad:

Here's my question. Is this the same date the Star Trek movies 7-11 boxed-set is supposed to be out? Or is that out in November-December? If that's the case, this is rather disappointing. I don't want to wait just because I want the boxed-set.

If the theater puts it in focus. I saw TDK and Transformers 2 in the Natick IMAX at Jordans and it was blurry/out of focus each time.I saw it there too and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Also, you realize IMAX theaters have a certain standard they're supposed to meet and the projectionists are much more experienced than regular movie theater projectionists? If you have a problem with the showing you shouldn't hesitate and find someone to communicate there to fix the problem (that's why they carry walkie-talkies)- I always do at any movie theater that's having a technical problem, if not I ask for a refund.

For the moment at least, a DLP projection is less than analog projection, especially an IMAX one. Eventually that will change but it's still a bit of a way off.

Isn't that awesome? A whole new generation is starting to watch the original series because of this film, and is enjoying it.http://***************/9/P/i.jpg

Yes Sir..The young ones watching the old films is good news :p

Fantastic looking forward in getting this copy

Was this film shot with Imax camera?

Was this film shot with Imax camera?No. So far only two major motion pictures have had scenes shot using IMAX cameras- the first being Dark Knight, the second being Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

When I saw Star Trek at my local (Sacramento) IMAX last week, it was in 16:9.

Isn't the movie 2.35:1?

If so, is that typical for IMAX to crop when they show a theatrical feature?

I had seen the film last month on a regular screen, and I actually preferred that screening. The IMAX version, while bigger (though likely cropped) and louder, was grainier and, at times, more washed out.

I predict the Blu-Ray will be awesome. :)

I'm hopeful that the Blu-ray version will indeed be the 16:9 IMAX version to fill up the whole screen... Don't wanna fiddle with letterboxing if I don't have to.

When I saw Star Trek at my local (Sacramento) IMAX last week, it was in 16:9.Are you basing this on eyeballing rough measurments or because there were very thin black bars above & below the image?

Are you basing this on eyeballing rough measurments or because there were very thin black bars above & below the image?

Eyeballing, but experienced eyeballing. :) I know well 16:9 ratio vs. 2.35+:1 ratio from years looking at my own 122" 16:9 screen and of course decades of moviegoing. Star Trek was in 16:9 at my local IMAX.

(FYI, I know that full IMAX has an approx 1.4:1 aspect ratio, so there was blank screen real estate above and below the Star Trek image.)

I know that full IMAX has an approx 1.4:1 aspect ratio...What's the name of the IMAX you went to?

What's the name of the IMAX you went to?

It's the Sacramento IMAX, which is a genuine, non-digital IMAX.

When I saw Star Trek at my local (Sacramento) IMAX last week...Then it wasn't an "authorized" IMAX showing, because the IMAX contract was only to show Star Trek for a limited run for the first two weeks of its release. It was probably just a regular print projected on an IMAX screen, not an IMAX DMR one, so you got ripped off. Then they went right into A Night at the Museum 2. Right now IMAX theaters are currently running Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

As for the home version to be released, it will be 2.35:1, because that's the AR of the movie.

It's the Sacramento IMAX, which is a genuine, non-digital IMAX.Thanx. I was asking because the few reports of Star Trek being displayed in 16x9 were from people having seen it on digital IMAX screens, which have an aspect ratio closer to 1.9, making 2.35 films look like they're almost filling the screen. You're not the first person on these forums to say they saw Star Trek in 16x9.

However, Star Trek was DMR'd to IMAX in its original 2.35 aspect ratio. There was no other aspect ratio for this release (unlike Apollo 13, which was DMR'd at 1.66). In order to get the IMAX film version to display at 16x9, the image would have to be zoomed in on the projector, which would cause some of the image to display on the theatre walls to the left and right of the screen. Do you think the Sacramento IMAX actually did this (assuming IMAX film projectors have the capability)?

The alternative is that you simply eyeballed the aspect ratio incorrectly, though I don't know if you're willing to accept that.

I'm hopeful that the Blu-ray version will indeed be the 16:9 IMAX version to fill up the whole screen...There is no "16:9 IMAX version". The IMAX release was 2.35:1, which will be the aspect ratio for the Blu-ray version.

I just wish I could get a version with less lens flare. That's the only thing that really bothered me, I found them distracting and annoying.

For whatever reason, the Sacramento IMAX theater always gets feature films a month later than everywhere else. It doesn't show "unathorized" screenings, they're definitely legitimate IMAX showings.

Also, every movie I've seen there has always been in the correct aspect ratio. The Matrix Reloaded and Spider-Man 2, for example, were definitely 2.35:1.

Hmmm...from the http://www.imax.com/sacramento/films/startrek.htm (Sacramento IMAX site), re their showing of Star Trek:

Star Trek will be digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® through proprietary IMAX DMR® technology. With crystal clear images, laser-aligned digital sound and maximized field of view, IMAX provides the world's most immersive movie experience.

DMR means nothing to me, but it says they did it for Star Trek.

Reading around online, seems to me that IMAX is often flirtatiously close to bait-and-switch with their crazy variety of projection conditions, which they get away with by putting everything under the legally vague phrase "IMAX Experience." <sigh>

Actually, my impression of Star Trek at this IMAX was not only that they had cropped the sides, but that even some of the top and bottom of the image was cut off as well (though most of the cropping was the sides).

I say this because before I went to the IMAX showing, I had just sat through home viewings (10' screen) all the Blu-rays of Star Trek I-VI films. All of them start with the new Star Trek preview, featuring Kirk riding his cycle across the Iowa plain, with the horizon 3/4 or so up the image. At the IMAX, that scene had MUCH less sky in it. The things you notice after seeing the same thing SIX times...

Anyway, caveat emptor with IMAX. And bring on the Blu-ray. :)

All of them start with the new Star Trek preview, featuring Kirk riding his cycle across the Nebraska plain, with the horizon 3/4 or so up the image. At the IMAX, that scene had MUCH less sky in it. The things you notice after seeing the same thing SIX times...Watch the preview again. The sky takes up a sliver (maybe 1/8th) of the image, which would match your description of the IMAX viewing.

There is no "16:9 IMAX version". The IMAX release was 2.35:1, which will be the aspect ratio for the Blu-ray version.


Really? Care to make it interesting?

Then it wasn't an "authorized" IMAX showing, because the IMAX contract was only to show Star Trek for a limited run for the first two weeks of its release.Not necessarily. The local film-based IMAX theatre (The Bridge) here in Los Angeles was showing Star Trek as their daily late show; all the earlier shows during the day were Night at the Museum 2. I saw Star Trek in digital IMAX on June 18th, weeks after NatM2 was released, at the Puenty Hills AMC 20. Two of the shows (4pm, 10pm) were Star Trek, the other four were NatM2. It was probably just a regular print projected on an IMAX screen, not an IMAX DMR one, so you got ripped off.Do film-based IMAX theatres have 35mm projectors in the booth? Even if they did, an non-DMR print would look very soft and have grain the size of golf balls. Penman didn't seem to describe this about his IMAX experience.

Really? Care to make it interesting?Sure. What did you have in mind? (I'm guessing "interesting" = $)

Penman didn't seem to describe this about his IMAX experience.Yes, Film based IMAX theaters (the ones with 6-Story 1.44 screens) do indeed have HUGE film based projectors in the booth. Usually on a two reel feed or more. Be clear on what you saw. You did not see a DMR based showing of Star Trek even though you saw it at an IMAX theater, like I said, Star Trek had an "exclusive 2 weeks IMAX engagement" no ifs ands or buts.

Since you were viewing it in an IMAX theater with a digital projector, what you saw was the D-Cinema version, which you could see at any normal movie theater with a DLP projector. You were paying for the privillege to view the movie in a theater under the "IMAX" name, with somewhat (although debatable) superior sound and seating. I suggest you check out this thread in the DVD/Movie forum entitled Spotting the fake IMAX (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1147353)for more information on the topic.

The name of this forum is "AV Science Forum". Read the name. What did you expect?:confused:

After the crapfest that was Transformers 2 I'd say this film is almost like Shakespeare! :D However, it truly de-science fictioned the franchise and replaced it with silliness, a banal plot, lousy and uninteresting villains, and an ADHD friendly pacing.

Count me as one who still thinks Wrath of Khan is still the pinnacle of the Trek movie franchise, and The Voyage Home as the best "whimsical" film of the series.

I suggest you check out this thread in the DVD/Movie forum entitled Spotting the fake IMAX (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1147353)for more information on the topic.I read (and posted) in the "fake" IMAX thread, but there's no mention of film-based IMAX cinemas running standard 35mm prints nor any mention of digital IMAX cinemas running (non-DMR'd) D-Cinema files. That would really be fraudulent (i.e., not even DMR'd). The "fake" IMAX in that thread refers to digital + smaller screens.

Again, you're wrong, since the Sacramento IMAX theater always gets movies after every other theater. Here's an article about it:

http://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content?oid=699822

These are not "fake" or "unathorized" showings, just delayed ones.

None of this has to do with the BD and it's months away. Please continue in the threads in the movie forum. Thanks.
