Amy and her sister, Christina, arrived 20 minutes early for the midnight show of Star Trek at the new IMAX theatre in Saco, Maine. That's right! Maine has an IMAX now! Upon arrival an usher said: "You'll have a hard time finding two seats together." We did find places among the approximately 350 people that the IMAX can seat. The digital picture was impressive, a little too impressive being we nearly had to sit in the front row! IMAX uses film larger than the standard 35 millimeters to allow for larger screens and increased resolution.A new, dual digital projection system that debuted last year was used last night on a 70 feet wide by 40 feet tall reflective silver screen and the laser-aligned sound system is rated at 12,000 watts of power. Amy's favorite part of the movie was the character development; with so little screen time for a large cast, J.J. Abrams still delivered a fast-paced, funny, entertaining ride.
Later, my sister Chris shared this link for movie release dates I found helpful if you're a movie buff: http://www.firstshowing.net/releaseschedule2009/

I just heard a piece on NPR today interviewing the linguistics prof who was hired to develop the Vulcan and Klingon languages. Worth a search on NPR if you are a devoted Trekkie (I am not one). I think it was on Robin Young's show that comes out of Boston.
