It is happening!!!!!!!! Found out that Hoyts IMAX cinemas in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth will showing the 9 minutes of Star Trek Into Darkness. Found out from Facebook. Check the Official Star Trek Australia link out.
I'm hoping I can avoid youtube, as I want to see it on the big screen. I'll know I'll be excited when I hear reviews online from it next weekend. Hopefully there won't be too many spoilers about it.
But I think it's forbidden to enter with camera, tablet, isn´t it? security must be attentive at the entrance
Hopefully New Zealand gets the preview too. Only one IMAX screen here and I'm fortunate enough to be travelling to Auckland the weekend The Hobbit opens!
^ Best to check with your imax cinema. I didn't know about there being imax cinemas with hoyts, as I thought there was only one imax in Melbourne. Checked a few weeks ago. Not sure about the Sydney one either.

On top of that, the Hoyts cinemas will be showing typical IMAX documentaries, plus a selection of 3D entertainment, complete with stupid glasses...": http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/12/hoyts_bringing_imax_to_its_theatres/
Sounds good; Highpoint is pretty close to me. I am not a big fan of IMAX screens - I saw a midnight screening of XI at the Melbourne IMAX cinema and it was really headache-inducing. I hope 3D doesn't make it even worse.
