Having a home projector and 120in movie screen means the movies come to me.........if i could be bothered to pull out the screen from the cupboard. Lol
I have a similar set up. Full-blown home theater with a 4k projector and 7.2 surround. I only go to the theater now for special occasion movies now (Top Gun, No Time to Die most recently)
Oh your 4k is way beyond my setup, mine is only 1080p or 3d, but it works and 4k projectors are still way tol pricey here in the UK.
I'm tempted to go Monday in Lexington. It looks like they'll be playing First Contact in a couple of weeks too
We’re off tomorrow to see it. Hope it has all the extra scenes, like Scott’s nephew and I’m wondering if the Safavid is half Romulus line will be included. Can’t wait to see it all cleaned up. My last time in a cinema was York, circa 2005ish.
Yeah but you're missing the thrills and fun of: walking on sticky floors thanks to popcorn butter and soda pop (in most of the aisles) people watching their phones, whose glowing light distracts people talking to each other during the movie people in back making loud naughty noises (and not just profane words!) babies crying because they're seeing Khan kill everyone on screen is just what it takes for them to grow up faster needing food in (or, worse, food out) Not being propositioned while in the queue (much less in the back of the theater where the noises are) the obligatory quip about getting covid (or other diseases, especially in the back of the theater!) etc Aching to go back yet? Hmm, me neither...
When I saw it in the theater in 2010 and Kirk yelled, "KHHHHAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I clapped. Then everyone else started clapping. I started a chain reaction. Highlight of the night!
Will be going to see it on the big screen for the very first time. I watched it on VHS as a kid, then bought the regular DVD, then the DE DVD, then got the DE BD back in 2016. Absolutely loved the 4K in the 1-4 set a year ago. After all these years, still can’t wait to see it on the big screen! Khaaaaaan!
There was the extended Peter Preston bits in the engine room and sickbay. No comment on Kirk saying to Spock “that’s my son” whilst going up the ladders. I think they fixed the blood on Kirk’s jacket appearing/disappearing at the death scene? the movie looked very dark in the cinema compared to TMP and the film more grainy, like the graphics on the Kobayashi Maru sequence. I’ll ask a stupid question, as one of you will know, why is this?
My first star trek film I saw in cinemas was first contact, but went to see TMP a few weeks ago and just got back from wraith of khan, there was a bunch of tweens in the cinema, turns out they were in the wrong film.
I noticed that the movie looked darker. The film grain looked pretty normal for a movie of this vintage. The sound was excellent and I think the vfx have held up brilliantly, the only exception being a couple of dodgy matte paintings. My screening was half full and the audience were very respectful. A great experience.
Really enjoyed it today - too young to have seen it in the cinemas so a great opportunity. The music was the clincher for me - great to hear it in a cinema.
Same experience for me, it was an Odeon with reclining seats. The sfx ship shots look way more realistic than the Avarar trailer and dragons flying around from Dungeons and Dragons trailers! Not bad for 40 years old!
