Star Trek, iMax and Tech Talk

It was Star Trek premier night (May 7) and everyone from Tech Talk Radio with their partners headed off to the iMax cinema in Carlton for a long awaited movie night. To say that evening was fantastic would be an understatement. Now we’re not all die hard trekkie fans, just a group of individuals who appreciate the experience of what iMax has to offer, and watching a brand new 70mm print on the world’s third largest screen where CGI and sound are everything is an experience everyone must do at one time in your life.

If you can imagine the biggest screen at your local cinema and double the width, then add 3 or 4 screens on top of that, that will give you an idea of the size of the iMax screen in Melbourne. One word sums it up. Huge!. Then imagine you were at your favourite rock concert and the sound that you expect to hear there, and that’s what you’ll hear at iMax. Crisp, clean, body shaking sound at a level just below you pain threshold! Absolutely brilliant. A cinema experience you’ll get nowhere else.

Do yourself a favour you’ll never regret, even if you aren’t a green blooded trekkie fan, get a group of friends together, and go and see this film at iMax before you see it anywhere else or heaven forbid download it off the net. As Adam Turner says, you only see a film for the first time ONCE! Then spend several hours in one of the many terrific restaurants in Carlton talking about the experience you’ve just had.
