Star Trek hits IMAX screen

Fans and moviegoers of all ages will embark on an intergalactic journey like no other when Star Trek: The IMAX® Experience opens at the Science North IMAX® Theatre in Sudbury for a limited one-month run.

A Star Trek launch party will be held Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. in the CTV Atrium at Science North.   The event will include hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar and a premiere screening of the DMR film, Star Trek:The IMAX Experience.   

Guests are also invited to dress as their favourite Star Trek character for this event.  Tickets are $25 (plus GST) and available on-line at http://sciencenorth.ca/imax or by calling (705) 523-IMAX (4629).

Audiences will be virtually transported onboard the U.S.S. Enterprise to experience the non-stop action and mind-blowing visual effects in a larger-than-life way that only IMAX can deliver. Star Trek has been 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.

“I’m thrilled that audiences will be able to experience this new, epic world of Star Trek – with an incredible cast and mind-blowing visual effects – on what is, obviously, the most remarkable film format in the world,” said director J.J. Abrams.

The greatest adventure of all time begins with “Star Trek,” the incredible story of a young crew’s maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy, and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind.

The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.
