I haven't been to an IMAX since the late 80's in Las Vegas Ceasar's Palace for the space shuttle movie experience. So this was a treat for me to watch it in IMAX, and after seeing this movie, Im spoiled now. I will try to see every movie I can in IMAX. Star Trek, I've only watched the TV series, never got into the TNG and others. I thought the characters were great and the story was fun and and moved along well. Would of liked to see more development during Star Fleet Acadamy. But then that also takes away from time. Unless they went to 3 hours ! lol.... Bottom line though...Great Movie, Great IMAX experience.
