This was our first IMAX experience. The big screen made the action seem more realistic and 'IN YOUR FACE'. The sound took getting used to, at first I thought our neighbors were chatting then realized it was the movie. This was also my first Star Trek movie. Never been a big sci fi fan, my boyfriend dragged me to this one. More entertaining than I anticipated, even a little comic relief. All in all, worth the time and a few extra bucks to see it on the big, BIG screen.
