I remember watching it in the TV lounge of my college dorm. That must have
been the 3rd season. (Yes, college students of today, we used to all gather in
front of the one TV and vote what show to watch. No private TVs in our rooms,
and certainly no Netflix. Oh, and no coed dorms.)
If I remember right, the other must-watch evening show was Rowan & Martin’s
Laugh In. And Rocky & Bullwinkle in the morning.

50 years. Wow. I remember watching the original on a B&W CRT when it was in
real time and a brand new series.
Signal was conveyed from a giant rhombic antenna on a hill about a half mile
away down 425 ohm ladder line.

Saw it last night.
I like the subtlety in the plot points. They didn't spend lots of time
explaining it like I'm 5, but gave me enough clues to piece everything
together.
I'd say it was a lot headier than the the previous 2 movies.
I like that they started from year 3 of the five year mission....meaning it
begins at the end of the original series, so the timeline from the original
series could still have played out roughly the same. Although presumably they
could not have found Kahn out there.
I was a little perplexed during the Sabotage scene.....but I can't really get
into that without spoilers.

Projector was on its last legs, you need to go find another showing.
It was not "generations"ish...

Jay,
Was it dark for you? And I mean literally dark as in can't see the
characters in some of the scenes. I'm wondering if the projector in this
theater was on its last legs or if that was by design.

Did women run up to the stage and flash their breasts? That seems to
have been a thing at Bon Jovi concerts.
Oh, and did I hear Richie Sambora left the band or died or something?

I just went to a Bon Jovi concert about a year ago... one of the best
concerts I have ever been to... he was on stage performing for almost 3 hours
straight... pretty amazing.

I guess it’s been awhile since I’ve been to an IMAX theater, the last
time was to see Shine A Light. Took my son. He got the genuine rock concert
experience - he was deaf for about 2 days. (although it’s tough to tell if a
millennial is deaf or just ignoring you) Your dB meter would probably have
been off the scale.
Both my kids are probably deaf because of me, I took my daughter to a
Bon Jovi concert when she was about 10 (her idea, not mine). Everyone but the
two of us were of the age to have been teenagers in 1985, I guess hair bands
have a very specific fan base.

I have a dB spl app on my I phone. I see many movies exceeding 90 dBm
and that is uncomfortable for me.
85 is a nice comfortable limit. Even with my old ears.
My kids are fine watching a move at 75 or 80.
I broke it out in church last week because I thought the organist was a
bit heavy on the gas pedal. Yep, he was hitting 92 dB.

Star Trek:. Beyond
The first thing I noticed was how ultimately large the IMAX screen is.
I also thought the speakers are incredibly loud. Maybe even louder
than Chuck mccown's personal home theatre.
The acting was supurb...the audience is very patient and of the mixed
race variety.
The local advertisements and "screen vision" promos prevented parts of
the showing from being overly boring....but just barely.
Stay tuned for further developments / breaking news. Showing starts in
25 minutes.
Maybe I'll even beat Mccown to the review..
