movie question

So I went and saw Wolverine (yeah!) and then went back outside and bought another ticket and went to see Star Trek (another yeah!).

I made it through and saw the clip after the credits on Wolverine, but Star Trek stretched me :) And rather than pee in the theater, I went to the restroom :) So my question is at the very end, Kirk gets his command and takes over from Pike. The next scene is on the Enterprise - what happened? And are there after credit bits?

Seriously, it was leave early or pee in my seat :) I decided to be nice .


I haven't thought through all the ramifications of the Star Trek changes, but just on first response, I enjoyed it. And I don't know enough of the background of X-Men to be upset (or not) by their changes to the canon, so I can't fuss at that :) I enjoyed it mostly - Jackman looked *fine*, thought Liev Schrieber(sp) was excellent and would really like to see more Gambit :) As always, there are too many characters to get any depth on them, which was disappointing. Thought throwing in Scott and Professor Xavier was cool - added plus of not wanting Scott dead two minutes after he appears (heh) - the idea of the de-aging of Prof X(and how cool was it that Stewart did that ::G::) was great, but looked very plastic to me.

Which brings up a second question... wait - okay, is this movie in any way related to X-Men canon? (any of it? 'cause I know they f*cked with it several times) Oh, and my question is moot anyway, because it's done after the other movies... Oh, well.... Forget that.

imax?

or DLP (digital projection)?

I'm not sure I've ever seen anything in IMAX - unless it was that surround-sound thing they used to have at Six Flags Over Georgia called the Chevy Show - where, basically, you watched some car being put through it's paces, but the huge - HUGE - screen and the surround sound made you feel like you were there - you hugged the curves, swaying with everyone else in the audience - and stopping was a total letdown. This was when I was a kid too - maybe it was a precursor?

I'd have to drive to Charlotte (70 min) to get to an IMAX - or maybe Columbia (90 min). Is it worth it? Do I have to wear those 3-D type of glasses (yes, I am an unknowing idiot and too lazy to google it.)?

DLP - we have here - is it worth paying the extra few dollars for a night movie? Or should I take a drive to Charlotte?


Man, it was cool seeing something on the big screen again. I don't think I've been in over a year - and I used to go constantly.
