Say what you will about JJ’s STAR TREK revamp, it kicked all kinds of butts at the box-office and schooled a whole lot of franchises on how to properly reboot. And for those like me who only got to see it once in theaters, here’s a bit of good news.
The film only had a 2-week run in IMAX screens when it was released last May, due to other “big” movies already booked in as well, even though a huge crappy mess of transforming robots isn’t any better on 22ft screens. So while we’re waiting for that November DVD release, Paramount will re-release Trek on over 100 IMAX screen this Friday for an additional 2-week run.
The move MIGHT simply be an attempt to boost its summer box-office numbers, but honestly I don’t care: I got a few days off coming and you bet your ass I’ll get me some Green Orion chick on that uber-giant screen!
