Star Trek: The IMAX Experience to open on May 7, 2009 at the Spacedome IMAX® Theater at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center

HUNTSVILLE, AL – On May 7th, fans and moviegoers of all ages should prepare to embark on an intergalactic journey like no other when the highly anticipated Star Trek opens at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s Spacedome IMAX® Theater. Audiences will be virtually transported onboard the U.S.S. Enterprise to experience the non-stop action and mind-blowing visual effects in a larger-than-life way that only IMAX can deliver. With crystal clear images, laser-aligned digital sound and maximized field of view, IMAX provides the world’s most immersive movie experience. Star Trek: The IMAX Experience will debut concurrently with the nationwide release in conventional theatres from Paramount Pictures.

“I’m thrilled that audiences will be able to experience this new, epic world of Star Trek – with an incredible cast and mind-blowing visual effects – on what is, obviously, the most remarkable film format in the world.” said director J.J. Abrams

The greatest adventure of all time begins with “Star Trek,” the incredible story of a young crew’s maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy, and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind.

The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before!
