By the grace of WHNT NEWS 19 (got to love being married to the graphic artist, police deputy of the station brand), we were able to spend Tuesday evening at the space and rocket center space dome theater watching the Huntsville premier of the new Star Trek movie. This was my first visit to the space dome. Joe tried to explain what it would be like, but this was something that I had to experience to really get a grasp for. Its a really cool place.The movie screen really is a big dome that surrounds you. Unfortunately we walked in just before the movie started, so our seats were close to the bottom. We spent the whole evening looking stright up to where the action was happening. For a movie that is designed for a hortizontial widescreen theater, watching it projected onto an IMAX concave screen is quite the different experience. Alot of times the movie was so action-packed that it was hard to tell what was going on, since it was so big. Almost like taking a picture on a computer screen and zooming into a section. When you're zoomed in so close its hard to tell what is going on.
It was a great movie, we will have to go and see it again at a regular theater in a couple of weeks, after all the hype dies down some.
About two-thirds of the way through it was a little too much for my body to handle and I had to look away to avoid getting motion sickness.
I guess the overall lesson to be learned here is if you go see a movie at the space dome, make sure you get there early enough to get a good seat at the top... It's probably much better experience from there.
We've been in that theater too. I loved it, but when we went we took Lincoln and Logan and Linc was terrified the entire time. He doesn't like loud noises. :) Glad you guys had fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Amber, it was great to hear from you. How are you guys? I did not know your email address so I thought I would write on your blog. I bought the 3-D cupcake from Michael's. It was about $30. So worth it!!!!
