Star Trek to Be Re-Released in Imax Theaters

Variety reports that Paramount will re-release Star Trek in almost 100 Imax theaters on Friday.

    It's not as clear, because the Bluray is an HDMI conection and the cable is just an RCA conection. But I'm not too concerned about the clarity of TV. I'm a movie person, first and foremost.

    It will make more money, but I will just be happy when they release it on Bluray. My wife and I have a 7.1 Sony system and a pull down movie screen that's nine feet diagonally, so it will be just as good at our house. Ours is Imax JR.
