    I'll echo @Sildani's sentiment, I had a blast. Ours was a smaller theater probably about 50-person capacity, and I'd say it was about half full. My wife had never seen this movie, my brother in law is a huge Trek fan and he had never seen it on the big screen, nor had I or my father in law. The 10 minute intro with the SFX team about the models was great! As an avid modeler, I really enjoyed that! This movie isn't for everyone, and I understand the dislike for it, not one phaser firing!!! Haha! That being said, I never really liked it or disliked it, it was basically a Star Trek movie that you saw on cable on Sunday afternoon as a teenager and thought, yeh ok, I'll watch that one again. Now that I'm older, it really IS a love letter from the SFX model builders to Star Trek. My GOD the models in this were just breathtaking on the big screen. I know they did use CGI in this new version intermixed with the original all be it cleaned up SFX shots, but the entire experience is still quite moving on a large format screen. The sound and picture at our theater was perfect. Surround was on, subs were ON, musical soundtrack and dialog were well balanced and not overbearing. The picture was amazing. Looked like a brand new movie apart from some of the bridge shots especially in the wormhole sequence, but it is what it is. 10/10 for quality and the restoration of the original. New shots of the VGER ship were brief, but welcome! Already got our tickets for KAHN in September!!! Load photon torpedoes!

    The fruits of my labor yesterday....Most complete mockup pics to date...A better man might light each single deck, but at this scale...I don't have the skill to do it. 1/200 would be another story. Each of the upper decks will get SOME light now though, and in the end I think it will be fine. Still a million things to do, but starting to feel slightly better about this whole endeavor! (saying that quietly, don't want to jinx myself)....

    @pengbuzzThe old Enterprise and Rickaru are look GREAT! SDF-1 never gets old that BIG! Great mods to that! Titanic UPDATE - Actual REAL progress today - Step 1 - Mark lines for additional spaces to cut for lighting to shine up. Step 2 - Drill guide holes using micro drill - Step 3 - Carefully cut out new holes using hot knife. BAM! Lots of new spaces for LED lights in hull to shine up through. Tomorrow... final small upper deck light blocking and more coloring of planks..UHHHGGGG. SOooo sick of doing that! ONWARD!
