The star of NBC's "Parks and Recreation" and Judd Apatow's upcoming "Funny People," bought a ticket on Monday for "Star Trek: The IMAX Experience." Though it cost an extra $5 over a standard admission, he thought it would be worth it at the time. What Trekkie wouldn't want to see Kirk and Spock on a six-story screen? Instead, Aziz found himself in a theater with a screen only slightly larger than normal. He felt wronged and decided to channel his anger into a furious, obscenity-laced blog post that has spread like wildfire. He has even called for a boycott of the theater chains involved, writing, "REGAL, AMC, AND IMAX - YOU ARE LIARS!" Apparently, IMAX rolled out a digital projection system last year that can be easily installed in a normal movieplex and doesn't require those huge film reels of a traditional IMAX projector. The downside is that the screens of these "Fake IMAX" theaters -- as Aziz calls them -- can be as much as a quarter of the size of standard IMAX screen. |
