Chesterfield’s Non-IMAX Experience

I thought it was me.

The anticipation of seeing Star Trek on a giant 70 ft. IMAX screen, and with the incredible surround sound, was completely diminished when I entered the new Chesterfield 20 IMAX theater to see Trek. The screen was small. WAY too small. Then the movie started; but it looked okay, and the sound was definitely incredible.

The movie was good enough that I let it sucker me in.

But I did not come away thinking I had an IMAX experience though — it looked just like any other movie in a theater.

Turns out — according to Harry — it’s one of the “fake” IMAX theaters that are going up around the country. And now we have one right here in Chesterfield.

Here’s Harry with the story.
