I see the Amazon page has a bunch of text touting that the phaser replica is "exactly the same as the ones in the movie" and I can't help but think I'll be disappointed if I don't decide to cancel this preorder... oh well.
Thanks for the heads up! This looks like a great deal and I hope it turns out to be exactly that!!

Is it locked to stun? I'm hoping not.

Yeah, I saw it in IMAX 3D yesterday and it was just awesome from start to finish. Tempted to see it again in fact, which is a rarity for me these days.

Disagree with everyone. Saw it, thought it was average. At least they didnt have to write a script. Hey let's just do everything opposite in this crazy new universe!

I agree, this movie is ok but not "great" like everyone is trying to make it to be. I think most people that fawn for this movie are big fans of 09 and not really into the show or the original movies, imo.

[quote name='SMBScooby']Make sure you watch it in IMAX not IMAX experience.[/QUOTE]
What is the difference? I have 2 Imax theaters near me, one of them was one of the first few theaters to have an Imax screen but they both say "experience" when I check movie listings.
I feel like watching it again in 3D, I watched an early showing last weekend and I was left pleasantly entertained.

No idea the difference. I saw it in "IMAX" which is a lot bigger and somewhat rounded screen. A "real" IMAX is 4x that size thiugh. I'm pretty sure they call the one I went to IMAX and not experience though. I and others call it "Mini IMAX". Google it.

Here is an article that explains it
http://thepixelpulse.com/2011/12/what-is-an-imax-experience-and-why-should-you-care/
40 minutes of the movie was shot in IMAX. When you watch it in a real IMAX screen most of the movie is in letter box format but when the scene where an IMAX camera was used it actualy fills the whole screen.

There's only one real IMAX theatre in NYC (well 2 counting the one at the Natural history museum) the rest are "LieMax" theatres. If I'm paying IMAX prices, I'm going to see it in the legit ones.
The biggest IMAX I've ever been too was at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, that thing is insane.

Was anyone else given a free Star Trek poster for seeing thr IMAX version?
[quote name='SMBScooby']It was only given out to the 8:01pm showing the day before release date.[/QUOTE]
I received some posters like that for The Hobbit, they were actually pretty cool, I wish I would have scored some Star Trek ones.
I found this article reagarding Imax and Liemax. I guess the one I was referring too, Edwards Ontario Mills 22 is an official screen. That sucker is huge, I've actually watched quite a few Imax movies there.

Not true, A true Trekkie would agree with me that this isn't a bad movie but it isn't great either. Another ST fan went with me and enjoyed all of it till about the last part of the movie. I won't spoil it but needless to say most Trekkie fans probably think the same thing. What made 09 different was that it was completely off the wall with the whole alternate universe. Into The Darkness robs something from somewhere reverses it instead of something unique.

Go and watch Enterprise, TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, and all the original movies then let us know if you like the franchise then you might be able to call yourself a Trekkie. Till then your a JJ Abrhams fan.:

Terrible statement.
Thats like saying a TRUE star wars fan likes everything star wars.
Which to wit I would point you to originaltrilogy.com
Prequels are really terrible films, only III is bareable to watch.
Still a freaking travesty that I cant get an official blu ray release of the GOUT (George's Original Unaltered Trilogy) and have to resort to fan made versions, that while fantastic, are not the real deal...

The 3D release alone is worth around $25, so the Phaser is costing you about $55. If sold separately, I'd guess that it would sell for around $50, so it's not really that overpriced for what's included in my opinion.
It depends on how limited it is too. If there's very few then it could sell out and become valuable. But if Amazon has a ton of them, then it could go down the path of other Amazon exclusives and show up in lighting deals, or on Black Friday for much less
Here's some more details, straight from the makers. It sounds like a quality product.

The only thing is if you miss it when it is on sale you are going to pay a good price for it a good example is the Alien anthology with the light up statue.

Umm.. True stare wars fans DO love everything star wars. It's kid of dumb to be like "I love star trek, but i hate ENT, VOY, and DS9" Then be more specific and say you love TOS and TNG and thats it. Trekkies love all things Trek. While they might not love them all an equal amount, they still enjoy it. I wasn't a huge fan of Enterprise but I still liked it and would watch it again. I love TNG and DS9 the most, even more than TOS. But I will watch ANYTHING Star Trek related at ANY time. Hell I just watched all 11 movies before seeing Into Darkness, just because.
But the same for Star Wars. Sure, Anakin is an annoying kid and Jar Jar makes you want to kill yourself, but it was STILL Star Wars and I still enjoyed it enough to watch it more times afterwards. It may be my LEAST favorite, but I don't hate it. And I also don't pass judgement on something until I've seen everything in the series, be it TV or movies. That's just me though. But a Trekkie is someone who eats sleeps and breathes Trek of all kinds and not just "oh i love the JJ movies" I loved both JJ movies too, and I loved them because I love alternate timeline stuff and knowning what I know about the normal timeline, it made me love them even more because of all the subtle things. Like Bones saying he liked Spock in the first movie but then later starts to show his dislike for Spock, or the spock/kirk role reversal from WoK, Vulcan being destroyed, etc..etc..OK I'm ranting. Sorry. I love Star Trek more than Star Wars, but I still can watch every Star Trek show and love it overall and I can watch any of the 6 Star Wars movies and love it too. Darth Maul is badass. OK end rant.
