by the time we got to IMAX, we were half a thousand strong

At the Reading IMAX, waiting for them to begin seating. Star Trek FTW! Damned if I'm not as giddy as a schoolgirl right now.

And I'm not the only one. This place is ROCKING.

How do you know when you're queueing for a serious geek film? There are people sitting on the floor quietly reading amidst all the din and chatter and general mayhem. Complete strangers are engaging in thoughtful debate on Old Trek vs New Trek, and the merits of Enterprise.

Ah, they're starting to let people in, slowly, and in stages. Trying to avoid a stampede. Wise move... this place could explode at any moment.
