Star Trek Beyond To Be Released In The Panoramic Barco Escape Format
by Brian Drew, TrekMovie
The Enterprise will look more spectacular than ever when Paramount and Bad Robot release a special version of Star Trek Beyond for the fledgling Barco Escape cinema format.
Barco Escape is an ultra-widescreen process that projects a film across three stitched-together screens that wraps around the front of the theater, delivering a more panoramic and immersive experience. The process is reminiscent of the old Cinerama format, which had its heyday in the 1960s.
Star Trek Beyond was shot for traditional theatrical exhibition, so Bad Robot is retrofitting the film to accommodate the wider format. From The Hollywood Reporter:.........

Barco's hope is to have the film playing on up to 50 screens this July, just in time for STB's release. LINK to see map; it looks like the west coast so far.
Star Trek Beyond will hit the big (and bigger) screen on July 22.

John Cho: Star Trek Beyond Feels Like The Best Of The Original Series
May 6, 2016 | By: Brian Drew TrekMovie
John Cho has a very good feeling about Star Trek Beyond.
size=18]The actor spoke to Famous Monsters magazine as part of their special issue celebrating Star Trek's 50th Anniversary. He talks a great deal about the much-anticipated third installment in the rebooted film series, and we've got a few excerpts.
Cho describes the adjustment that he and the rest of the cast had to make to new director Justin Lin and his approach to the material:[/size]
| Quote: | | [Justin Lin] cared about the mythology, he cared about the world, he cared about getting it right, he cared about moving the characters forward. I think we all had question marks; it's tough to be told that the guy you made two successful movies with isn't going to be helming the third one. But we were all just really pleasantly surprised as we eased into working with him. |
Simon Pegg and Doug Jung are writing the screenplay this time around, and Cho says they brought a very particular feeling to the story:
| Quote: | | What you're going to get when you ask Simon Pegg to pen a script is a very human touch. And a warm touch. And that can come out in comedy, but doesn't necessarily have to. And there are some funny moments. But I think he and [co-writer Doug Jung], from what I could tell, were constantly looking for connections between the characters. And that, from the cast perspective, was what was spectacular about asking Simon and Doug to do it. It just felt like they were looking for human moments. |
Cho feels that the film really captures the spirit of TOS:
| Quote: | | When I read the script, my emotional impression was that it felt very much like the best of the original series. It felt like the series felt to me. And the first [film] that we made didn't entirely feel like that to me. |
The rest of Cho's interview will be available on newsstands and as well as digitally via Magzster.com June 7. The issue will also feature interviews with Nichelle Nichols, Rod Roddenberry, and a great deal more.

This is extremely encouraging, and if they make this movie the way it's being described above, I hope it makes twice as much dough as the other two and shows the executives that this is what the fans really want.

Oh my!
Next, we'll have to buy 140 inch wide, curved, Barco Escape televisions and new Blu-ray players that can play the new 17 inch diameter Blu-ray discs that hold 900 Gbs / per side! |

I especially enjoyed the five-second scene in which the Enterprise was NOT being shredded to pieces. 
I wonder if that part is actually longer in the movie, or was that all of it?

I'll savor every second of that version of the Enterprise being shredded.
(Whew! Almost forgot to enlarge the text!)

WARNING: SPOILERS
Getting more than just a first look at the new trailer, fans at the first ever Star Trek Fan event at Paramount Studios last Friday were treated to about 10 minutes of (pre-title) footage from Beyond that haven't yet made it to the web. Here is the blow-by-blow of what was seen.
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD!
By: Kayla Iacovino, Trekmovie.com
LAST WARNING!!!!!!
The first scene opens with a shot of Captain Kirk in his quarters as a classic Captain's Log monologue is being recited by the captain. He talks about the monotony of spending so much time out in space, his words mirrored by his actions as he goes through the motions of getting ready for his day. After washing his face in the sink, a shirtless Chris Pine (you're welcome, ladies) opens his closet door revealing a rack of identical gold Captain's tunics. Kirk laments that each day seems to blur into the next.
Everything feels so episodic, says Kirk as we see our favorite characters living their daily lives 3 years into their 5 year mission.
We see the captain walking down a corridor on the Enterprise and onto the bridge. He is carrying a mug with a stylized Starfleet insignia.
He talks about how all this time out in space has taken a toll on the crew and how each of them have made sacrifices. As the camera pans over Sulu hard at work at his console, we spot a photograph of his daughter placed on his work station.
As Kirk sits down in the captain's chair, he spills his morning coffee on his clean tunic. It's one of those days.
In the next scene, Kirk and Bones are talking in a private room (we see parts of this scene in the new trailer, where Kirk tells Bones he joined Starfleet for all the wrong reasons). They are discussing the fact that Kirk's birthday is coming up, but Kirk reminds his ship's doctor why he doesn't like to talk about this particular day of the year not only was it the day he was born, it was also the day his father died (as we saw in Star Trek 2009). This will be a particularly rough birthday since this year, Kirk tells McCoy, he will be one year older than his father ever was.
Despite Kirk's woes, McCoy breaks out a celebratory drink a bottle of whisky he stole from Chekov's locker. The pair share a joke at how they both assumed Chekov would be a vodka guy.
Let's keep this birthday thing under wraps, Kirk says to McCoy.
While the pair share this tender moment, the ship is attacked, and they run to their duty stations.
The final scene is total sci-fi action. This is the scene we've seen so much of in the first and second trailers where the Enterprise is attacked and torn to shreds during an onslaught attack by a swarm of small ships. The final touches haven't yet been put on the CG (although you can hardly tell they're close), and so instead of one continuous scene, we saw bits and pieces cut together. But, it all looked great.
Immediately seeing that the Enterprise isn't equipped for this kind of swarm attack, the captain orders Sulu to warp the ship out of there. He tries but is unable to engage the engines. Kirk sends a message to Scotty to get warp power up and running immediately. But, all Scotty can do is watch in horror on his console and relay to the captain, The nacelles. they're gone. We see a shot of the exterior of the ship as the nacelles break off and fall away from the body of the Enterprise.
As the crew begin to realize that the Enterprise isn't going to make it out of this one, the Captain orders everyone to their escape pods. We watch as crewmen run to single-person pods, barely large enough to fit a human, which are then shot out into space and hurtle toward the planet below. Some of the pods get struck down by the enemy swarm only moments after ejecting.
This nail biting scene ramps up as more pods are ejected and the Big E is torn into more and more pieces. At the climax of the scene, NOT CORRECT the STAR TREK BEYOND title card comes over the screen.

This is one Enterprise I won't mind seeing destroyed. I might even cheer.
