Already have my cool geeky iPhone tickets. lol.
I'm on vacation that week to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. So what better way than to see a Star Trek movie!!!
Full details about the event....
We can officially report that the upcoming Season 3 theatrical celebration of Star Trek: The Next Generation has been scheduled for Thursday, April 25... and will feature the much-anticipated movie-length edit of "The Best of Both Worlds" on the big screen!
Tickets are on sale now!
Along with the ninety-minute, completely remastered screening of the episodes, the CBS/Fathom event will also feature a look at the disc-exclusive documentary featurette, entitled "Regeneration: Engaging the Borg". If we're lucky, we may also get a glimpse at the all-new "Best of Both Worlds" gag reel, which will also be included with the Blu-ray when it's released on April 30.
Currently, the only theaters scheduled to show the event are in the United States, and like Season 2, it doesn't look like the event will extend to Canadian theaters. Here is the official write-up for the event from Fathom:
Fathom Events and CBS Home Entertainment are coming together again to celebrate Season 3 of the iconic series Star Trek: The Next Generation® in a special one night big screen event. For the first time ever, The Best of Both Worlds will be shown bigger and better as a full-length presentation only on Thursday, April 25th at 7:00 PM (local time) in select cinemas nationwide.
This not to be missed movie theater event will feature one of the most memorable moments in TV history and exclusive clips about the making of The Best of Both Worlds and Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 3.
Set in the 24th century, The Next Generation was created by Gene Roddenberry over 20 years after the original Star Trek series. The Next Generation became the longest running series of the Star Trek franchise, consisting of 178 episodes over 7 seasons. Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Best of Both Worlds is the first opportunity to see The Best of Both Worlds, one of the greatest TV episodes of all time, as a gloriously remastered full-length feature in select movie theaters nationwide on Thursday, April 25th at 7:00 PM (local time).
Resistance is futile so buy your tickets today!

Of all the episodes they've shown this way, this is the one I'm the most envious over. It would be great to see on a big screen.
To all those who go, please enjoy it for me!
OH hells yeah, thanks for the reminder, I gotta go to this.
I missed the first two. I'm not missing this one.
Just bought my ticket. So excited.
So much fun seeing this tonight in the theater. Very full house there too. My friend Mark and I went and had a great time. The bloopers alone were worth the admission price. The behind the scenes stuff was great too. And the episodes looked amazing and still rocked!
Riker: "Mr. Worf. Fire!"
Woohoo!
Yeah it was kinda packed where we went as well. Pleased to see that. Everyone cracked up when Picard first says to Data "Sleeeep" and Crusher is like, "he must be exhausted". That was funny. :)
Full house here in North Austin too. All that behind the scenes stuff was amazing, and I love the contrast between old & new shots before the film started. Real mix of ages too - I'd also say it was a 50/50 split on gender. Great time.
There were a few crack up lines that perhaps weren't supposed to be funny but were, like Shelby being referred to as "just an old mans fantasy" right at the start :o lol!
Also the BluRays of Next Gen are on sale right now on amazon. SO tempting - their upselling could work on me. :/
How was the quality on the big screen? Was it grainy?
It wasn't grainy in the slightest, crystal clear in fact. The special features were so quality!! And the bloopers... so funny! GREAT TIMES!
I got to meet Chrystabel (Amy) from the forums here! First time we have met! She and her husband Neil are such great people. Next time we are going to have dinner with them before we go to the show.
I love Star Trek, what a cool family.
Awesome Rick that you and Amy got to meet up. Yeah, this event was great! Best yet. Mark and I cracked up actually too at several points during some pretty serious moments. The bloopers were so good!
Blast it! I didn't get to go see this but I'm buying it when it comes out on the 30th!!! Or at least soon after it's released.

Oh man, that was so hilarious and creepy at the same time
The wife bought me this today!!! She went during her lunch break and its a good thing she did! She found the last one they had at our local Best Buy. One of the employees helped her find it. She had a rewards check and price matched it to Wal-Mart so we got it for $11 bucks!!!! We watched it already and it was really cool! I watched the gag reel which was funny. Didn't watch the featurette yet called "Regeneration: Engaging the Borg." It says it's a new featurette.
I won't be able to buy the blu-ray seasons so I'm glad this was released. I wouldn't mind them releasing "Redemption" and "Unification" like this. Probably not "Time's Arrow."
I came close to buying this on Blu-Ray but I canceled my order last Saturday. I decided I wasn't gonna be a Borg and assimilate whatever Paramount/CBS throws out there anymore. It's enough that I'm collecting the season sets, and season four is coming early Summer, so it's not like I have to wait forever for the next part. $11.99 is a tempting price but I think in this case resistance is not futile.
