‘Star Trek: Picard’ Series Finale Gets Special Imax Live Screening (EXCLUSIVE)

Paramount+ and CBS Studios have announced an Imax Live screening opportunity for the final two episodes of their original series 'Star Trek: Picard.'

variety.com

"On Wednesday, April 19, ten participating Imax theaters in the U.S. will provide an early screening of the last two episodes of the third and final season, including the series finale, ahead of its Paramount+ debut on Thursday, April 20.

Tickets to the screenings are free and fans can sign up and register at Star Trek: Picard - The IMAX® Live Series Finale Event Page on Wednesday, April 12, at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. The exclusive screening event will take place at 10 participating Imax theaters in Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Orlando, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Dallas."

The message you get now is a bit confusing/misleading (I tried a couple different zip codes near/in those cities). You may need to wait until 10 am PT to try.

No screenings in Seattle. Location information is not accurate.

I put in 98052 zip code and it came up with Alderwood Mall. So... near Seattle, in Lynnwood.

Just tried link and it froze. Not meant to be for me, I guess. Back to the lazyboy and 85” tv on Thursday.

Don't want to spoil too much here, but we're talking about S3:E9 at Star Trek: Picard - Vox S03E09 04-13-2023.

There was no Ready Room ep for S3:E9, or so we thought. Seemed like they were going to have a single one for E9 and E10 but then that's not the case. They just dropped one not long ago. Don't want to say the subject of it unless you're caught up. See above thread.

Wow! Really enjoyed ep 10!

I'm holding off on spoilers, for now.

If you wish, we are discussing it at Star Trek: Picard S03E10 - The Last Generation *SPOILERS*. I'm sure social media has many threads about it. There was one last night on an FB group, only for those who'd seen ep 10.

To bad TNG franchise has come to a real end. RIP.

The TNG with the Enterprise crew has, but Lower Decks takes place in the same time frame.

I was more referring to the cast. They are starting to get really “long in the tooth” for another mini season return, like “Picard”.

We didn't watch until this evening. It was a better end then I predicted.

Patrick Stewart is 82, but he's healthy and working. At 80 my father was able to out hike me. He worked another 5 years and only retired because my mother couldn't keep the books anymore.

Most of the cast are in their 60s or early 70s which isn't that old anymore. All of them have been working steadily the last few years. Jonathan Frakes works more behind the camera than on it these days. He's been directing a lot of ST episodes the last few years.

If you look at their IMDB profiles all of them keep busy.

Their days of heavy physical roles is probably coming to an end, but there are plenty of roles, even in the ST universe for roles that aren't physically taxing. If Picard is spun off into a new series in the same time frame I could see the STNG actors coming back from time to time for day work.

Picard was created in the first place as an attempt to save CBS All Access, which became Paramount+. The streaming service was not doing well and Discovery, which was the flagship program was not very popular the first couple of seasons. Discovery has found its way now, but it was floundering. Bringing back Picard in a new series was a way to draw in viewers.

I heard about

. Am starting to watch it. I wonder if it'll get taken down. If it disappears, it was "Star Trek Picard Series Finale IMAX Q&A, 4/19/2023".

Someone at my work went to the SF IMAX showing and she said that popcorn and drinks were included. Someone in a Trek FB group posted a vertical video (probably taken by them) showing the cast entering the theater passing thru metal detectors.

My father is 92 and in good shape - but not "Working". If the cast is still planning to work, and "Picard" was highly reviewed, why not a fourth and fifth season?

I don't understand, why would one want to see it before one sees it? Nananana, hands over ears and eyes, i cant hear you. I'm gonna wait until I see it to see it.

Haven't yet watched E10 yet, either - no spoilers, please!

Patrick Stewart only signed on for three seasons. Looking on IMDB most of the TNG cast have full dance cards, most looks like one off and voice work. With the residuals from TNG royalties probably all of them are fairly comfortable financially. Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes are probably especially well off. Stewart has continued to do a lot of work since TNG and Frakes is a popular director in the ST franchise.

Doing a series is a grind for a couple of months minimum (for a 10 episode season like Picard). They may not want to do that.

There are rumors of a spin off show coming out of this focused on different characters than the old Enterprise crew, but in a show set in the same timeline, the old Enterprise crew could show up for an episode here and there.

Finally came out late last night/this morning.

Unfortunately, it's been taken down.
