When we heard the name of the new Star Trek movie was Beyond, we assumed that was little more than a buzzword that made the title sound cool. It turns out, there was a little more to it than that. When Star Trek Beyond hits theaters this summer it wont simply be showing off cool science fiction technology. It will also be using some pretty cool technology to screen the film. Beyond will use Barcos Escape projection system to create a three-screen panoramic image of the final frontier.
Barco has been showing off its Escape technology, which projects images not only in front of you, but on two additional screens on the sides of the theater, for a couple of years now. Previously, the biggest theatrical releases to use the technology has been the Maze Runner movies. However, now the tech will be used for its largest production to date, Justin Lins Star Trek Beyond. Bad Robot is reportedly remastering the film so that certain segments of it take advantage of all three screens. As much as 20 minutes or more of the total film will take advantage of the additional space. Ben Rosenblatt, the head of visual effects for Bad Robot told The Hollywood Reporter how the additional space could be utilized for the film.
"When you're on the bridge of the Enterprise, you might see additional coverage of the bridge. Or you might see the Enterprise coming across the screen and maybe you'll see more and the attacking forces. There are new ships and antagonists that are well suited to the expanded image."
