Fans can get their trekkie on at the Imax at Cinemark starting this weekend, but only for the late, late show.

"Star Trek," the fantastic new vision of the sci-fi classic, will debut Saturday in a midnight showing at the Imax theater at 71st Street and U.S. 169.

Then it will play at midnight on Friday and Saturday evenings for at least a couple of weekends, and maybe for up to a month, said Claudia Douglas, Cinemark manager.

Tulsa's Imax theater, at 257 seats, is one of the smaller units of the giant-screen operation, and was left out of the two-week run of "Star Trek" at select Imax locations nationwide.

All Imax theaters begin showing the sequel "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" on Friday, knocking "Star Trek" off other Imax screens and allowing a print to make its way to Tulsa for midnight movies.

"Star Trek," starring a young new crew depicting Capt. Kirk, Spock and the rest of the TV and film series original characters, has proven to be both a financial and critical success.

The film generated almost $150 million in its first 10 days of release and glowing reviews, including my own: Set phasers for fun with this edition of "Star Trek."
