Update to our Star Trek screening on opening night this week: Tickets are now available at Eventbrite. This is a Thursday, May 7 screening at 7 p.m. in Redwood City at the Century 20 theater (it’s new, and awesome). This is the earliest the public can see the movie, so you’ll be among the first to experience it. The theater holds 600 people.
We’re paying for the price of the ticket, and charging a $2 fee to minimize no shows. After the show we’ll meet at the nearby (it’s changed) Red Lantern for a drink or three. If additional sponsors (thanks, EventBrite!) come in there may be free drinks and popcorn. If you are interested in sponsoring or getting a demo booth at the meetup, email asad at techcrunch.
If you aren’t attending, please do not purchase a ticket. No shows mean an empty seat and you won’t be able to attend future TechCrunch events. If you email us that you can’t attend, we can fill that spot later.
See you Thursday!
Cant wait – it releases on my birthday!
I only wish you guys had such cool screening in UK. Any chance of having one soon?
the Trekkie era is over. Facebook & twitter is the best thing since sliced bread. The movie will probably bomb because it isn’t based off a best selling children’s book. htp://iamned.com/blog/ no recession in web 2.0.
I JUST saw the movie and its amazing. Enough fan-boy references without eing smug; great storyline with good twists and turns; amazing effects and stellar casting. Spock OWNS this film….he’s the real star, and maybe that’s key to making it modern and unique.
Wow! Thanks for posting that! I, for one, love spoilers and people that post them! I will say I was on the fence about spending a whole $2.00 on this – (and what’s up with ONLY an 80% discount here, TC? -why not 100%?!?!) After your glowing comment here, I can safely say that I am jumping in with both feet! Look out world! OH btw, can you post about other upcoming summer blockbuster movies, too? That would really help!
You guys need to do this more. The last one was so long ago.
Definately not the earliest the public can see it, my local cinema has a screening at 12am tonight.
Thanks, Mike!
Wish I could make it. Enjoy the show.
BTW, this is NOT the earliest that the public in LA will get to see the movie. There is a 5 pm PST show at the Arclight Hollywood that is the earliest – if you are a Arclight member you should have got that invite and bought your ticket – score!
Sorry Mike, already saw it on Sunday at Oakridge in San Jose. Great flick though.
I’m going to see it in about 12h tonight in Berlin.
Oh, already sold out
I plan on attending, along with my lovely lady friend who also likes Star Trek.
Oh, already sold out
Sold out or not. I am sure that was just the first wave. My friends are excited.

sad I’m not in Palo Alto yet, just hoping we do this again for Transformers
Just seen the VERY first public showing in English anywhere, in Munich! 8pm on Wed 6th!
It was great! So much better than the StarWars prequels…
Enjoy!!! It should do really well!

Well darn. I saw this early and there was no way to sign up. I tweeted you that there wasn’t a way to sign up — of course when I check back you’ve fixed it and already sold out. I’ll check it out somewhere else.
Hey Mike,
I was a little bit too late to get the ticket online. I wonder if you can spare a 2-3 tickets for “cuties” girls from Startup space. We may consider Techcrunch exclusive release or story. We are smart girls that codes. Don’t you need “cuties” founders to mix up with the pure male attendance? We’ll dress up to come if you offer.
You know who I am and where to find me
Mike, need some Trekkie help!
I have been running a guest series on my innovation blog – how tech has influenced hobbies/passions. Up to 55 so far – CIOs, vendor execs, analysts have contributed on everything from snorkeling to soprano to skiing
