Home Theater Transformed Into Star Trek Bridge

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can-shutup dept.

gevmage writes "Gary Reign, a guy with apparently way too much time on his hands, built a home theater in his basement. This is not unusual. However, the room is designed, floor to ceiling, as the bridge of a Star Trek style starship. See his photo page for details."

      We are Slashdot. Lower your firewalls and prepare for decimation. Your biological and technological distinctiveness is already similar to our own. Resistance is futile.

    It looks like he did a lot of work, and it looks authentic.

    However, there's one photo missing: one of these days, he'll have to sell that house. I want a picture of the real estate agent's face when they see that room!

  10. entertaining! by CheeseTroll · · Score: 5, Funny

    Even if you're not a Trekkie, immersing yourself into a different environment like this would make for a more interesting experience. After all, isn't the point of such a room to entertain?

    What I really want to know, though, is whether he requires his guests to lean dramatically back and forth during chase scenes?

      All I can say is that if he invites you over to watch a movie do not, I repeat, do not wear red.
