I’m 44 and this is my most treasured Boston memory
Man, such a trip down memory lane. I'm 37 now and it's been at least 20 years since I've been to the Omni Theater, but I still remembered every second of this intro video.
38 here same prob 20 years.
@@jeremyfowler1519 I'm 37 and I grew up 7 blocks from the Science Museum. Watching this brings up wicked nostalgia.
@@JKillackey62183 me too. Well nostalgia I didn’t live that close unfortunately. Lol
Childhood memory unlocked
Man this brings back memories. I'm 36,soon to be 37,and i have many fond memories of grade school and junior high field trips to the Museum of Science and the Omni Theater. It was unique,i would be gripping my seat as we flew over Boston,and that distinctive baritone Spock voice booming from the speakers. This was more than a decade before HD television,hell even 5-10 years before the internet was invented. I was actually thinking about those field trips and the intro by nimoy the other day,and when he passed,i really wanted to see and hear it again. This is great. RIP to a legend as well,he did live long,and he did prosper,and may he continue to prosper even into the afterlife.
As Spock once said,logic is the beginning of wisdom,not the end!
This is the first thing that tends to come to mind when I think about Nimoy, as well. I used to feel like I was going to fall frontwards out of my seat during the helicopter flight, but my favorite part was the high-speed ride down Storrow Drive. It's been more than ten years since I left New England, and this video makes me a little homesick!
FWIW, I suspect that Spock quote is derived from a verse in Psalms, "Reishis chochma yiras Hashem," or "The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the L-rd."
Jason Sylvia came here for this. I had little pictures of memories of this opening, wanted to see the whole thing again
You deserve a Nobel Prize for bootlegging this. I'm not even joking. Thanks!
I just took my kids to the omni theater today for their first time. I knew I wasn't going to see the opening of my childhood but I secretly hoped maybe I would. I'm so excited to watch it here! Brilliant! I absolutely love it! I wish they would bring it back... it was always my favorite part.
This was sometimes better than what they were showing. Always looked forward to it, I was so disappointed when it was gone!
My god....I don't think I've ever commented on a UA-cam video before, but I was so happy to see this video and the intro (who put the bomp...) video here! Thank you for preserving them. I've never forgotten than Leonard Nimoy grew up 3 blocks from the Museum!
"Who put the bomp?"
In the bomop
I went to the Omni Theater today for the first time in decades and I was so disappointed not to see the intro I remember. I came to UA-cam to find it. Thank you for capturing and posting this nostalgia.
May his memory live long and prosper.
I miss this intro. Glad to get a little trip down memory lane through this video.
For uploading this, you are a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful person.
Still get a little chill from the last minute. Thanks!
Wow I remember this thank you for posting this gem
3:24 was my favorite part...just about to crash then the scene changes lol
For those who are unfamiliar, this was the routing from the Tobin Bridge through the Central Artery before it all went underground.
@@kespeth2 yes that area was very difficult to drive in during decent traffic if you were unfamiliar
RIP Leonard
So many memories watching this intro in the 80s, 90s.. thanks for uploading!
Same here!
I remember this!
NEW ENGLAND PRIDE! BOSTON STRONG!
I remember seeing this as a kid a couple of months after it opened! Must have been around 1986-1987 if I recall.
Memories for sure - thanks for uploading!!!
my pleasure =)
Thank you for the memories! I loved this opening so much!
I still remember that the Grand Canyon film was one of the first, going down the rapids, LOL, I'm dizzy thinking about it. But it was so much fun!
I remember seeing this before "Ring of Fire"... was so disappointed when I went back and they changed it
2:02 scared me so bad as a kid.
I used to love this beginning as a kid at the Boston museum of science more then the show sometimes. 😂
The very first time I went to the Theatre when it opened (I would have been 9 or 10 at the time) the part at 3:12 had me gripping my seat, thinking I would fall out.
I've just come back from my first trip to the omni theater in about 20 years. I used to go to every new imax showing when i was younger, and though i still love the new digitized and globally focused intro..... there's something so nostalgic about this one. Thank you for posting it.
I can hear the projector running.
I thought I was making this up...
Good God I miss Larry Bird's mullet.
ha, i still remember people squirming in their seats
1987
hahah "Gooday!"
Does anyone know what year this is from?Some of the pictures look like the mid-eighties. Being a "Time Capsule" is it being constantly updated?
Thanks
I am one of those people. lol
Good day! Lol
