We've been talking a lot about this upcoming 'Star Trek Into Darkness' preview, hitting IMAX theaters starting December 14, but the question of exactly where you can view the footage was left up in the air... until now. With the first official movie poster and teaser trailer already making the rounds, it's time to gear up for this in-depth preview. Click ahead to find out where you can watch it.

Thanks to the official 'Star Trek Into Darkness' website, which also states that this nine-minute footage is actually the "first nine minutes of the film," you can locate the closest IMAX theater to your location that'll be screening the preview. And if that doesn't get you all amped up, here's what IMAX Filmed Entertainment Chairman and President Greg Poster had to say about it:

Our longtime partners J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk and the Bad Robot team have really hit it out of the park – the footage is absolutely incredible. ... Their use of the IMAX Camera and canvas is sure to impress current and future Star Trek fans alike, and we’re thrilled to once again work with our friends at Paramount Pictures to offer this extended ‘first look’ at this highly anticipated summer blockbuster.

Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays the film's mysterious villain, joins the cast from the first flick -- including Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana and Karl Urban -- for 'Star Trek Into Darkness.' The 'Sherlock' star is rumored to be playing Khan in the sequel, but no official statement has been released, and the recently debuted poster and trailer have only furthered our suspicions. Give us your theories on what we might see from the preview in the comments, and click the below link to find a nearby participating IMAX theater.
