J.J. Abrams' Star Trek


Recommended Posts

I never really liked Star Trek. My Dad was always obsessed with it but I always thought it was kinda stupid (don't hate!) I only watched some of next generation, but to be honest, it was just because Patrick Stewart is the ****. However the previews/trailers for this started to intrigue me. The latest actually makes me want to go see it :p Only part that's ****ing me off is Harold err John Cho is in it. Where's Kumar bro?! I don't know if I can take him seriously.

the skin color is different for a start but also the nose and chin are different and imo the facial ridges aren't the same. in any case the film is in a separate continuity so it doesn't matter.

This is a hunch, but I think during the future portion of this movie, it might show SOME Next Generation characters, the reason why I believe this, is that there is a comic called Star Trek Countdown, and it shows Romulus being destroyed, well if you look closely, it shows Romulus being whiped out by that system's sun going super nova.

Now why do I have this hunch that TNG characters will be in Star Trek XI? The official comic book that tells the story leading up to the movie, called Star Trek Countdown.

The Jellyfish from Star Trek XI, which in the official comic that leads to the movie, is designed, and built, by Geordi La Forge.

Star Trek Gets PG-13 Rating

No surprise there then. Didnt seem like anything else, not didnt need to be. So far it's shaping up as a nice reboot. And also as it seems i need to update my poster collection - have some original teaser posters (the ones with faces).

Hmm... Interesting. I thought this movie was the start of a new universe, but maybe Spock's and Nero's trip back wipes out or makes major changes to the existing universe?

Whoa! Nice find. I'd love to see a bit of the post-TNG era in this movie.

Here is an early Spill.com preview review of Star Trek by Carlyle. He's a hardcore trekkie like most of us, and he...well just listen to his review and you'll be happy.

Just be aware, it is NSFW as it has quite a bit of harsh language as per usual with anything from Spill.com on their audio section :)

Oh, and he makes it a point not to spoil anything. He discusses in very small detail the basic plot and some basic stuff about the story and characters. But other than that, he doesn't spoil anything.

Spock gives fans Star Trek treat

Spock actor Leonard Nimoy set his phasers to stun at a movie screening on Monday when he switched 1982's Wrath of Khan for the new Star Trek film.

Sci-fi enthusiasts in Austin, Texas turned up for the classic film only to find Nimoy introducing the first public showing of director JJ Abrams' prequel.

The film was given a six minute standing ovation and one filmgoer said fans were "crying they were so happy."

Star Trek, the 11th film in the franchise, is due for release on 8 May.

It follows James T Kirk as he graduates from Star Fleet Academy and becomes captain of the starship Enterprise.

Chris Pine takes over the role of Kirk which was played by William Shatner in the 1960s television series and seven of the films.

The prequel had its official world premiere in Sydney, Australia on Tuesday night.

Film company Paramount arranged for Nimoy, along with the film's writers and its producers to unveil the film to hardcore fans first and the audience from Monday's unexpected showing immediately started posting reviews on Twitter.

One fan called it "the best Star Trek movie ever" adding, "yes, it even beat Wrath of Khan".

Another said, "the cast is superb, the story is compelling, the action is exciting". Another simply added: "Just saw the new Star Trek movie and it MELTED MY PANTS!!!!!"

The enthusiasm carried over to the Sydney Opera House premiere, where one viewer reported "there were a lot of moments where the audience spontaneously burst into applause".

Nimoy, who played Vulcan crew member Spock in the television series and several films, has a role in the prequel.

Heroes actor Zachary Quinto, who plays the younger Spock, commented at the premiere: "Leonard and I have become very close in this process and his experience has been unique to him and mine will be unique to me."

The new cast also features Winona Ryder, Eric Bana and, as the younger version of Scotty, British actor Simon Pegg.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
