J.J. Abrams' Star Trek


Recommended Posts

Wow..........

I had some serious and severe apprehensions about this film as a long term trekkie and by god it didnt dissapoint there was enough content for the long term trek fans like myself to be satisfied that he did the franchise justice while structuring it in a way that you dont really need to know what came before to "get" it.

There were one or two things that dissapointed me but that was with 2 small sections of the film and didnt spoil the film as a whole for me.

I love this film and after the rather lackluster Next Generation outings (generations and first contact being the best of a bad bunch) i thought this was up there with the Wrath of Khan.

The only actor i felt let the side down and i dont know if it was the actors fault or the writers for giving him crap scenes but Anton Yelchin as Chekov really dissapointed me he barely got any scenes and the scenes he did get were like a charicature of the TOS Chekov, the very first scene he was in was a play on TOS Chekovs bad accent.

I saw the film early this morning, and loved it for the most part. I won't go into spoilery details, but there were definitely some disappointing moments. I thought Quinto's performance as Spock, while good from a looks perspective, was a horrible choice in the acting side of things. This is definitely a big jump in the right direction for Trek.

I have to disagree with the Khan remark as well. It still fell quite short of that mark. That being said, I think there is finally a brighter future for the universe, especially once they learn what things they did wrong this time around.

Liked it a lot. Can't remember the last Star Trek I was actually excited for. Some of the time travel/ black hole stuff was a bit wacky and didn't make much sense, but the rest of the film was great.

Read the prequel strips (4 parts) and you'll understand everything. They're also available on Itunes/appstore.

Went to the cinema yesterday and I loved it, never been much of a Star Trek fan but I got into the story right away. When I went home afterwards I got the sudden urge to pick up Mass Effect again, the movie reminded me so much of that game (which is a good thing) :D

Now that you say it, yea. Movie does make me wanna play ME. Though I have played it to hell and back. But as far as the movie goes it was just stunning. I went with no expectations and I must say that I havent seen anything this fun in a long time. Well put together. Well looking (lens flare galore). Its the kind of movie that you just sit back and enjoy the ride, and what an adventure it was. Saying i had no expectations i may have lied a bit, as i didnt expect it to be that funny or lighthanded as it was, but thats not bad thing in any way - it worked all the way through. Also kudos Michael Giacchino for awesome score!

Star Trek does $7 Million + on it's Opening Night (beating Iron Man and Wolverine openings):

Variety reports that Paramount Pictures' new Star Trek movie earned an estimated $7 million on Thursday night from most of its 3,800 screens.

The studio opened Iron Man on a Thursday night in May of 2008. That film grossed north of $4 milion in Thursday evening/midnight screenings on its way to making $102.1 million for the weekend.

Last weekend, 20th Century Fox's X-Men Origisn: Wolverine grossed nearly $5 million in midnight runs, although "Wolverine" didn't start its run until 12:01 a.m. Friday.

The original report is here.

W00T. More money = more Star Trek baby!

OUTSTANDING MOVIE!!! :D :D :D (Saw it in IMAX!)

I Can't wait for the sequel Baby!

On my way home, I stopped by a Burger King to buy the $1.99 glasses.

A kid asked her(or his) mother "What is Star Trek?"

She replied "A stupid movie about spaceships, blah blah that people with No lives go to see."

I almost want to cuss the hell out of her!!! :|

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
