J.J. Abrams' Star Trek


Recommended Posts

Let's NOT forget 96% of critics Approve Star Trek!

This movie is rated even Higher than The Dark Knight!!!

I don't see how you can say this movie was not good, unless you don't know what a good movie is.

It's number 82 atm on IMDB...I am sure it could go up further.

Yes, but Angels & Demons opens this coming weekend, and the week after that is T:S; so I don't see it being in first all that long. Don't you just love summer blockbusters?

No, I am talking about critics ratings, not the box office #s

Rotten Tomatoes is my #1 movie review site!

If you noticed my earlier post, which I'll quote below...you'll see that I already said what the weekend total is:

Well, it's number 1 at the box office, however it fell short of Wolverine's $87,000,000 opening weekend. Star Trek's opening weekend total is $72,500,000.

Are those numbers adjusted for inflation? I heard adjusted for inflation First Contact made about 52 mil. It's still lower than Star Trek.

Let's look at it this way...

Star Trek 96%

Wolverine 37%

Wolverine is an Overhyped movie (The character himself is an OVERRATED X-man) that I rather see X-men 4 instead of Wolverine spinoff! Like I thought, it was bad, not much about it was that good for a Highly anticipated movie.

While this Star Trek was way WAY past the expectations, IMO.

i think you're describing star wars there actually.

JJ Abrams direct Actors much better than George Lucas, but George Lucas is great at action and storytelling.

This Star Trek's plot really ain't all that, but when you have a director that CAN direct actors BETTER, it makes a whole a LOT of difference!

After Nemesis, they have prequel comics that explain some of the plot points to tie this movie with the original series and TNG. Things like how did Nero know about Kirk and what not is given in the comics, too.

can you tell me what prequel comics ? so i can check them out ?

Who the hell cares about Wolverine? Discuss that trash in that thread.

it was a great action film; a nice alternate reality reboot of trek; I enjoyed it as long as I can overlook the many plot holes and "lazy" writing.

Agreed, i saw it yesterday and while it is a nice movie the only thing it has in common with the other movies/series is the name.

SPOILER:

I'm not a star trek guru, but throughout the 4 series i saw, the Federation was always extremely strict about messing with time. It seems like the federation of the 30th century is always occupied fixing damage to the timeline. But then they just sit there and watch one of their founding planets get sucked into a blackhole by a rouge romulan ex-miner?

Another one was how they escape the blackhole gravity well at the ending...i mean, to me it looked like they used a SINGLE DROP of red matter to create a blackhole big enough to suck away a supernova in a few seconds...then they ignite the whole red matter on that ship, even take their time to chat with the bad guys and only then escape the resulting blackhole with a melting warp drive explosion?! Come on, doesn't that sound at least a bit odd?

I might be wrong, but to me it sure doesn't look like the star trek based on actual science i used to like...

Because this movie isnt based on Star Trek canon timeline, its a complete reboot in every sense of the word.

Best movie ever (or, at least, this year). I go to the cinemas to evade and watch something entertaining, not some artsy bullcrap. This movie had it all: simple plot, entertaining, likable characters and time travel. They had me at time travel, obviously :D I guess diehard trekkies have every right to not like this movie, anyway. I liked it, and judging by the good reviews all over the place, I guess a lot of people also did. And while I respect other peoples right to not like it, the hardcore fanboyism I sense in some posts it's insane. It's like apple fanboys not liking the fact that everybody can have a mac, lol

Saw it on the weekend, epic win (Y)

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

Funny you should say that, that was exactly what was going through my head too! :D

I am indeed in the minority. The same minority that always loved Star Trek because it didn't cater to the mob, thanks for reinforcing my point ;)

It is not Star Trek as Gene roddenberry saw it, anything else is irrelevant, cash grabbing nonsense. Rejoice in the knowledge you are a sheep of the devolution.

Baaa! ;)

stop being a clown. you aren't even funny.

so anything roddenberry didn't write or work on is irrelevent cash grabbing nonsense?

well have fun watching TOS on dvd then. or maybe the DVDs are just a cash grab. the rest of us will get on with enjoying stuff a bit more recent too.

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • 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.
