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.

    • 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.
    • 47% profit margin? Wtf!! I know companies are in business to make money but come on man. I know for a fact I'll never own one of these.
    • 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.
