I am too young (19) to have seen any of the previous Star Trek stuff so I didn't know about this movie. I just figured I wouldn't know what is going on. I watched the movie and was pleasantly surprised, it was pretty good without getting too deep into the Trek world.

Seeing Quinto in something other than his Heroes role was cool too.

too young?!

i'm only 24 and iv seen pretty much all star trek episodes and movies

go get renting! :)

Should have waited to release Star Trek or Terminator since we have no July 4th weekend blockbuster this year coming out.

they'll make their money. people focus too much on a movie being #1 at all times. as longa s they are posting strong numbers in 2 and 3 slots then they'll be fine for the future

Remember when George Lucas hid E.T. creatures in Star Wars: Episode I? Well apparently JJ Abrams did the same kind of thing in Star Trek, hiding the robot R2-D2 from Star Wars in one of the scenes (yes, the photo above is an obvious photoshop). I watched the film twice and definitely didn?t notice the little droid anywhere, so it must be a really obscure easter egg. I also haven?t seen any mention of the ?cameo appearance? made anywhere online.

But Paramount Pictures has announced a contest, giving away an official prop from the film to one of the people who actually spotted the beeping droid. What scene in the new film Star Trek features the robot ?R2-D2″ from Star Wars? Email your answer to [email protected] with ?STAR TREK Easter Egg Sweepstakes? in the subject line. Full rules are listed on Facebook.

See guys, I told you it would be close.

Angels & Demons did $48 million and Star Trek did $43 million this weekend.

It doesn't really matter. At this point, both are going to make their money back. Unless I'm mistaken, Angels and Demon cost somewhere between 100-125 million to make and the worldwide figures already hit 100 million, which means sales from rentals and dvds will give profit. It's the same with Star Trek. It was a 150 million film, half of the money was already made back during it's opening weekend. Right now, it'll probably make it's money back simply being in theaters and everything else afterwards is profit, which is a good sign. That's probably why the sequel is already greenlit, it's a cash cow.

      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

      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.

      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.
