If anything you do get the feeling that we're in for yet more action like the first one, which is good to me. I've always been a big fan of the star trek ship to ship battles like in the 2nd and 6th movies with the original crew. The 2009 movie did that good, we'll see what happens in this sequel.

The first one was all character... well, Main character. The villain was there

for fluff. I'm expecting this one to change gears and up the action ante.

But even that being said... it's still going to be character driven, obviously.

Just look at the cast. It's phenomenal.

At IMAX theaters the first 10 min of STID will screen before The Hobbit.

Ahh why would you want to see that? Seeing a trailer is one thing (though I even avoid those) but seeing the first 10 minutes then having to wait months to see the rest would be really annoying.

You think that's bad? I used to know a guy who'd pay full price at the theatre just to see a trailer for a movie he's interested in, then he'd leave. The last time I saw him was at a movie showing the trailer for "Spider-Man" (2002)!

this is really an alternate universe story to the original star trek timeline. right off the bat the owners of star trek are playing it safe. i don't think i want to invest any attachment to something that even the franchise itself has no confidence in, or can easily brush off later.

Where do you get that they have no confidence in it? JJ and his writers are huge Star Trek fans and they know the show and the universe well. Doing the "alternate universe through time travel changing history" bit is just a scifi way to reboot the series. I don't see a problem with it doing so.

Yeah, I agree. I think that would annoy me too. LOL

Will STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Be The Last Time We See Zachary Quinto As Spock?

?It?s like an era of association with certain roles ? a specific part like Spock, or a kind of part, like Sylar ? is coming to an end,? he says.

If he doesn't play Spock anymore, then they'll have to take the story into a radically different direction. Maybe even one with a new crew and starship.

Why? Just recast it. That or add a few digits to his salary in a multi-film contract renegotiation, which is what this is probably all about.

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
