Star Trek Reboot Movies vs the Classic Movies

Last week, Blog talkie radio hosts Neil Rosen, Bill McCuddy and Bill Bregoli met Star Trek Beyond insider, Logan Hill. He was upbeat about STAR TREK going to places where the franchise has never been before. Is it good places? So far, Logan admits he was impressed, about what? he doesn't say...



                                    Let Talk Star Trek

 Logan admits "The buzz on the trailer wasn't great" confirming what Simon Pegg said on December 17 2015.



 “I didn’t love it because I know there’s a lot more to the film. There’s a lot more story, a lot more character stuff, and a lot more what I would call Star Trek stuff.”



Star Treks insider also says "People were kind of sniping at the trailer but I got to say I like Justin Lin, I like the fast and the furious movies and I like the new reboot that sounded more commercial? (skip ahead to 1:07 and replay) Apparently Logan is researching an article for Wired Magazine so hopefully sensational Star Trek vibrations are on the way.

IMAGE OWNER/ CREATOR: PARAMOUNT PICTURES AND OR CBS STUDIOS


 So heres the thing: Soon Star Trek fans will have a trilogy of Star Trek JJ Abrams-verse movies. The first one, Star Trek 2009 was kind of cool. Fascinating interplay with a younger crew, Kirk, Spock, Bones and spicey hanky panky with Uhura generated a lot of interest. The bar room fist fight over who gets Uhura got Kirk busted up real good with Admiral Christopher Pike saving the day.



 Star Trek into Darkness is a different animal which has less story but more roller coaster action, explosions, death and amazingly generated $467 million dollars worldwide. You may recall STID sent fans on a wild goose chase over the movies villain, rumoured to be John Harrison. Even Alice Eve rowed in on the action with denials, "No he's not Khan!!!" Remember???



Looking back the original Star Trek movies like the Wrath of Khan, the Voyage Home and First Contact have in my book real spirit with stronger character melodrama credited with saving the original franchise created by Gene Roddenberry.



The real kicker is Star Trek TWOK won 2 Saturn Awards for best actor and best direction. You'll never believe who won best actor! I nearly died laughing when I found out.

What do you say trekkers? Is Star Trek Beyonds trailer too much like its predecessor - Star Trek Into Darkness? Could this be why fans are squabbling over star Trek Beyond's Trailer 1? Which is your favorite Star Trek movie? Do you remember Alice Eve saying "No he's not Khan!" Do you want to see our Gorn challenger, William Shatner duelling in Star Trek Beyond?





Today is the A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal. 

"Those of us with themes are revealing them today." 2016 marks my sixth year for Aprils A to Z blogfest. Many of you will know my Science Fiction themes vary from previous years. For this years theme I'm choosing Star Trek Monsters, Lifeforms, BEM, Tribbles or anything which moves and looks remotely alien in appearance.

Kapla!

Into Darkness Speed Chase

Hello Everyone, Heres the David and Goliath Star Trek Into Darkness space chase. You know the score. Big baddie Vengence spaceship races after Captain Kirk's chicken USS Enterprise ship. So now its battle stations! Chekov's got his cool space shades on and Dr Carol Marcos wants permission to, I quote "come on the bridge..."




Anyway, in this space chase the admiral's dreadnought is frightening fast roaring a little like a retro Godzilla but you be the judge. Poor USS Enterprise hasn't a chance. No time for Uhura's 'hailing frequencies, open captain.' Instead its fire first and prepare to die. (1m 20sec) Secretly we're all getting off on the speed chase and what happens next. Those poor devils!!!



 Did you get a rush when Starfleets finest got sucked out the side of USS Enterprise NCC 1701? Go on now admit it, warrior to warrior. How did you feel?

3D STID Khan Wallpaper



Heres a spectacular, 3 dimensional wallpaper of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701 with Khan rising up from a city of ashes. If you dig this graphic art then you'll enjoy these starships too.. Its fun staring at these deep space objects, imagine if they were real!

Lets pretend for a moment the Enterprise is warping through Earth's star system in sector 001. Shes on a rescue mission to save Sol's Federation earthlings once again. Earthers are scouring the skies. Finally she arrives, all shiny and new. Starfleets finest is ready for action with Captain James T. Kirk commanding.

 Ah yes, but who is that dark figure in the foreground? Great space, its Khan! That villainous scoundrel from Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Which movie rocked your world the most? Whose Khan gets your vote? Benedict Cumberbatch or Ricardo Montalban?

Live Long and Prosper, trekkers.

Star Trek Into Darkness Laserpower



See all these Starfleet Redshirts? The warp core pictured in director J.J. Abram's (2013) Star Trek Into Darkness movie was filmed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory aka National Ignition Facility in CA. Looking at this epic (NIF) structure you'd hardly guess its the largest and most energetic laser system in the world but it is! Hardly surprising Star Trek continues to test new frontiers boldly exploring where no red shirt has gone before, hehe. Which ones Chekov, I wonder?



 STID is full of cool stuff like this. Apparently the (NIF) is where real-life scientists are attempting to create nuclear fusion without underground nuclear testing. In 2012, with the approval of the Department of Energy, the NIF's laser laboratory was used for the first time as a film set during a normal maintenance cycle for the facility.




Heres Scotty getting pegged to wear special 'neutron' cream to avoid damage from ions in the air.

Heck yeah! with all this Enterprise firepower, Scotty should have vaporized Khan's USS Vengeance into sci fi oblivion.

Star Trek Into Darkness Verdict

Star Trek XII is now the highest earner of Star Trek's franchise with takings of $328 million in 18 days! J.J. Abrams has done it again! Rotten Tomato critics have given Star Trek Into Darkness the thumbs up with 87 points. Apparently trek's sequel isn't as fresh as the prequel yet it is visually spectacular. The verdict?



 I reckon a worldwide $330M boxoffice hit speaks for itself. This time round we get a "rock solid" sequel filmed with 3D action sequences. James Cameron, Avatar's Creator was onboard during Badrobots 3D conversion process giving the film that special alternate reality dimension to fill seats.  Since the relaunch of Abram's Star Trek we've got an action packed origin story with a younger crew rebooting history. (Don't worry we won't peek, hehe.)


When Londons Section 31 building blows up, Starfleets covert operations is no longer secret. I guess Earth needs more undercover guys. In any case John Harrison (who is the genetically augmented superhuman) is really Khan hellbent on revenge. So he devises a masterplan to flush out Starfleet's top brass for some target shooting practise.




Amazingly the Admiralties battle strategists assemble in a war room full of glass windows. Perfect for an aerial ambush with Khan's gunship waiting in the wings, right outside! Kirks the only one whose combat instincts tell him to do something, fast! Remember Ripley yelling at Gorman in Aliens 2, "DO SOMETHING! F**K!!!" I think Star Trek Into Darkness needed an indecisive character with frailities like Gormans but I digress.


"You're just a PAWN Kirk, you cannot even guarantee the safety of your own crew!"

Khan is like a predator playing with his prey. Treks dark villain knew exactly how and where to take his enemies out. He simply wants payback because Starfleet's good guys broke their word! The plot thickens when Admiral Marcus pops up which leads us to the epic manhunt and another mystery. The 72 long range prototype torpedoes with Botany Bay's frozen souls trapped inside. We have to remember, Khan isn't just the bad guy, hes on a mission.

For ages the "John Harrison" mystery led us off course about the baddies true identity. Did you enjoy being kept in the dark, guessing? When Admiral Marcus revealed the existence of a Top Secret Undercover Agent, hes obviously trying to cover his tracks. Starfleet isn't supposed to be a cloak and dagger operation. The Admiral is hiding something because hes dirty but does Kirk realise this?.


How do you rate our space crusaders this time?
What did you make of Pikes final curtain call?
Did you enjoy Dr Carol Marcus striptease with Uhura's heavy breather gawping on standby?
Did Cumberbatches Khanspeak freeze you to your seat?  "No ship should go down without her captain."

Live Long and Prosper.

Into Darkness has finally arrived! I reckon we deserve to be blown out of our seats for our just rewards. Are you ready and all set for a trektastic time?

Starfleet Uniforms

U is for Star Trek uniform. Is yours ready for trekking into darkness?

In Star Trek's classic series, uniforms consisted of black pants, boots, and tunics in gold, red, and blue. In our new age of technology Starfleet uniforms can now be complete, all the way down to your feet! Gold is for command personnel, blue for science, red for security and engineering.

Trek fans have the option of wearing pants or dresses similar to those seen in any of Star Trek's series, so get kitted out to your socks!

What Starfleet colors will you be sporting at the movies premiere of Star Trek Into Darkness on May 17th?

 All uniform's have the Enterprises arrowhead insignia sewn above the left breast. Gold braid on the sleeve denotes rank depending on how many rows or broken rows there are. Just don't forget your communicator.

Two to beam in, Scotty!

Mindblowing Star Trek




M is for mind-blowing Star Trek.

Star Trek Into Darkness is boldly going where no movie has gone before. Last Tuesday, STID online tickets sales soared in the United Kingdom. Paramount Pictures UK and Odeon both tweeted concerns about the British Film Institute experiencing online difficulty due to overwhelming demand. Trekmovie reported "demand for Into Darkness" crashing the UK ticketing website. Apparently hardcore trek fans were all trying to book at exactly the same time. Now the initial excitement has passed it time to grab your seat for an early screening in the UK. Tickets are now available in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D.

Do you like the STID UK banner?

Wheres Scotty, Chekov, Sulu  "Bones" and Keenser?

P.S. Keenser was spotted recently hanging out with J.J. Abrams. What do you make of our furry friend in his brand new Starfleet grey?

New STID Teaser Trailer 2

We've got a new STID teaser trailer on Saturday with a terrific spaceship chase and Admiral Pike reprimanding Kirk on for being a very naughty boy indeed. The terrified screaming chick yelling for dear life looks terrified out of her wits. Lets forget about Star Trek Lore, rules and regulations which influence life and death in the universe, Captain Kirk has!.

When the enemy is threatening the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701, (which crashes brilliantly into San Francisco Bay and emerges from the Nibiru Ocean,) Captain Kirk skips the formalities opting instead to manoeuvre a Millenium Falcon type shuttle in for the kill. So now its pay back time!


"He's a fugitive and I want to take him out."

I love the speedy shuttle chase in space, its exciting. The close proximity of the ship gets the heart beating faster. Chances are Captain Kirk is flying in after Cumberbatch, you know the mystery villain guy that plays Sherlock in the BBC Tv Series, which puts our 'John Harrison' villain wreaking havoc in the forefront of the entire movie.

I guess its the captains prerogative to go on away missions and flip out is a good idea. How would you feel couped up on the bridge of the Enterprise 24/7?  Its obvious our 'no win scenario' daredevil has compulsions which need constant nurturing placing the lives of everyone near him in constant danger. Pike calls Kirk a pain.

'You think the rules don't apply to you because you disagree with them."




Naturally at Kirk's command, Mr Sulu engages the warp engines by twisting and flicking a few switches except now the Starship Enterprise is in space where she belongs, so like, I'm totally confused which is a good thing. Bye Bye fish. But lets get serious for a moment.  Chris Pine the Enterprises new Captain Kirk gives Sulu a direct order to fly the ship. He doesn't say "Engage" like Picard or "Ahead Warp Factor 1" like Captain Kirk in STOS, NO! Instead Kirk says,

"Punch it."



Theres something cool about "Punch it." Burdens of command, I guess... but I still miss "Engage" "Warp Speed Ahead" and "Warp Factor Nine, Mr Sulu" don't you?

What are the odds Sulu goofs up again by forgetting about the parking brake?

Speed Long and Prosper, Trekkies and Trekkers.

Star Trek Mobile App

Here's Dr Carol Marcus played by Alice Eve in the upcoming Star Trek 2013 sequel movie. Remember when Eve said "It's a top-secret operation, it's like a war." Well feast your eyes on her now as she boldly struts her Starfleet stuff for us trekkies to drool over HaHa!

 In this video Alice chats with Qualcomm's Chief techie Paul Jacobs about 'the hero making out,' cracking jokes while promoting Star Trek Into Darkness. Apparently the plan was to launch Star Treks mobile app and get fans excited about Paramount's latest tricorder gadget.

Cool if you own an Android device because these trekkie apps are free on Amazon. So now fans can access real world missions, giveaways, and get updates on their smartphone on Star Trek Into Darkness.


You can almost see Dr Carol Marcus's lovely green and blue eyes widening. Maybe Jacobs needs to be less scientific, so she mentions the billboard which was clever..

Star Trek's mobile app is powered by a Gimbal Platform which once translated means 'hive mind' giving humans the technology to analyse alien environments and adapt. I think thats why people love tricorders and smartphones, so much. Its because we're so clueless most of the time and its fun figuring stuff out. Don't you just love scanning for alien lifeforms? I bet you didn't know smartphones have sensors, I sure didn't.  So where shall we begin?

Uhura's got a Gun

Heres the Enterprise code cracker, Uhura, doesn't she look hot enough to fire up your warp engines? The odds are encouraging that Enterprise hailing frequencies go down in J.J. Abrams Star Trek sequel. The yellow hue from the mystery deflector dish tells us something about Uhura's proximity to darkness in this exact location.  Specializing in xenolinguistics, Uhura grabs the top Communications job in Pikes ship (2009) when the guy with the ears tries to sideline her to the USS Farragut. Nyota tells Spock where to get off.

UHURA: Commander, a word.
SPOCK: Yes, Lieutenant?
UHURA: Was I not one of your top students?
SPOCK: Indeed you were.
UHURA: And did I not, on multiple occassions, demonstrate exceptional aural sensitivity, and I quote, "an unparalleled ability to identify sonic anomalies in subspace transmission tests?"
SPOCK: Consistently, yes.
UHURA: And while you were well aware that of own qualified desires to serve on the USS Enterprise, I'm assigned to the Farragut?
SPOCK: It was an attempt to avoid the appearance of favoritism.
UHURA: No, I'm assigned to the Enterprise. (Spock presses some buttons on his PADD)
SPOCK: Yes, I believe you are.
UHURA: Thank you.




Later we see these two kissing each other in the turbo lift. Funny how Uhura kept her first name quiet for so long but I guess Nyota likes to play mind games. I've been doing a little digging on our Communications Officer and it gets better. Uhura is proficient in a whopping 83% of official Federation languages and regional dialects and becomes Vice President of starfleet academy's Chorale Ensemble which is like pretty interstellar amazing.

Here in the photoshoot is Uhura crouched, holding a phaser on the set of Star Trek Into Darkness with the plot unfolding just a little. Interesting I'd say because, 'John Harrison' swoops down and engages in mortal combat with the hooded mysterious entity. Now who could this be I wonder, eh? In the same spot, it would appear Nyota is lying in wait for something..... Cumberbatch's evil entity? Its Red Alert, Could this be pay back time? Uhura looks like a predator ready to exact retribution but for what......for SPOCK???? We still don't know if Spock makes it out of the volcano. John Harrison vs Uhura hmm... So I ask you... How will Uhura get John Harrison to repent for his evil ways?....Does she really have what it takes to pull the trigger?

Explore long and Prosper, Trekkies and Trekkers!

Star Trek Into Darkness Beginning





The latest tid bits on Star Trek Into Darkness, with Paramount's BadRobot Director J.J. Abrams bubbling with enthusiasm. In this video interview he speaks on Empire about Star Trek Into Darkness new movie characters.

 The plot and the villain are still a mystery but judging from the latest news, a trully fascinating storyline is emerging. Apparently movie fans don't have to watch Star Trek's classic series to understand Star Trek Into Darkness which is my take on what Abram's has said so far.

J.J.Abrams: The goal for this movie was to up the ante as much as we could. There were a lot of characters people were anticipating seeing, Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Uhura, Chekov and Sulu. I am more excited than I can tell you.The action and scale of this movie is lightyears beyond what we did in the first movie
Zachary Quinto: It was Pretty magical to see what they were able to create this time. I think its stunningly beautiful.
Chris Pine: The word people keep coming back to is relentless. Theres one thing after another after another.
Zoe Saldana: This is the kind of film that 3D is made for.
J.J.Abrams: Without question Imax and the 3D of it I think, will give viewers another level of execitement. This movie was the most fun and challenging experience that I've had. This is my everything I've ever done wrapped up in one movie.







What can we expect from Star Trek Into Darkness?

1. Klingon ships chasing Earth's Federation ships equipped for glorious battle action in space. Red Alert!
2. The movies antagonist, Khan and the captain of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701, James Kirk engaged in battle
3. Scotty hanging on yelling, beam me up Keenser!
4. John Harrison beating the spuds out of someone aboard a spacehip.
5. Hand to hand scrapping between Harrison and Kirk.
6. Cumberbatch is the threat leading them into a trap to 'a war zone world.
7.terrific conflicts and ripping explosions aboard starships claiming lives during the line of duty.
8. A storyline with action and a villain, bigger than the last movie.
9. Unstoppable terror detonating the fleetleaving Earth and her citizens in ruins, running and ducking for cover.
10. What do you think of the blue alien lifeform?


 Aren't you excited?

Star Trek Into Darkness Clues

Star Trek Into Darkness

Release Date: May 17, 2013
Director: J. J. Abrams.


Written By: Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof.

Cast: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve, Bruce Greenwood.

Star Trek Into Darkness is bringing war to the streets of earth with John Harrison whom we suspected was Khan. Forget about Optimism. Hope for the future is long gone! Well, well.... what about its not all over.... wails the devoted trekkie fan. "


Look no further than the Baftas, Alice Eve has denied Cumberbatch is playing Khan which spoils the fun, really. Maybe shes hiding something! Its funny when she says J.J. Abrams has become the ultimate geek hero! So get ready to ship out to the next universe, you know the dark one! Star Trek Into Darkness is romancing fans with life and death.


In the wake of a shocking act of terror from within their own organization, the crew of The Enterprise is called back home to Earth. In defiance of regulations and with a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads his crew on a manhunt to capture an unstoppable force of destruction and bring those responsible to justice. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew. 



The villain, Cumberbatch has been  described as a terrorist, a member of Starfleet on a mission leaving behind a trail of destruction. 

So who is John Harrison, I mean REALLY? In order to figure this one out, we must eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Alice Eve playing Dr Carol Marcus gives us clueless trekkers something to sink our teeth into. Shes Captain Kirk's ex-sweetheart in the Wrath of Khan. So why is Abrams bringing a Federation Molecular biologist into the movie? Lets not forget her boy, David Marcus the scientist, who played with protomatter and developed a Doomsday Weapon with dear ol' mom, Carol, on Spacelab Regula 1. So perhaps... Cumberbatch playing Khan-type character makes sence after all! There! by Jumping Jupiter I've cracked it. If you've got any better theories..... speak up darn it, or I'll send McCoy after you! 


You'll be glad to hear, Keenser, Scotty's alien side kick is coming back! Remember him?  

ME! Shut Up! 

Treks Into Darkness villainous mysteries just keep getting deeper and deeper. Its self evident John Harrison is the smokescreen. We know Benedict Cumberbatch's villain is out for revenge but oddly, tells the grieving father he can save his sick daughter in the first 9 minutes of the movie. So no Khan, Alice Eve put that rumor to rest, finally? So who is Harrison? Aren't you scratching your head? 

In the Super Bowl trailer Harrison says hes better at everything which is trektastic. To trip out some more lets warp ahead to 2267. Captain Kirk records a commendation for Harrison when the bridge of the Enterprise is slowly deprived of life support during Khan's takeover attempt. (Space Seed, TOS.) Yes you gotta love Star Trek lore, its so fascinatingly deep. Tellingly, Captain Kirk doesn't recognize "Harrison" in Star Trek Into Darkness movie trailer, which is weird but then the year is 2259 and so their paths haven't crossed until like now. Star Trek's Encyclopedia states Harrison is a Starfleet Crew Member aboard the original USS Enterprise NCC 1701 in 2267. So who is Cumberbatch's villain? I think this quote sums up treks mystery villain: I've found that evil usually triumphs...unless good is very, very careful.

For reading my entire into darkness rave, you deserve a super prize, LOL. Seriously, I'm really impressed and somehow Spacerguy will find a way to reward you!


Who do you think Benedict Cumberbatch is playing?  Is he Gary Seven, a Khan clone or a Moon Shuttle Conductor?


Khan : I am better
Captain Kirk: At What?
Khan: Everything!

Ready, Captain? 
Get me outta here, Scotty. 
Are you mad? Are ye out of your vulcan mind? The engines can't take much more of this! 

Khan: You think you world is safe? Kirk: Who the hell are you? 

Khan: It is an illusion. A comforting lie told to protect you. Enjoy these final moments of peace. For I have returned to have my vengeance. So, shall we begin?

Is there anything you would not do for your family?
I'm Family! Me!!! (Keenser, Scotty's loyal side kick is back!)
