Star Trek Reviews, Interviews & More

Star Trek Into Darkness opened Thursday, and there was hope that the film would smash past the $100 Million dollar mark over its four day opening. That it didn't, that its three day number was less than the Friday through Sunday opening of the original, and that -- if you factor in that the new film is in 3D and Imax and the first film was not -- it sold less tickets...

Currently, people are predicting a hundred million dollar weekend for Star Trek Into Darkness, a number that may be made possible by the fact that the studio opened the film on Wednesday night. The film pocketed $3.3 Million from those shows, and has a full day today to rake in extra cash so it can say that it crossed the nine digit mark by Sunday.

Within the span of a few years suddenly filmmaker J.J. Abrams has turned into the go-to person to handle monstrous science fiction franchises. First he helped revive the Star Trek movie series, and now he's taking over the next film addition to the Star Wars universe. Some of us are wondering how he'll be able to have time to work on both Star...

Back in the halcyon days of 2009, when the world thought that maybe J.J. Abrams could make a decent Star Trek movie and not just a giant cartoon, rumor had it that the original series villains the Klingons would make an appearance, but they were axed before the film was released (they pop up in a deleted scene, albeit with lumpy metal masks hiding their lumpy...

J.J. Abrams is a busy guy—when he’s not taking the Star Trek original series franchise and rebooting it into a shiny, depth-less cartoon with Star Trek and the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness, he’s taking of the reigns of the Star Wars franchise, seeing as he has been tapped to helm Star Wars Episode VII.  So, will he have time to return for...

Ah, modern movie marketing—there’s nothing quite like it, as studios now feel the need to insult the intelligence of any modern film viewer by more less pumping every single scene of an upcoming film onto the internet, unleashing a torrent of spoilers and leaving nothing to the imagination of ticket buyers.  Now, while Star Trek Into Darkness hasn’t been that bad (look to...

Just on the off chance that Star Trek fans were finished up with their rabid obsessing as to whether or not Star Trek Into Darkness was more or less a loose reimagining of the original series’ Khan plotline, Paramount has released the first full scene from the film via AOL, which features Spock willing to sacrifice himself (just as he did in Star Trek II: The...

The endless speculation as to whether or not Benedict Cumberbatch’s “John Harrison” character is really the classic Star Trek villain Khan shows no sign of abating, and this newest viral video on behalf of Star Trek Into Darkness’ PR campaign is not helping matters.  In it, Harrison leaves a cranky message about his personal dislike for Kirk in the...

The marketing team behind J.J. Abrams' second Star Trek movie, Star Trek Into Darkness, has had a busy morning today. Not only did they release eight high-quality photos, but they've also revealed an international poster featuring a fierce-looking Benedict Cumberbatch. He sort of looks like The Governor from The Walking Dead, minus the eye patch and and wearing...

An Oscar winner, some television and some great catalog titles are the treats of the week. And those who love Star Trek are getting one of the better (though maligned) shows on Blu-ray. All in all a good week for fans.

Remember how the Star Trek Into Darkness trailer released earlier this month featured a bizarre amount of similarities to Lethal Weapon 2 (seriously, it did...)?  Well, now we have the international trailer for the film, and it’s bursting at the seams with new footage—including a whole sequence straight out of Godfather III.  Seriously, this...

The biggest mystery surrounding  Star Trek Into Darkness is the long standing question about who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing. When the first still was released, the name attached to the character was John Harrison, but that didn't seem right. Could he be a new character, or would he be a famous villain from Star Trek's rich history?...

OK, stay with me just for a second:

Another day, another series of hints doled out by J.J. Abrams concerning his next science-fiction film that is shrouded in ambiguity.  The film in question is, of course Star Trek Into Darkness, but no, the hints do not deal with whether or not Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Khan or not.

Thanks to the fact that every actor in the film is denying it while all of the film’s marketing seems to suggest it, the question of whether or not classic Star Trek big bad Khan is the villain in Star Trek Into Darkness is driving the Trek fan community bonkers.  For every trailer clip that seems to indicate J.J. Abrams is going full Wrath of...

Look, maybe it’s time we give up on the whole “hey, is Khan gonna be in this thing or not?” game with Star Trek Into Darkness, Paramount and J.J. Abrams, because it’s not a fight we’re winning.  Every new trailer or image only serves to confuse the matter further, so maybe we should just be patient and wait until the film’s May 17th release date to see—oh, who am I...

Star Trek Into Darkness is certainly one of the most anticipated films of 2013—not only because of the never ending “is the villain secretly Khan?” debate—but also because the IMAX 3D CGI extravaganza (and any other trends you can think of—Smell-o-Vision?  Is it in Smell-o-Vision, too?) likely marks the final moment in the Star Trek franchise...

It’s been a topsy-turvy few months for fans of both the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises.  On the Star Trek end of the spectrum, there has been wild and fervid internet speculation as to whether or not director J.J. Abrams would commit the supposed sacrilege of rebooting the classic Trek villain Khan for the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness...

Another day, another chance to discuss whether or not the villain portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek Into Darkness is Khan, or just some random dude named “John Harrison.”  Fan speculation is rampant, and recent advertising for the film isn’t helping (there’s a brief clip of two hands pressed against glass, referencing the tragic ending...

So it’s finally here—the Star Trek Into Darkness trailer that will answer all your questions, finally reveal who the film’s Big Bad really is, and… er, wait, nevermind.  Yes, it’s a full trailer, but no, we still have no idea what the hell is happening in this movie, aside from the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch is still denying he’s playing Khan and that...
