For years, I have railed against how often Paramount Pictures demonstrates their lack of understanding their Star Trek fans. One misguided decision after another dating back to the 1970s builds a fairly convincing case. The latest misfire is the release pattern to Star Trek Into Darkness, out on disc this week. In case you missed…
Star Trek Into Darkness‘ digital release came out yesterday. The disc edition will be out in a few weeks but here’s something to whet your appetite, a clip from the iTunes Extras.

Social commentary is pretty old news in science fiction, so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that it figures prominently in what will probably turn out to be the summer’s sci-fi biggie, Star Trek Into Darkness. Of course, if we wanted to be picky, or display our erudition, or be just a bit passive aggressive,…
I loved Star Trek: Into Darkness. I was riveted from the moment I planted my butt in the seat.

In preparation for Star Trek Into Darkness, we present you with these dark moments… Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? The image supposedly is from a first season episode of The Carol Burnett Show. Surprisingly, little seems to be known about the details of why Leonard Nimoy is there in full Spock regalia. Some sources indicate that the skit uses…
As the clock counts down to the May explosion of genre releases, additional clips are rolling out.

Paramount Pictures has released a clip from Star Trek Into Darkness via Moviefone. The May 17 release has been receiving a tremendous marketing push from the studio both here and internationally, in the hopes of reigniting interest after making fans wait four years since the first entry in the rebooted series. In the wake of…
With less than two months to go before Star Trek Into Darkness opens in theaters, the Paramount marketing machine has been busy.

Like every other geek, I’ve seen the trailers for the next Star Trek movie, Star Trek Into Darkness. I even saw the extended preview when Mary and I went to see The Hobbit. I’ve seen J.J. Abrams relaunch of the Star Trek franchise and really enjoyed it. I’m a long time Star Trek fan although…
