Yeah, its a wiki. You could edit it to say "Garfield" instead of a "VF-1 Valkyrie" if one so desired.

Writer Roberto Orci cited Star Wars (1977) as an influence in giving this film a epic feel: "I wanted to feel the space, to feel speed and to feel all the things that can become a little bit lost when Star Trek becomes very stately - although I love that about it." The film pays homage to Star Wars (1977) in the Cantina scene, in the action sequences, and particularly in Kirk and Spock's relationship ("Han Solo wasn't friends with anyone when the journey started, then...").

That's because of the heavy Star Wars flavor!

You do realize they never had any intention of making a faithful adaptation of the book, don't you? The book was only the basis for the movie.

Yeah, that was kinda lame.

Yes, which is why I make sure I keep pointing out I am not a fan.

But its vastly more popular. Personally, I don't like Gundam, at all. Just making a point.

Yeah, what he said. Trek surpassing Star Wars would be like Macross surpassing Gundam.

One thing that always bothered me about Star Trek was how clean everything was (this goes for the Star Wars prequels, as well). I didn't get that feeling at all in this movie.

I admit, Khan has a certain charm to it, and 4 always has amused me, but you have got to be kidding me. The first film is not good (though not horrible), but 3, 5, and 6 are flat out bad. I wouldn't admit to most people that I had actually seen them (though, I am not a trekkie). Granted, the story is almost an afterthought, but this is the most alive any of these characters have ever been.

The weakest part of this movie was the story; really, its all about the characters. The plot is an afterthought.

Not a Trek fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good, but not great, definitely entertaining. Really had alot of fun watching it. Lots of fist fights, pussy, and explosions. Also, very Star Wars. VERY Star Wars.

I wouldn't worry about it, HG can't legally do that.

Its a cartoon.

Eden of the East is interesting. Not quite sure where its going, and it has a strange start, but, its interesting. Personally, I am preferring the Frostii subs.

Stay on target

Depends in your taste in film. The Blade Runner release is generally considered worth the upgrade alone, it justifies the format. 2001 and Close Encounters are also amazing releases. Really, I don't own anything on BD (though, I am even pickier with BD transfer quality than I am with film in general, do check reviews before buying) that isn't a far superior upgrade over its DVD release.

Search function is your friend. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...p;hl=CatShitOne

Just watched Freedom, it was a waste of time.

*yawn*

Commander Shepard probably isn't dead in Mass Effect 2 Joystiq.com by Griffin McElroy { May 2nd 2009 at 4:00PM } Following the release of the Mass Effect 2 teaser trailer, we've all been nervous wrecks about the assumedly unfortunate fate of the first Mass' protagonist, Commander Shepard. We really do not want him to be dead. We spent so much time molding him, as if from clay, to look just like us, only much more attractive. Fortunately, at the end of a recent Mass Effect 2 dev blog post, the game's executive producer, Casey Hudson, responded to the notion of Shepard's corpsification, saying he "better not be." He continued, "we had a lot of big plans made, so if someone's gone and killed Shepard then things are going to take an unexpected turn." So, there you have it. Either Shepard is still alive, or some unknown, shadowy agent murdered him without Bioware's noticing. Either way, we should know more about Shepard's status when we see the game next month at E3.

The Da Vinci Code was a mediocre novel that was entertaining enough to finish. The fact that the movie was equally as mediocre should not have surprised anyone. The Marvel Comics Presents Weapon X story is fairly simple and not overly long (not to mention very good). They could easily have adapted it. Whether you believe it would have worked or not doesn't really matter, fact is, what they did do looks to be a complete failure.

Never had any interest in seeing this, but if Marvel had been smart, they would have faithfully adapted the original "Weapon X" story in Marvel Comics Presents for the screen and kept it at that.
