With the secrecy about Star Wars: The Force Awakens spurring lots of debate, there seems to have been a bit of reflection on J.J.'s last big sci-fi project. Abrams and Lindelof have expressed regrets over how they handled the plot points of Into Darkness prior to the film’s release. We share our thoughts on their comments and ask for yours.

Star Trek soars and plummets at the Saturn Awards

The 40th annual Saturn Awards have been handed out and Star Trek got mixed results. The Star Trek of the past five decades did very well, bringing in honors for the third, fourth, and fifth seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation Blu-ray remastering as well as a special award given to Marc Cushman for the first two volumes of These Are The Voyages: TOS, massive books that chronicle the making of The Original Series in great detail. The world of Star Trek as imagined by J.J. Abrams, however, lost all five categories in which it was nominated.

See the full Saturn Award results.

Star Trek: The Compendium to combine both J.J. films plus bonus features

When Paramount released Star Trek Into Darkness on home video, the fanfare that the studio had hoped for was replaced by outrage. For those who enjoy bonus features—one of the key reasons to buy Blu-rays—there was no way to get all of the content that was produced. By splitting up the bonus content amongst various retail outlets, Paramount angered fans and shot themselves in the foot. Finally our voices have been heard and a new collection coming in September will bring both Abramsverse films and all existing special features into one box. A rebate offer is even in the works.

Find out more about what's included on the discs.

The Okudas talk Orci as director, Netflix, and the future of Star Trek

Few people have had more influence over the look and feel of Star Trek over the years than Mike and Denise Okuda. Dare we say no one knows more about Star Trek than they do. Having worked on every modern Star Trek series and the (non-Abramsverse) films, Mike and Denise have a unique perspective on where Star Trek has been and where it is going. In a new interview with TrekMovie.com, the Trek dream team share their thought on Robert Orci directing, the rumors of a Star Trek series on Netflix, and where they would take the franchise themselves.

Abandoned Abramsverse horses and fish come out to play

We only spent a short time on Nibiru at the beginning of Star Trek Into Darkness. And while the scenes were memorable, there was much more in the works that got nixed for time and budget. Alfonso De La Torre, a conceptual illustrator who worked on the film, has released images that he created for Into Darkness showing several creatures native to Nibiru, including a horse, insect, and some fish.
