	Star Trek @ Filmbug UK
		Star Trek is a science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry in 1966 that tells the tale of the crew of the starship Enterprise and of their adventures "to boldly go where no man has gone before." The original show was cancelled in 1969, but fans refused to let it die.
		Many episodes and films revolve around a threat to the status quo that is resolved by the crew, and usually everything is back to normal by the closing credits.
		Star Trek: The Animated Series is an animated TV show set in the fictional Star Trek universe.

	Filmtracks: Star Trek: Generations (Dennis McCarthy)
		Star Trek VII: Generations: (Dennis McCarthy) Sandwiched in between Star Trek VI and First Contact, this score has become lost in the transitory phase between the original series films and the next generation films.
		It was the first (and last, to date) attempt by the producers of the films to use a composer of the television series instead of a traditional hollywood composer.
		In Star Trek VI, Cliff Eidelman constructed a dark and menacing base string and male chorus motif to signal the presence of the evil Klingons; his motif began the score, rumbled at the appropriate times throughout, and drove a section of the end credits.

	Filmtracks: The Music of Star Trek
		Star Trek: The Motion Picture mirrored the end credit suite format established by John Williams for Star Wars by bracketing Ilia's theme with performances of the main theme --a format that would become all too familiar for sci-fi movie fans in the decades to come.
		I respect the decision to score the fourth film differently; it was, after all, a comical relief from the heavy drama of the previous films (and Horner scores).
		Perhaps the best cue of the film occurs when Kirk clenches his fist and says "fire!" (don't we all love that?) and the Bird of Prey is blown to bits (too bad that same footage was manipulated a little and used again in Star Trek: Generations).

	STAR TREK: NEMESIS - DVD
		For a film in a tired franchise trying to duplicate Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (inarguably the best of the cinematic "Trek" line) down to an articulate arch villain, heroic sacrifice, and mind-meld cheat, the irony of having the central conflict revolve around a defective clone is delicious and hilarious.
		Star Trek: Nemesis (hereafter Nemesis) is abominable pretension draped in the sheep's frock of sci-fi pulp--pap of the first water invested in undergraduate doubling subtexts and ridiculous stabs at existentialism reminding of the discovery of the wizard of God in the fifth Trek flick.
		The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundmix is more undistinguished than that of Star Trek: Insurrection for belonging to a somehow talkier film, though any time the Enterprise is on a gimbal there is a vigorous amount of bass and some fury that trickles into the rear channels.

	STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER/STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER (SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION) - DVDs
		The Star Trek Universe is a swell assortment of featurettes that begins with "Herman Zimmerman: A Tribute" (19 mins.).
		While Star Trek IV was indeed a warmly humorous adventure, its comedy often arose organically from the fish-out-of-of-water situations in which the time-travelling crew found themselves; here, these lame attempts at humor seem painfully forced, and are so poorly written and clumsily directed as to be groan-inducing.
		While the climax of the film (in which Sybok and company happen upon a malevolent creature who is certainly less than a God) is a rather pedestrian example of science fiction, I find the true import of the film is in its exploration of the talent which Sybok possesses.

	Film Review - Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
		As the film opens, Padmé narrowly escapes an attempt on her life designed to keep her from casting a vote against the army in the Senate.
		And as I began watching the film this afternoon, I was very pleased to note that nearly all of the sore-thumb lines had been dropped and the most extraneous scenes had been cut (no worries fans - I'm sure we'll see them all on the DVD, which you'll be spinning in your players by Thanksgiving).
		Another issue with the latter half of this film, is that there are a few moments that could have been cut as unnecessary that weren't.

		Although musical numbers abound, A STAR IS BORN is not typical of the genre, for the music does not form the primary structure of the film.
		The film A STAR IS BORN, the 1954 Judy Garland musical for Warner Bros., has been through nearly as many trials and tribulations as any real-life movie-star wannabe to maintain its reputation and realism.
		A Star Is Born is a disturbing film for all the wrong reasons.

		After the last Star Trek film, Star Trek: Generations, I really thought that this group of TV writers and producers just couldn't hack it on the big screen.

		An offshoot of the gangster films of the 1930’s, film noir (literal French translation "fl film") was a style of filmmaking that lasted from the 1940's to the 1960's.
		Riddled with cops, criminals, private detectives and femme fatales, film noir reflects the dark underbelly of human nature.
		Influenced by German Expressionism, film noirs are characterized by their expressionistic lighting.

	UGO.com Film/TV - Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home DVD review of the Paramount Star Trek movie
		Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (buy now) was, and still is, the odd duck of the entire Trek franchise, let alone Trek film.
		Perhaps the reason simply is that the previous film, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, was almost relentlessly dark; Star Trek needed a breather and escape from that nihilism.
		As time has wore on, Star Trek IV is not as fresh as any of the films surrounding it; it has become dated while the others have aged well, notwithstanding the 1979 pajama costumes in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

	CBC.ca - Arts - Film - Star Wars Makes Me Sleepy
		While I totally disagree with almost everything in Katrina Onstad's rant about the Star Wars series of films, what I find most upsetting about her article is the lack or respect she shows not only her subject, but it's creator and the individuals who have enjoyed his creation.
		Star Wars brought a genre, science-fiction, into the cinematic mainstream in a way that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is just replicating now for fantasy.
		The "Star Wars" trilogies and the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series are seemingly the only things he has done, either as an executive producer, writer or director.

	Star Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Star Wars melds science with supernatural elements that strongly relate to epic stories and fairy tales (for example, magic, knights, witches, princesses and 'whimsical' alien races such as Ewoks and Gungans).
		For his part, Lucas claimed in a segment filmed for the THX-remastered VHS release of the original trilogy that the original Star Wars story was intended as a single film but was later split into three because the story was too long to be told in a single film.
		Each film was released as a two-disc set with the 2004 versions of the films on one disc, and the original, unaltered film on the second disc, as a bonus feature.

		Sounddesigner Ben Burtt's responsibility on Star Wars was to create specifically unusual sounds - weapons, vehicles, character and key backgrounds.

		Since we were going to design a visual world that had rust and dents and dirt, we wanted a sound which had Squeaks and motors that may not be the smooth-sounding or quite.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Star Wars
		Because Star Wars is so much a part of modern media culture, and therefore part of mass consciousness, the films can themselves be viewed as a partial reflection of contemporary thought.
		The fact that the new films have addressed these more philosophical issues may be a testament to the popularity of the series — that Lucas can sprinkle existential ponderings among the light-sabre duels.
		Star Wars’ recognition of the importance placed on personal values is a further example of its connection with the culture in which it is produced.

	FMS: Feature [Boldly Gone: The Final "Star Trek" Score – Jon Burlingame]
		The Star Trek series were among the few weekly shows left in American television to consistently use an orchestra, and McCarthy's deft handling of the music was a significant but underrated factor in providing pace, excitement and emotional content on all four series.
		Nine of Star Trek's 16 Emmy nominations in the music categories have been for McCarthy scores, and he is the only Trek composer to have won twice: for the "Unification" score in TNG's 1991-92 season, and for the main title theme of DS9 in 1992-93.
		McCarthy praised the producers for their "flat-out loyalty" over the years, and spoke warmly of the "total freedom" he was given from the beginning of the series in 1987.
