If you want to know what’s going on in the Star Trek movie coming out near the middle of May, you’ve got two options today. You first option is to wait until May 17th and go to your local movie theater for some up-close-and-personal action like a normal, decent person. Your second option is to watch the newest trailer released for the film today, complete with more spoilers than you’ll feel clean about having watched.
What you’re about to read may make you cry – it’s riddled with what you might consider spoilers, or what you might consider near-spoilers that simply take the film to a new level of “must see” in your mind. The first big item revealed in the trailer released this week is the fact that the ship you’ve seen crash-landing into the water in previous trailers is, indeed, the Enterprise.
What you’ll find here is the markings of the one and only NCC-1701 A herself plummeting toward the planet Earth. You’ll also see the ship having gone into battle against our newest enemy, finding a much larger ship with essentially the same build facing off against the Enterprise, and that ship rising from the water after its crash. So you know the whole plot by now, right?
This film will be released in just under a month’s time and there, at last, you’ll find yourself seeing the full truth. Have a peek at our Star Trek tag portal for more information on the Star Trek Into Darkness release and stay tuned for the final drop!

Just as you were getting used to watching movies in 3D, the latest round of movie-watching technology is on the horizon: 4DX. The so-called fourth dimension of movie watching, 4DX gives movie goers an immersive experience with the use of moving seats, scents, wind, and more to make the action seem like its happening for real. Starting next Friday, those in Nagoya will be able to watch Iron Man 3 in 4DX.
4DX movies utilize seats that move, special lighting, equipment to spray scents, blowing air to simulate wind, and even ceiling-embedded equipment for dropping bubbles. The 4DX movies won’t necessarily be shown in 3D, however. Both 3D and 2D options are available, priced at $13 and $10, respectively. The price is on top of regular ticket prices.
Although you won’t come across any 4DX movies in the United States yet – you’d probably be hard-pressed to find someone who has even heard of it – the technology is already in use in many countries, including China, Mexico, Thailand, Russia, South Korea, and several more. The US should begin seeing 4DX-equipped theaters popping up this year, with CJ Group planning to have 200 theaters prepared over the next 5 years.
Korona World will be screening the movie, and has plans to show a dozen titles a year in 4DX. A company spokesman, Tagiki Ishiguro, spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the planned showing: “It was really a matter of timing that Iron Man became the first title for 4DX in Japan, though we were looking for a blockbuster action film, as that is what works best with the system.”

When Disney acquired Lucasfilm back in October and announced Star Wars Episode VII, we knew right away that the long-time franchise was about to be heavily kickstarted, and we were certainly right. Today, Disney announced at CinemaCon that a new Star Wars movie will be released every summer starting in 2015 with Episode VII.
We’ve known for some time that there are going to be multiple Star Wars film in the future, including standalone films, but today’s news is certainly a new development. We’ve even been teased with Star Wars Episode VIII, which isn’t announced yet, but there will surely be a move to come after Episode VII.
The Disney films of the movies and the standalone films are said to alternative summers, meaning that Episode VIII would come out in 2017, with Episode IX releasing in 2019. The years in between would be the standalone films that will focus on individual characters in the Star Wars universe, such as Yoda, Han Solo, and Boba Fett.
Star Trek director JJ Abrams is on board to direct Star Wars Episode VII, with the script being written by Michael Arndt, who penned movies like Little Miss Sunshine, Toy Story 3, and Brave. He also wrote the screenplay for The Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire. Several actors from the original Star Wars trilogy are also reported to be returning for this latest movie.

The lesser known out of the three Steve Jobs movies comes from comedy and humor website Funny or Die, who was the last one to announce a Steve Jobs biopic after JOBS and Sony’s own biopic were announced earlier. This one is called iSteve, and it stars has-been actor Justin Long, who starred in those popular classic Mac ads with John Hodgman.
The entire 79-minute movie is available to watch for free on Funny or Die’s website, and the trailer is below if you want to get a teaser on what to expect. However, you’ll certainly have to have an open mind in order to find it funny or entertaining. It’s certainly not up to blockbuster standards, but it is a comedy website after all.
It’s almost as if the movie is a parody of the upcoming Steve Jobs biopics, but Funny or Die does a pretty terrible job at making it entertaining in some way. Justin Long (who plays Steve Jobs) has always kind of been of a loose cannon, and Jorge Garcia (who plays Steve Wozniak) is slightly bad at the role. However, if you’re expecting to get some stupid-humor out of it, rather than accurate drama like what we’ll see in JOBS, this may be the movie for you.
Justin Long has a long history with Apple, though. He most known as portraying the Mac in the Mac vs. PC ads that use to air all the time on television. These ads featured John Hodgman as the PC, and the two would go back and forth on computer tasks that they could better than the other, with the Mac ultimately winning in the end due to its “cool” factor.

The core of any good movie service is… good movies. We’re glad to hear, then, that Sky Movies has struck a years-long deal with UK outlet Entertainment Film Distributors to stream a large number of recent and back-catalog titles. The pact gives Sky access to Silver Linings Playbook and a slew of other notable movies during the initial pay-per-view and pay TV windows, which usually start six months after the releases leave theaters and last for over a year. The agreement isn’t so hot for those on rival services when Sky has an exclusive on subscription access, but its viewing is at least independent of both the platform and business model: customers can see the newly added flicks through a Now TV pass on their phones or rent them through the Sky Movies Box Office, for example. Older included titles like Gangs of New York are already available; if you’ve been waiting for Sky to get a healthier video selection before signing up, now’s as good a time as any to take a closer look.

When we saw Man of Steel’s first trailer, we thought Superman never looked so badass. Now after seeing this longer trailer, well, OH MY GOD. It’s everything you want in a superhero movie: origin, self doubt, internal conflict, great looking actors, ridiculous action sequences and explosively explosions on explosions on explosions. Oh yeah, and a lot of awesome flying. [Man of Steel] More »
