We got back from Dragon*Con 2014 last week, but this is the first chance I’ve had to actually post about it. As always, we had a great time. We got to see Kevin J. Anderson, Jim Butcher, Harry Turtledove, Gene Wolfe, and Walter Koenig. Patrick Stewart was also there, but...
More crowd-funded fan-made sci-fi movie goodness! Take a look at the Kickstarter campaign for Star Trek: Axanar. Their 20 minute prelude film is pretty good, and they are right on target for their budget for the full 90 minute movie! Crowd-funded fan-made sci-fi movies are truly the wave of the...
The fan-made Star Trek Original Series continuation has a new episode out, “Fairest of them All”. Taking place in the Mirror Universe, this episode starts off where the original episode, “Mirror, Mirror”, left off. It is fan-made, but the costumes, props, and special effects are all top notch. The acting...
New leaked Star Wars footage from the Frankfurt airport in Germany. And before you ask, of course it’s a joke. But it demonstrates some really good CGI work by the creators of this little film. Thumbs up!
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming Christopher Nolan film, Interstellar, which comes out this November. It’s hard to tell much about the movie itself, but this could very well be a great sci-fi drama, assuming it’s done right. We’ll just have to see!
While most of us are just waiting for the new Star Wars films to come out, some fans are still hard at work coming up with brilliant new ways to showcase the original films. One such fan-made trailer is this brilliant mash-up of the original trilogy footage to the Guardians...
Looks like the folk at NASA’s Eagleworks are still hard at work on a possibly plausible faster-than-light system, generally known as an Alcubbierre drive, which is sort-of similar to the warp drive of Star Trek fame. If you have an hour to kill, take a look at this informative talk by NASA’s...
Who knows if a live-action Akira movie will ever come to light (and if it ever should–the original movie was perfectly fine, thank you very much), but this fan-made live-action Akira trailer is certainly awesome. Major kudos to the fans who took the time and effort to put this together.
In a nostalgic flashback to Japanese anime of the 1980s, Space Pirate Captain Harlock is returning in a new 3D animated movie. James Cameron says of the film “This movie is already legendary.” Judging from this trailer, it does look to be pretty awesome. It’s been a long time since the old...
The US Navy’s latest, most technologically advanced destroyer has just hit the water, and it is to be commanded by none other than Captain James Kirk. No joke. Not only is the new USS Zumwalt designed with classified stealth technologies, but will very likely be fitted with an electromagnetic railgun and directed...
