And it is not already Paramount had announced two weeks before the premiere of Star Trek (2009), but because following its world premiere this weekend will guarantee data. Variety holders on its website (l to Hollywood bible information regarding the movie studios and their "establishment" means) and forward a very good box office results compared with the rest of the adventure film in the series .

The fact is that this weekend has obtained an income of just over $ 76 million and 35 million worldwide (except for Mexico which has been delayed by the issue of influenza A, given the prohibition to attend mass events made by the Mexican government, with the intention of preventing the spread of the virus). I remember at this point that the three latest releases in our continent, could not stand each release over two weekends, as it was doomed to only fans of the franchise would remain in the cinemas.

Then I leave some of the headlines that Variety has made for this purpose:
Star Trek beams up $ 76.5 million
Paramount's franchise reboot tops box office

So much for the North American box office (including the wink trekkie in the headline of the beam up. I remind you that Beam Me Up Scotty-Scotty-Teletranspórtame is one of the most famous phrases of the original series, the voice of James T. Kirk) .
'Star' treks to top of U.S. foreign box office
Paramount pic nabs $ 35.5 million overseas

And this one title refers to the collection abroad. I suppose that Paramount must be satisfied, because with a good script for the 12th delivery and a good viral marketing campaign (on the Internet) as has been done with this film have grown enough so that there appeared a new generation trekkie that needs to feed next to the old cinematically to which I belong.

I will continue to report ...
(They go well for the Trekkie universe )

It's three days, three!, And I are doing forever. The Trekkies been long looking forward to this time. And that much is at stake, as cinematically rejuvenate the franchise is a very engaging challenge to perform.

And it is that doubts about it were important. After the first 6 appointments crew TOS (The Original Series, for the uninitiated), ending with the interesting "The Undiscovered Country" in spite of a geriatric, but endearing crew then came the turn of TNG (The New Generation ) with Picard, finally, in full screen. But the film debut of the new series with David Carson in front of that pastiche called Star Trek Generations, we left everyone dissatisfied.

Then came the hopeful "First Contact", but the rest is best forgotten. And when we had lost hope of seeing a spectacular Star Trek, wondering if one day lead to the movies DS9, Voyager or better initiatory sufferings of Captain Archer and crew aboard the NX-01, is one that JJ Abrahams ( that above is not trekkie) and revolutionized the world of Star Trek.

Maybe there is the question. Perhaps it was necessary that someone did not agree or consecrated the Trekkie universe, rebuild the franchise. At first I had my doubts. That that a layman (and I proud of it) was done with the reins of the eleventh film project saw him more as a heresy, that as a dare.

The truth is that given that most have at the time of his hiring was the nonsense that the Dharma called Lost (Lost), yes here I will have won convincingly that any enemy that one, I got on my nerves. But taking intoaccount has been able to create with his team as Fringe something so exciting, I must admit that things began to paint very well.

So here we are. Three days after the premiere (discussing how I am going to arrange to see the film on its release, if I'll do in Granada or Malaga, if I go to IMAX to see it, if the release in that format around me .... ) we will analyze a bit that we can find.

The truth is that apparently seen in the trailers, leaves no doubt that the word to define it will be spectacular. Let's start by saying that the main character this time are the special effects have gone all out the window of ILM are (finally in a movie of Star Trek!) And of course the casting. A casting made rivers of pixels on websites and blogs about whether it was appropriate or not. The truth is that what I was unnerved was chosen for the role of Spock Zachary Quinto, Sylar of Heroes on! Well, we must recognize that choosing to make Quinto Sylar nemesis has been more than a success, and we see it over with Leonard Nimoy (slurp!).

I must say, still being trekkie, I was wrong Roll the franchise reboot that resuming the TOS crew, from the time they are known in the Starfleet Academy. One is very progressive, but religion does not play (just kidding). But seeing what I've seen so far and the viral macrocampaña producer, I must say that being an exciting experience. And best, have already signed for a Star Trek XII!

What we see on Friday said and discussed in the blogosphere that night.

LIFE LONG AND PROSPER ...

The new film by Alex Proyas is a leap, given the frustrating final. The truth is that combining alien races and a rehash of the Kabbalah and numerology at this point for TV to use, no longer an exercise in risk and voyeaurismo sentenced to a review of genre films (horror and sci-fi ) obliquely.

For a follower, in the distance, the race of the Australian director (who was born in Egypt), this film helps to understand his love of staging and oppressive environments from a psychological point of view , As seen in the disappointing El Cuervo (The Crow), or highly recommended in Dark City , 1998. With that film I firmly believed that we were facing someone who was going to make a new film language to science fiction, a question that I made it clear that, with the food I, Robot (based on Asimov's book), which looked more like a orchestrated film by Michael Bay (director of blockbusters ).

If the atmosphere in Dark City, the cast and the climax, showed a superb combination of elements to provide a new pattern of gender, in Proyas Knowing (the original title of the film in English) comes exhausted, despite the dark and create moments tense that the movie help you reinstatement to a story that loses bellows on many occasions. The score for effect (and trite in the genre) by Marco Beltrami is one more piece of good assembly (Admittedly, the bill film technique is excellent).

But ... Any failure in the final result. I will not discuss the story ( there are many web pages that summarize what is ), even the casting Light with Nicolas Cage is repeated (Where hides the actor who was able to make an unforgettable role as Moonstruck, Wild at Heart and Leaving Las Vegas?) in recent movies so unbearable. It does not help the child deal, except the disturbing child, star of the early history or the appearance of "strangers."

What is really unnerving is the bizarre final, which I think is not convincing or believers of the Book, or militant atheists (and all that remains in the middle). The truth is that make us believe that what we are condemned to live a kind of nightmare is vital, condemned spiral, where everything begins and ends in a Genesis-Revelation eternal conjunction. Come on, this is a tribute to the movie "Trapped in the past," but without humor, without irony, without grace, without its spark (Great movie Harold Ramis, starring Bill Murray). Proyas just what might be a good genre film with a bizarre end, nothing credible, where the human race is reduced to a laboratory experiment of a superior race, which ensures our continuity in the universe for your comfort entertainment.

Finally, if you want to see some good special effects and a few strokes of good effect achieved, no doubt you'll like, if you want to see a horror movie or science fiction, neither one nor the other, it is a strange pastiche. I, for highlighting something, I stay with the plane crash, the feeling is so vivid, it is difficult to digest.

I await your views ... (Note 2 of 5)
