Von Der Quelle Des Unheils Zum Optimismus Von der Quelle des Unheils zum Optimismus "Star Trek Into Darkness" von J. J. Abrams von Marc Hairapetian Hätte sich "Star Trek"-Schöpfer Gene Roddenberry (1921 - 1991) träumen lassen, dass sein Raumschiff Enterprise auch fast 40 Jahre nach seiner ersten (Trickfilm-)Fahrt durch die unbekannten Regionen unseres Universum weltweit ein Millionenpublikum begeistert? Vielleicht ja. Der in Texas geborene ehemalige B-17-Bomberpilot der Army Air Force, der als Drehbuchautor von Serien wie "Polizeibericht", "Dr. Kildare" und "The Lieutenant" seinen künstlerischen Durchbruch schaffte, glaubte an Humanismus und Internationalismus. In seinem Meisterstück "Raumschiff Enterprise" (im Original "Star Trek", 1966 - 1969) entwarf er in Zeiten des kalten Krieges eine weitgehend positive Zukunft, in der Menschen aller Rassen und Aliens aller Schattierungen in friedlicher Ko-Existenz leben und weiße Männer schwarze Frauen küssen. Sechs Jahre nach seinem Tod war er einer der ersten der mittels einer (realen) Pegasus-XL-Rakete Teile seiner Asche im Weltraum bestatten lies. 2014 sollen weitere Teile seiner Asche mit denen seiner 2008 verstorbenen Frau Majel Barrett in das All befördert werden. Eingefleischte "Trekkies" vermissen seine visionären Geschichten, in denen seine wohl berühmtesten Figuren, der all zu menschliche Captain Kirk (gespielt von William Shatner) und der rationale Vulkanier Mr. Spock (kongenial verkörpert von Leonard Nimoy), intergalaktische Probleme mit Emotion versus Logik lösen. Auch wenn das Relaunch von Regisseur J. J. Abrams nicht ganz den Charme der Zukunftswelten aus den Swinging Sixties entfaltet, konnte sich sein "Star Trek"-Debüt von 2008 mehr als sehen lassen. Die Findung der deutlich verjüngten Crew-Mitglieder war dramatisch, amüsant und sexy zugleich. Wie Roddenberry setzte er bei allen Zugeständnissen an die digitalen Spielereinen, die das heutige Kino bietet, eher auf die Reflexion von gesellschaftlichen Zuständen, statt fiktive Technologien zu fokussieren. Sein zweiter Streich "Star Trek Into Darkness", der insgesamt zwölfte Film für die große Leinwand der im Zeitraum von 1986 - 2387 nach Christus spielenden Science- Fiction-Reihe, die, wenn man alle Ableger ("Raumschiff Enterprise", "Die Enterprise", "Raumschiff Enterprise: Das nächste Jahrhundert", "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", "Star Trek: Raumschiff Voyager", "Enterprise" und "Star Trek: Enterprise") zusammenzählt, auf 728 Episoden kommt, hätte Roddenberry sicher mit Stolz erfüllt. Der in 2D gedrehte und (unnötiger Weise) in 3D nachbearbeitete Film spielt in einer alternativen Zeitlinie des Star-Trek-Universums und stellt den von Chris Pine interpretierten James "Jim" Tiberius Kirk und seine Mannschaft, in der fast die Hälfte Frauen sind, gleich zu Beginn vor drastische Probleme: Auf dem Planeten Nibiru, laut antiker Mythologie eine "Quelles des Unheils", versucht das Enterprise-Team die dort wenig entwickelte Zivilisation vor einem Vulkanausbruch zu schützen. Dabei wird Spock (Zachary Quinto) fast getötet. Kirk kann ihn zwar retten, doch er verletzt damit die oberste Direktive der Föderation, die keine Einflussnahme in die Entwicklung fremder Kulturen duldet. So wird ihm das Kommando über die Enterprise entzogen. Erst nach einem Anschlag auf ein als Archiv getarntes Waffenlabor der Sternenflotte kann er sich rehabilitieren, doch mit dem Terroristen John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch) trifft er auf einen mit allen Wassern gewaschenen Gegenspieler, der sich obendrein noch als vor 300 Jahren in Tiefschlaf versetzter, gentechnisch veränderter Soldat Khan entpuppt. Flottenadmiral Marcus (Peter Weller) liess ihn auftauen, um ihn für seine Zwecke zu benutzen. Ein Verwirrspiel beginnt, in dem Kirk weder Feind noch Freund trauen kann. Heroismus und Humor, Monumentalität und Menschlichkeit gehen in "Star Trek Into Darkness" eine Allianz ein, wobei die Grundstimmung - wie der Titel schon verrät - düster ist. Doch in dem Figuren zentriertem Drama, das zwischen Kammerspiel und Spektakel geschickt die Balance hält, wollen Kirk und Co. auf Dauer nicht in Depressionen verfallen - und letztendlich gewinnt der Optimismus wieder die Oberhand. Darstellerisch ist der Film außergewöhnlich stark, was vor allem am differenzierten Spiel von Benedict Cumberbatch liegt. Aber auch Bruce Greenwood als loyaler Vorgesetzter Admiral Pike überzeugt. Und die mit süßem Sexappeal betörende Zoë Saldaña als Lieutenant Nyoto Uhura kann es mit ihrer Kult verdächtigen Vorgängerin Nichelle Nichols aufnehmen. Der rhythmisch vorwärtstreibende Soundtrack von Michael Giacchino punktet mit einem eigenen, leicht fatalistisch anmutenden "Star Trek Main Theme", dass der furiosen alten Melodie von Alexander Courage seine Referenz erweist. Nicht alles neu macht der Mai, doch im Fall von "Star Trek Into Darkness" ist einer der besten "Trekkie"-Kinofilme seit Robert Wises legendären Opener "Star Trek: Der Film" (1979) herausgekommen! Marc Hairapetian am 9. Mai 2013 für SPIRIT EIN LÄCHELN IM STURM www.spirit-fanzine.de .

  • LAMORINDA WEEKLY | "Star Trek Into Darkness"
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | "Star Trek Into Darkness" Published May 22nd, 2013 "Star Trek Into Darkness" By Derek Zemrak One of the most famous quotes in the Star Trek legacy is "Where no man has gone before!" This film is a huge undertaking for any director of the Star Trek franchise that has created more than 700 television shows and 12 movies. At first glance into the galaxy, I would say man has gone everywhere, but surprisingly director J.J. Abrams, who directed the first reboot in 2009, delivers a detailed storyline and a movie that is exhilarating to watch on the big screen. Moviegoers will be on the edge of their seats as they experience a brilliantly shot film, while they cheer on the Enterprise crew to succeed in battle against the evil villain of mass destruction. Once again Chris Pine ("Bottle Shock," "Rise of the Guardians") returns as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto ("Margin Call," "Heroes," "American Horror Story") portrays Spock. As with the cult popular television series, it is the ensemble cast that makes it all work, with Zoe Saldana ("Avatar") as Uhura, Karl Urban ("The Lord of the Rings") as Bones, Simon Pegg ("Ice Age") as Scotty, and John Cho From left: Zachary Quinto is Spock and Chris Pine is ("Harold & Kumar") as Sulu. It should be noted that not one Kirk in "Star Trek Into Darkness" from Paramount of these cast members is a scene hog like William Shatner Pictures and Skydance Productions.

    American Archivist Reviews Date posted: May 23, 2019 http://reviews.americanarchivist.org “Still So Much to Learn”: Star Trek and the Archives Reviewed by Samantha Cross, CallisonRTKL, Inc. The Star Trek franchise is not an easy topic to pare down considering its more than 50 years worth of canonical television, movies, comics, novels, and supplemental material to sift through. Academically speaking, there’s no shortage of scholarly papers addressing issues of race, gender, sexuality, technology, ethics, and morality as depicted in all these mediums.1 And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how Star Trek has been and will continue to be examined as each generation comes to understand the franchise within the context of their reality. The impact and influence of Gene Rodenberry’s creation are vast, and its place in popular culture endures. What started as a hopeful idea of a diverse and prosperous future has become a bold statement of equality across all aspects of identity even if it fumbles the message from time to time. Viewers, for the most part, tune in to get a glimpse of an aspirational future where humans have managed not to destroy one another; where the voyages of starships like the Enterprise, Voyager, and Discovery bring a sense of curiosity, empathy, and adventure as their crews journey into the unknown. So, where do archives fit into the final frontier? Should you endeavor to do an online search for anything related to Star Trek, I’d advise you to hunker down and settle in especially if your interest lies in a niche topic within the Trek universe.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 2 Stellar Cosmopolitans: Star Trek and a Federation of Species In which I trace the plot of alliance in Star Trek through the figure of Mr. Spock, the nerd protagonist of a stellar cosmopolis. The movement fromLoser to Alliance constitutes a metanarrative endemic to nerd culture. As the “alien half-breed” of the original series, Spock inhabits the paradoxical role of the superior degenerate, a corruption of pure blood from an advanced civilization. At the same time, he is the machine, the personification of mathematical accuracy, redeemed from his isolation by friendship with the crew of the Enterprise. The ship thereby becomes a microcosm of the United Federation of Planets, a galactic and democratic state. Spock serves as the lynchpin of Trek’s cosmopolitan project, revaluing the nerd as the hero of trans-species friendship. By virtue of this trajectory, Spock invites resistance from the proponents of eugenics, whose avatar is Khan Noonian Singh, the mortal foe of the Enterprise. Khan stands for the tyranny of pure blood, and by rejecting him, Trek grounds its cosmopolitics in egalitarian pluralism, which gradually extends to Hortas and whales, Klingons and cyborgs.

  • Live in Concert at the Royal Albert Hall
    News by David Sztypuljak - Jun 2, 2014 0 Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Google+ 0 Stumble 0 Reddit Total: 0 Star Trek: Into Darkness is the second movie in the J.J. Abrams rebooted version of the Gene Roddenberry sci-fi series and it was our privilege to go along to the Saturday evening performance of Star Trek: Live in Concert. What made the performance ever greater was the event took place at the world famous Royal Albert Hall in London, and was performed by the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra. The group were formed in 1999 by conductor Ludwig Wicki who took control of his musicians performing the score written by Michael Giacchino. The Orchestra have worked previously on the likes of Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, and the James Bond film series. Giacchino was obviously extremely honoured to have his work played at this fantastic venue and filmed everyone saying hello to his kids back in the states (you can see it in the video below). The film score for Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness are just breathtaking, so watching and listening to the orchestra perform was magical. For those who’ve never been before, the film is shown on a huge screen above the orchestra and choir but is slightly silenced with the subtitles on screen so that the orchestra can be heard overall. It’s a very strange experience being completely immersed by such an amazing orchestra with the magnificent acoustics that the Albert Hall gives. Sometimes you’ll find yourself look at the screening then looking down to be reminded that everything you’re hearing is happening live.
