Captain Ake, recently appointed Chancellor of Starfleet Academy, is transporting her ship full of cadets to Earth when the USS Athena is ambushed by Nus Braka and the Venari Ral, who trap them using advanced, shape-shifting technology. Braka then appears on the Athena’s bridge as a hologram, ready to face off against his long-time rival, Ake.
The new series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy launched on Paramount+ on January 15th and has received mixed reactions. Critics generally like it, giving it an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but viewers are less enthusiastic with a score of 37%. These scores are based on 31 critic reviews and over 100 viewer ratings, so they may change as more people share their opinions. Here’s a look at how this compares to ratings for other Star Trek shows.
Shows like Dark Matter delve into the idea of multiple universes and different realities, while Foundation focuses on the potential downfall of society and how to prevent it. Severance takes a more realistic, though still mind-bending, approach. Overall, the streaming service clearly understands science fiction and is successfully building a connected universe of shows.
Carla hopes moving into a new apartment will finally launch her career, but it comes with a spooky catch – the place is haunted and has a disturbing past. As she chases her dreams, she risks straining her friendship with Sam (Julia Maqueo) and, even worse, encountering real ghosts.
The most recent update on the DCU Batman movie indicated that the script was still being written, and Andy Muschietti, director of The Flash, was confirmed to direct. There hasn’t been much news since then – until now, potentially.
George R.R. Martin recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about upcoming projects related to the world of Game of Thrones. The Reporter shared that the previously announced series focusing on the Sea Snake is now planned as an animated show instead of a live-action one, likely to reduce production costs.
Movie theaters are expected to be very busy, likely as crowded as they were on July 21, 2023 – the day both Oppenheimer and Barbie were released. Fans playfully combined the titles, calling the event “Barbenheimer,” and the excitement surrounding both films helped them become huge successes.
Keke Palmer is a talented actor, but it’s an unfair challenge to ask anyone to recreate Tom Hanks’ iconic role in The ‘Burbs. This new TV show seems destined to fail, and it’s another example of streaming services damaging classic movies by needlessly turning them into series. It appears The ‘Burbs remake won’t be successful.
I’m having trouble understanding why Colt Johnson and Cortney Reardanz are on Season 5 of 90 Day: The Single Life. While I was excited to see someone from 90 Day: Hunt For Love – like Elise on Before The 90 Days – join a spinoff, I’m not convinced this is a good fit.
The attempt to recapture the buzz of the ‘Barbenheimer’ phenomenon with new movie pairings didn’t quite work as well. While both Barbie and Oppenheimer were hits, only Wicked found similar success. But don’t worry, Robert Downey Jr. is bringing the fun back later this year with a new pairing he’s playfully called “Dunesday” – a combination of Dune and Wednesday.
