Star Trek

We start in the future. An alien time-travels from that future's future and alters key events. In the resulting past, we watch Kirk and crew come together as younger, better-looking space adventurers. In the future.

Geek Candy: Artificial gravity, a new spin on teleportation, phasers and a black-hole bomb. Oh, and Kirk gets into a bar fight — possibly with aliens.

EGQ: Off the charts. This franchise practically invented tech gibberish, or Treknobabble, and the writers have promised plenty more.

In theaters: May 8.

How does the lead female character keep from breaking her ankles wearing those shoes?

I've been reading PM since I Got my first Library Pass back in Grade school, 1959. The times have changed but the Ideas are close to the same, Just newer ways at looking at the same old thing. But I must say that, The articles helped keep me in the, " High Grades ", throughout School.
I only have one wish, That is; Copy & Download a Years worth of Full Magazine's [PM & PS ]Going back to the 50's, 60's, 70's, Etc... for a reasonable Price & My fellow Geeks & I, will beat a path to your door & Make you even more wealthy. How about Reviving the " Idea Box ", Some of those D.I.Y. Ideas were Great.
