Comparison Of J. Abrams And Star Trek

Star Trek continues to be a cultural phenomenon because of the timeliness of the philosophies it strives to incorporate in its narratives. Furthermore, the series and its creator, Gene Roddenberry, advocate the core natures of humanity: its innate goodness, the beauty in its diversity, and its curiosity. These advocacies continue to enlighten a new generation of viewers and engender principles of embracing difference and transcending the present to achieve

What goes through the mind of the creator of Star Wars?George Lucas has given people a new culture and has led the film industry into a whole new era. What goes through the mind of a creator is a muse, something that will catch his eye as well as yours. The man who created the most influential and created a new culture. George Lucas is a notable American because he has given a new culture, and something to fall in love with.

Good movies have a great impact on culture, the movie industry, and even our own lives. The power of film is exhibited through the many movies that have impacted both society and cultural throughout the world, such as Jaws, Casablanca, and The Godfather. One of the most enduring films of all time is Star Wars, directed by George Lucas. It is timeless because it is a classic representation of the science fiction genre of the late 1970s and early 1980s. What makes it so timeless is that even though it has an effect on today’s pop culture, it was heavily influenced by Japanese culture and films.

Since I was 4 years old, Star Wars has been an active force in my life. What began as a method of entertainment grew into something that shaped how I view the world. At a first glance, Star Wars is simply the story of a farmer-boy given a quest to save the galaxy. From an analytical and historical perspective, it is so much more. Despite the general resentment for the “prequel” movies, the movies have redeeming values in terms of symbolism.

Star Wars was first released in May 1977. It is a series of movies based on an epic space adventure and was created by George Lucas. The franchise depicts a galaxy described as "far, far away" in the distant past, and portrays two important characterization like the Jedi as a representation of good, in conflict with the Sith, their evil counterpart. The overall box office produced over 4.38 billion dollars, making Star Wars one of the fifth highest grossing films of all time. Many believe the film would not have reached its highest without the prominently themed music created by John Williams. The renowned themes 'the force' and 'imperial march' are one of Williams most widely known music scores and motion pictures of all history. John Williams was able to vividly depict the characters conflict between good and evil through the use of musical elements like timbre, pitch and duration to create the individual characters.

Star Wars and Star Trek have been one of the most popular series invented. For many years now people have gone to events called comic-cons. These events are where people dress up as a character of their choice and do activities. These two subjects that were chosen for this compare and contrast essay were picked out by a birthmark. A birthmark on me myself that looks like the Star Trek symbol. This birthmark has led me to want to know a little more about these two popular movies.

Throughout the years the lifelong question that we desperately try to answer, which one is better Star Wars or Star Trek. These films have been out for decades both films have touched our hearts about the wonders and discovery of space, and both have many loyal fans who would go to the extremes and then be wrong about the franchise they love so much. Even though Star Wars and Star Trek have different concepts, they both have similar themes and motives.

When I was growing up I loved watching TV and Movies. I loved being able to just tune out the problems of your world and for a couple of hours you could be transported to another world and just all of the problems of your world just melted away. I loved almost every genre of movies and TV but one of my favorites was always Sci-Fi, and when you’re thinking of Sci-Fi most people will think of two main series; Star Wars and Star Trek. When I saw that we were writing an essay about comparing and contrasting the first thing that my mind leapt was to compare two of my favorite series growing up. Today I am going to talk about several similarities and differences between two very popular and historic series.

The final trilogy of the Star Wars saga will leave geeks of the beloved films immensely disappointed. Georg Lucas noninvolvement in the concluding chapters stings like throwing salt on an open wound, with the franchises’ rights recently obtained by Disney. With this in mind, Disney has chosen to hand the keys to the kingdom for JJ Abrams to oversee. This gives Abrams the opportunity to gamble with reviving this presumed ailing sci-fi franchise (depends on who you ask?) is truly a mistake. In reality Abrams selected by Lucas to direct the seventh film originally looked great on paper, but his record of missteps in films and television brings up the question. If we can trust that Abrams is the right person to capture the lore that many geeks around the world feels when it comes to Star Wars?

Drawing on its seemingly never-ending popularity, the Star Trek franchise got rebooted with a brand new cast and two big budget movies under the directions of J.J. Abrams in 2009. But while the original movies and television series were famous for their progressive ideas and diverse cast, the reboot does seem more conventional. Borrowing generously from the traditions of classical narrative cinema, it seems to attempt to not intimidate potential new audiences with the vastness and complexities of the original Star Trek Universe by simplifying it and in doing so loses much of its progressiveness. In the example of the second instalment of the Star Trek-reboot, Star Trek: Into Darkness, the plot supposedly revolves around the threat of superhuman

Throughout the past few decades, there has been an explosion of fandom in all things nerdy. Though most of humanity looks at wars as something to fear, and if possible, avoid, one war has been waging for some time now on which is better. This is the battle of Star Wars vs. Star Trek. If one needs to decide who the winner of this battle would be, one would need to grasp a better understanding of what both Star Wars and Star Trek are, comparatively, and the differences between them as well. As someone who has a love for both of these separate entities, I feel as if Star Wars is a gritty science fantasy take on space opera that encompasses the heroic journey and the cinema serial. Star Trek is a utopian exploration fantasy embracing cultural

Motion Pictures have always had a strong influence in today’s culture, but maybe none as prevalent as Star Wars. Originating with Episode 4 A New Hope, the series boomed from 1977 to 2005 with yet another addition coming in 2015. The strongest of the series was the original trilogy episodes 4, 5, and 6, all generally released in the 1980s. As one of the strongest film francaises still today, it’s impact within the 1980s was only the tip of the iceberg. Children and adults alike still anticipate the new edition of this seemingly endless journey. If any singular film series still holds prevalence in its future decades it is Star Wars: Original Trilogy.

Francis Ford Coppola is the visionary director of the Godfather. He is credited with transforming the entire cinema industry. Joss Whedon is the not so visionary director of Avengers Age of Ultron. Whedon recently compared himself to Coppola when he said: “I tried to make age of Ultron in a similar style to Godfather. The mix of action and drama has a perfect balance I want to strike in my film.” Well I can tell you now Joss that you failed. Cutting every 2 seconds so the audience doesn’t notice the CGI in no way compares to Coppola’s subtlety and tension. If Joss Whedon is the new Francis Ford Coppola, then the movie industry must be in major trouble right? Wrong, in fact it is booming. And bad directors like Joss Whedon are not just making terrible films. They are polluting our cinemas with rip offs, remakes and reboots. Hollywood no longer seems to care about making good movies. They are money driven, bloated and stale. We need to demand more of the movie industry to stop it churning out these unoriginal films.

The film I picked for my critique is Red Tails, a historical World War II drama. The movie starred Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard and Gerald Mcraney, was written by John Ridley and Aaron McGruder, better known as the creator of the comic strip “the boondocks”, from a book by John B. Holway, directed by Anthony Hemingway and produced by George Lucas . In this paper the author will show how all elements of filmmaking

For years Americans have looked to the skies, dreaming of the intergalactic future, and Hollywood has filmed the skies, latching onto America’s love for fictional space travel. Of the numerous cosmic entertainment franchises, Star Trek and Star Wars undoubtedly claim the title of the two most successful, and with great power comes great controversy. As long as the two franchises have existed, Star Trek and Star Wars have sparked some of the most intense conflicts that could possibly occur between nerds. With lightsabers in hand and phasers set to stun, Star Wars and Star Trek ignite battles at the box office, with critics and among super fans to ultimately decide which is the most popular.
