Fan Remakes The Wrath of Kahn Mutura Battle

Star Trek fans are no doubt suffering from the lack of new content on a regular basis, and we are soon left to fend for ourselves. One such fan, mylex67, has re-imagined the Mutura Battle in TWOK, and we are delighted with the effort. The video combines new CG elements with existing movie footage, blended together for a smooth viewing experience. The quality of fan created media continues to impress me, and this one is no exception. Here's to more entertaining creations from a very important component of science fiction, the fan. Video below.

Star Trek is Just Around the Corner (Infographic)

 

It was a different technological world when Star Trek first hit the airwaves. There were no personal computers, smartphones were only something you find in science fiction stories, and man had not even ventured to the moon. Yet the show was able to paint a future where technology worked with everyday life to the better of mankind.

But that snapshot view, rooted in science fiction, is becoming closer to reality with each year. In many ways the smartphone has become both communicator and tricorder, of sorts. And it is only getting better with each advance. So, let’s take a look at the infographic, which examines how Star Trek really is just around the corner (except for the starships – that will still take a while…).

Warp Drive Ambiance

Have you ever wanted to imagine that you are cruising through the universe in your very own warp capable starship? If you have, Youtube user CrysKnife007 must share your sentiment, since they have put together a YouTube video to help others do exactly that. CrysKnife007 took a sample of the background engine noise from Star Trek The Next Generation (TNG) and looped it into a massive 24 hour audio focused video.

Not only is this great for those seeking to experience a little warp drive in their life, but I think it is also a great noise to fall asleep with. I would say that it was a good way to warp off to dreamland, but that would probably be a little too corny. Good thing I didn't say it! Video is below.

Warp Drive

Warp drive is a faster-than-light (FTL) propulsion system in the setting of many science fiction works, most notably Star Trek. A spacecraft equipped with a warp drive may travel at velocities greater than that of light by many orders of magnitude, while circumventing the relativistic problem of time dilation.
