Image: ParamountStar Trek is no stranger to cinema, and the franchise’s quality of films tends to fluctuate with each new release. We’ve seen plenty of pretty good films from the series, and we’ve also seen films that weren’t as good as they could’ve been. Everyone’s got their own favorites, but if there’s one thing that can be agreed upon, it’s that Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan stands above the rest.Released exactly today in 1982, Khan served as a sequel to both the original 1979 Star Trek film, and the 1967 episode,…

Google has updated its Play Movies & TV app, giving a new name in the process. That name is Google TV and the refresh is more than skin deep. Users have some new features to enjoy! The rebrand brings with it a number of changes including the ability to "select your streaming services to browse movies and shows from across your apps all in one place," which sounds cool. There's support for content recommendations and more, too, but the big improvement is one that will help people do away with all of those silly little…

CLIMATEWIRE | India has experienced a series of unusually early and prolonged heat waves this year. To cool off, the country has leaned on the fuel most responsible for the blazing temperatures. Coal generation is surging to meet the demands of cooling systems like fans and some air conditioning, prompting a scramble by the Indian government to reopen mines and secure tons of coal imports to produce electricity as temperatures reach as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit. But the carbon-intense fuel also contributes to the…

I don’t often trust remakes and reboots, particularly when they arrive in screens 36 years after the original. So I’ll admit, despite my admiration for Tom Cruise and love for Top Gun, I was a little cagey about Top Gun: Maverick when it was first announced. It took the film all of 10 minutes to throw all my apprehensions out the window. Top Gun: Maverick is a visually-stunning, well-made film that reminds us all why Tom Cruise is a superstar. The film has its flaws--mainly that it uses predictable tropes--but not for…

Today, No Man’s Sky launches Leviathan, the game’s newest expedition that offers perhaps the most interesting gameplay experience yet. In the Leviathan launch trailer, a mysterious message splashes across the screen telling the player that “death is not the end” and that they must “re-enter the loop.” If you think that language sounds a little roguelike (heh), you’re right.
