There are many age old debates in nerd culture, Marvel vs DC, Mac Vs PC, weather or not Han shot first. But none so vicious is Star Wars Vs Star Trek. This 39 year sparring match is less of a fight and more of a death match with fans of both biting at each other to do dawn supremacy over one another. Both of these flagship franchises have advantiges and disadvatiges which make them equal in most rights. Star Trek started in 1966, a full 13 years before George Lucas’s flagship film “Star Wars” was viewed on screen.

Numerous screenwriters and directors have often dealt in their films with the theme of borders, whether literal and officially recognised, like military ranks or state frontiers, or abstract and metaphorical, like those of morality, justice, race, and gender, along with several others. As a consequence, as John Gibbs points out, one could assemble these movies, especially those taking place on the confines between Mexico and United States, under the label of ‘border films’ (2002: 27); thus contextualising them in a very specific tradition, which includes pictures such as Touch of Evil (Orson Welles 1958) or The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (Tommy Lee Jones 2005). Accordingly, another notable movie belonging to the ‘border film tradition’ is Lone Star: an acclaimed 1996 hybrid of western and mystery film conventions, directed and written by independent filmmaker John Sayles. The picture recounts the story of a murder investigation, which leads the main character, Sheriff Sam

The time-frame of "Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi" does not even last a week and in this time-frame the entire republic is destroyed, the rebellion is reduced to less then 50 people and everybody interesting inside the Star Wars Universe is dead.

Typical human behavioral in my opinion. My last similar event I say had to be the stormtroopers behaviors towards the group. They reminded me of the police and how they carry myself in society. Things in Star Wars, of course, aren 't real and straight up fantasies. Like Chewbacca a big foot monkey-like creature talking and everyone in the movies can understand him but we can 't. Cars are foreign in this movie.

As we all know, Star Trek has recently achieved enormous success with both Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) achieving mainstream appeal and gained enormous box office success.

The concept of time has always been known to assist people in healing. After all, “Time heals all wounds”. That is not the case in the sci-fi film “Interstellar” by Christopher Nolan.

The film shows us a future where there is scares food supply, a collapsed economy and dust storms are the new norm.

O Brother Where Art Thou? is a film that will take you on a perilous journey with Ulysses Everett McGill and his simpleminded cohorts.

The Academy award winning film, “The Incredibles” displays the themes of expressing one’s true self and special qualities, and in contrast repression by society to fit a basic mold. These themes are elaborated on through the development of the main characters and expressed further through the supporting roles and their dialogue and endeavors.
