Considering the United Arab Emirates has served as the setting for top cult film franchises such as the most recent installments of " Fast and Furious " and " Star Wars " as well as the forthcoming " Star Trek " film, where better for the region's nerd community to converge to immerse themselves in all the coolest sci-fi and comic book culture?
