For anyone who hasn't seen the trailer #3. The music to me is perfect and it's an amazing set up for hopefully a really amazing movie.

Mark

I am looking forward to the new movie. If it lives up to the trailers we should be in for some thrilling entertainment.

Yes, I'll be there--a die hard.

yeah I am anxious too, sofar all I have seen is the teaser on a DVD last month with just a flash of the Star Trek Insignia, music and a date.

Hollywood better not screw this up!!

Agreed; I hope they don't screw it up. On one level, the special effects and such are far superior to what could be done when the original/earlier versions were made, so that isn't the issue. The real issues are how well the story is written, how appropriate the casting is, and how skilfully the whole thing is put together. Worst case, I'll try to mentally separate it from the "real" Star Trek and try to enjoy it as a separate movie/story on its own. From the trailers, I'm cautiously optimistic; it may be a good movie. I look forward to seeing it!

I will see Star Trek opening day(still have to see Watchmen...).

Also check out the latest Terminator Salvation trailer with NIN music - very cool.

I am very excited for the movie as well, will be there on opening day!

I'll wait until the reviews come out first.
I can buy a set of tires for what ticket prices are now days?

You guys are a bunch of Star Trek nerds!! Yeah, I'll be there... :D

I am very much looking forward to this movie. I will assume that with todays technology they should be able to make a really compelling movie. I am almost sad that Enterprise as a TV series didn't make it. But.....I still can't...wait...for this movie!

I find movie critics to be useless. Oh and forget about depending on any trekkie's opinion of this movie, if their discontent for Enterprise is any indication...

Just a couple of things.
trailer #1: They use a flint striker and what appears to be the
same sort of welding equipment we use today. One would think by the
23rd century they would have something a bit more advanced
to weld the enterprise together.

trailer #2:
The Corvette scene looks like something that would be better
suited for a Mad Max flick than a Star Trek movie.

Not if young Jimmy stole his dad's 60ish corvette, and went for a joyride...

That olde outdated technology is the reason the Enterprise lasted for so long, maybe if they made 1701-D that way it would have lasted longer.

There I go taking this seriously.:D .......again.:screwy:

The corvette scene, I think that had more to do with what they were saying about Kirk as a character. I think they are trying to make this movie somewhat "unlike" previous Star Trek pieces. Me, I am fine with that, so long as it is well done.

I would think most heavy industries would use the technology that works reliably & cheap and do so until something more reliable & more cheap comes along.

If it ain't broke don't fix it in other words.

I wasnt sure about the idea of making another movie, oh well will have to see it.

I am trying to get into enterprise since I have some of the box sets, but still havent watched it all *sigh*

If they want to continue on with Star Trek the writers
are eventually going to have to get their gear shifts out of reverse,
and start looking at a next generation crew.

I hope you are not suggesting that they bring back Jean fluke retard and friends... :thumbsdn:

there is plenty of story telling years between where Enterprise left off and where Kirk gets the keys to the Enterprise...

Can't wait to see it....

Absolutely not,
When I said the next generation I talking about an entire new
crew and ship.


Maybe, but the whole thing can get old quick. Don't really need them to fill in all of the gaps.

I'm definitey looking forward to this movie and I'll be there!

I'll be there opening day, watching in IMAX.

However, from what I have seen, it sure don't feel like the Kirk and Spock Star Trek I watched as a kid.

Curious to see this take on the concept. Looks somewhat promising, but technology and special effects don't make truly good movies.

I like the idea of juxtaposing old and new -- I think that's more realistic. We may have computers but we still use paper thousands of years after it was invented. Sort of along the same lines as craftsman tool chests and hand tools used in BSG instead of turbo laser ratchet wrenches :D

I have been a fan since seeing repeats of TOS as a kid. I still catch the remastered TOS once in awhile and love it. TNG put me off at first, but then grew on me and was a big fan. DS9 I got into at first, then got bored with all the political crap, then followed the last couple seasons and liked it. I also really liked Voyager for the first couple seaons and maybe the last. Or so. I really enjoyed Enterprise as well at first... until they pulled out the old "hey let's mess around with time travel again" with one of their season finales.

I never watched it again. I'm SO sick of time-based sci-fi showing up in Star Trek. Enough already. Cripes. I also suspect that there aren't any more sci fi stories left to tell without recycling old ST plots/stories. But may be I am wrong. Hopefully I am wrong. Maybe I am burned out on the old school sci fi thanks to Enterprise and the latest Star Wars films. :grumpy: OTOH I loved BSG but that is a whole different ballgame.

Maybe a fresh approach / vision for ST is what is needed. I deeply appreciate Gene R's original visions and I think the stories that came from the ST's so far have enriched us fans (and really culture at large). But maybe we're due for an updated look at the future.

I'll be at the 12:00 AM show.

You need to see all of Enterprise. Is is so much more than just a time travel episode. It was described as temporal cold war. This was exposed in the first season.

As for the new movie, I will be at the theatre to see it.

Seems to me that it will be missing one important thing:

CAPTAIN PIKE.

He was first to command the Enterprise.

Someone told me that they have sort of "re-written" Star Trek history.

If they have, it will SUCK big time.

I guess we will find out.

Get over it! Brannan and Braga have already rewritten Star Trek history, starting with the first season of TNG. At least with Enterprise, they tried and did a good job of tying together, the TOS with the TNG.

Yup. Gotta be at least 3 stars before I go.

First off...don't tell me what to "get over"....that's rude.

Secondly...using time travel and alternate time scenarios to justify backstory differences can either be a good thing, or extremely cheesy.

Like I said...we will see.

The Captain Pike episode was one of the best.

You say rude, I call it "blunt".

I told you to get over it, because rewriting Trek history is nothing new, and if you want to enjoy this movie, "getting over it" might help.

That was not what happened in Enterprise. The trek history was rewritten in TNG and there is nothing that can be done about it. However, they did a good job of tying together the rewritten early history and up to TNG.

The story was great, the direction left something to be desired. Number 1 had less emotion than Commander Spock... I mean Spock even smiled. :nono:

Cast and crew list for the movie "Captain Christopher Pike- Bruce Greenwood"

Hmmm..I wonder if anyone knows how they came up with 1701 for the ship number??

zombie1210, ducati_EL34, don't make me come taze you both!

Why don't you team up and supply a subtitle to this -

The only false start for me in the film is whom they chose for Scotty, Simon Pegg. I like Pegg but I don't see him in the role. All that said, I am pretty certain he will hit a home run and own the role from here on out. However, Paul McGillion would have been pitch perfect. Watched him enough on SG-Atlantis to feel he could have easily handled it. What's odd is that his name appears on the IMDB cast log for the new film and it turns out he was in the running for the role. I wonder what happened there? IMO, all of the characters do look plausible as young versions of the TOS cast w. the exception of Scotty. You can draw your own conclusions on Doohan, Pegg, & McGillion's resemblance -

Is anyone the least bit weirded out by Scotty being played by Simon Pegg?

Mind you, I think that Hot Fuzz was the funniest movie of that year and Shaun of the Dead the sillyist...

Tell me that is not you!


I will pass... :D

He's an odd pick IMO too but he must have shown something key to get the role.
