Thread for Tomtrek to post star trek trailer in

I like Zachary Quinto as Spock. He really projects Nimoy's Spock very well from the little we've seen. I wish I could say the same about the rest of the characters though.

This movie will make or break on how good Kirk is. Especially since he's young the actor is going to have to sell Kirk's pretty much godly status as a legendary Starship captain or at least the seeds of that potential for the movie to work. So far I just don't get a sense of 'That's Kirk!' like I do with Quinto's Spock.

The space battles look predictibly awesome and I'm sure that the movie won't dissapoint when it comes to spectacle. I've been pretty much of the mind that this movie will be at the very least a great action spectacle but less certain that it's going to actually get the gestalt of Trek right.

I am not totally against canon being broken but I don't like canon being broken just for the sake of it. Isn't it preferable to have it link as seamlessly as possible with the rest of the mythos?

I guess I don't want two Star Trek's. The idea of throwing out certain established canon just because Kirk can ride up on his bike to see the Enterpise being built is something I don't like. OK, that is a rather minor example {SEE I'M NOT GOING TO BE A KILLJOY JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT} but you get the idea.



I hope the movie kills it and is the greatest thing ever. We've all been burned too many times before though so I will continue to reserve judgement. Getting the magnetism between the chracters, especially Kirk, Spock and McCoy is the most vital element so the acting and script are going to have to be great and it's going to have to all click on screen which is harder to get right.

We live in hope.
 
Y'see now, I really like the visual style (except maybe the iBridge), but that all goes to pot if what they're making is "J.J. Abram's Star Trek (but I never really liked Star Trek so I changed it all!!)".

If we got that exact trailer and somone like, say, Nick Meyer was writing and/or directing then I would be pumped as hell.

I mean what Meyer did for Star Trek II is exactly what Abrams should really be doing here - he never really watched TOS, but he watched every episode, and found a way to make it into what he thought it should be, but not by changing what Star Trek is, and in fact made one of the best Star Trek films because it builds on continuity, not change it.
 
I'm gonna wait till Monday so the first time I see it is at at an appropriate angle with good sound and everything. It's not easy though.

Completely agree with you. Meyer's updating was great. It worked on every level. For a start the actors were older so you completely bought in to the idea that things had naturally evolved in Starfleet. The naval inspiration he brought to the movies was fantastic.
 
But he didn't think of robot cops.
 
Maybe its a cunning double bluff and that's just a face mask because of the desert dust.
 
Could be.

I HOPE RICKY GERVAIS DOESN'T HAVE AN UNADVERTISED CAMEO.
 
Pretty much the only part of this film I am really looking forward to is Michael Giacchino's score, becuase I think it will be awesome.
 
We'll see.

It's ballsy to simply call the movie "Star Trek" though. Sort of a declaration that they are indeed wiping the slate clean, so deal with it bitches.

They are definitely marketing this to a new audience. They don't want the old one.
 
Well the old audience carried the show for over 45 years.

I doubt they're gonna find that type of audience again.
 
But the old audience will see it regardless, every damn one of them, and they know it themselves.

Don't you like MINDLESS ACTION?
 
I didn't like Transformers - so no, I don't like mindless action. It's a good thing that the people behind Transformers don't have anything to do with this-



Fuck.
 
WACKY THIS IS FOR YOU

That is rather cool looking. Of course, robots don't make much sense in this time period, but then Mudd had a lot of androids that were more advanced than Data in some ways.
 
Still looks like a gas mask to me
 
Yeah, looks SLIGHTLY like the mask Leia wore at the start of Jedi.
 
They're meant to be putting up the HD trailer this morning, but if that's this morning LA time then it won't be up till Thursday (GMT). Stupid timezones.
 
4 hours 14 minutes!
 
2 hours 35 minutes.
 
37 mintues, !
