Proportions look kinda strange (I suspect the picture foreshortens things) but I heart the o.g. Enterprise look

This is going to suck. I can handle re-imaginings of Batman, but not Trek.

I mean, FFS they've made the Enterprise look like a Schwinn bicycle.

I just re-watched Wrath of Khan the other day and they make a big deal about how Kirk is a collector of antiques. In a scene in his apartment I spotted that he and I have the exact same chrome & glass diamond-shaped book shelf.
I'm kinda assuming he has mine in the future, so I have to take really good care of it now.

If you have a Commodore PET, maybe you could spray it silver and sell that to him as well...

Yes, a whole room full of computers that just run vector animation patterns would be pretty cool too.
― Nate Carson, Saturday, 15 November 2008 17:43 (fifteen years ago) link
I love that caption at the beginning of Kahn: "IN THE 23RD CENTURY", then the next thing we see is a spinning wireframe model of the Enterprise on Spock's screen.

Seeing the trailer tonight before Quantum of Solace, I gotta say, visually at least the trailer looked pretty impressive on the big screen. Not sure if I'm really into the idea of a "sexy, slick" Trek though. I want dorky cardboard sets.

From that blog post:
4. In a lengthy action sequence, Kirk, Sulu (John Cho) and a third, red-shirted Starfleet recruit (don’t get too attached to him) parachute from the upper atmosphere of the planet Vulcan onto a giant drill that is burrowing a hole to the center of the planet.
WELSHY!!!

My wife got PISSED that they are calling the movie "Star Trek" with no subtitle. I told her to think of it as "Star Trek 90210" and she guffawed through most of the rest of the trailer.

breakdown of the trailer
http://io9.com/5091679/trailer-reveals-whos-hooking-up-with-kirk-and-why-scottys-all-wet
And, now Kirk gets his mandatory sexing. And who’s the lucky lady?
YoJimbo at TrekMovie has it:
ORION SLAVE GIRL….
If you go through the 1080p trailer frame-by-frame you see that the girl Kirk is in bed with has GREEN SKIN! Ahahahaha.
He’s right. If you pause on the HD trailer, you can see she’s sporting skimpy underwear and green skin.

My friend Tom P. on the blog post I linked a few posts back:
OK, so I have read the first paragraph and already Kirk had run into Uhura and Christopher Pike in a bar in Iowa? Damn it, apparently he decided to use the George Lucas view of the universe, I don't doubt that sooner or later C-3PO will make an appearance, perhaps Scotty will fix him or something. Good god, my guess is that Zefrem Cochrane works hi way into this movie somewhere, maybe he is really Kirk's uncle or some such nonsense. Perhaps he invented the Pan Galactic Gargleblaster at another bar in Iowa....So Scotty invented the transporter? Oh no. Jango Fett anyone? I looking for Jango Fett.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 17:51 (fifteen years ago) link
he would prefer to populate the story with a bunch of new, random characters? wtf
― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 17:57 (fifteen years ago) link
This doesn't look all that good--although I was happy to hear the sounds of OS Trek. The upside is that the flick looks crammed with wall-to-wall craziness, and in such an environment there's a better chance of a Gorn appearance.

Don't be a fake nerd. Intelligence rolls require 3 die 6 so you get a bell curve on your results... sheesh.
