Young Kirk n Spock + Lost = new Star Trek movie

You don't cuddle with JJ Abrams, you strap in and feel the Gs.

Vicky Vale: "What do you want?!"
The Joker: "A little song, a little dance... Abrams head on a lance..."

jj abrams starts everything well (except for the de rigueur dinner party scenes that set up the characters that seem to appear in all his shows and films) and then everything just gets stupid pretty quick.

I'm just waiting for the Cloverfield monster to appear in this.

They could throw in some songs, then it would be like Mamma Mia in space. With awesome explosions.

I kind of hope this Star Trek movie ends up being an elaborate tie-in explaining the Lost smokemonster as just another Star Trek sentient cloud being.

The other thing that's bothering me...

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.

...reminds me of the first level of the video game "MDK", where your character parachutes onto a mining machine that's heading towards a city. Which brings me to this: assuming there's going to be a video game tie in, do you think they write the movie first or the game? Because a lot of it sounds like a scriptwriter said "hey, that would be cool in a video game!"

hahahahahhahaa

ha!

yeah I thought that was the Kirk's evil side transporter accident episode...

I guess by the 22nd century they've developed the hell out of the Presidio.

"Welcome to the Lucas Tower. We're not sure who it's named after."

Trailer 3 from http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/startrek/ looks great. Watchmen audience went nuts for it.

lol Kirk "man"

EXPLOSIONS, very Roddenberry oldskool

"FIRE EVERYTHING!" including the set designer who made the bridge look like a bathroom suite...

I mean, when Sulu pushed that throttle control forwards, I half expected to hear a toilet flush...

Sulu & Kumar Hit Warp Speed

I liked the bridge, It seemed very appropriate for future 60s and for the first time the computer screens appear to actually be doing something.

Wish we had that trailer instead of the new Terminator at our screening.

Somebody overdubbing Bale's rant over the T:S trailer in 5... 4... 3...
Honestly it looks like a grim movie, at least ST looks like it'll be funny.

I about a billion times more down for the new Terminator than I am down for the new Star Trek.

I suspect that it's going to be "I Am Legend" with cyborgs instead of zombies.

Exactly!

"I Am Legend" with cyborgs > Star Trek 90210

im stoked for both

I really want to be stoked for the Star Trek movie but it just isn't working for me. I don't really want to watch sullen young Kirk be cajoled into suave Federation-stanning via circumstances beyond his control.

new trailer was pretty dope

the guy who plays young kirk is my main worry about that one - could be a dud

Well the emo aspect of JTK acting like Kevin the Teenager doesn't really appeal, but I hope they're going to get through that bit quickly. I choose ST's (unintentional) lolfest over watching Bale grit his teeth for two hours.

I'm not sure that young woman can fill Uhura's miniskirt

i'd fill uhura's miniskirt ... uh... that sounds kinda gross but somebody had to say it

the guy who plays young kirk is my main worry about that one - could be a dud

from the trailer's that's my problem too, he just doesn't look like he has the gravity to be Kirk (no "Shatner the size of a planet" joke intended). Sisto as Spock I can almost buy as someone taking over that character for a few films, but this Kirk looks too pretty and lightweight to become iconic.

Frankly it's just too bad they couldn't or wouldn't put together a good new script for Patrick Stewart.

I guess if I'm watching a grand science fiction epic set in a world filled with technological wonders beyond anything currently available to us, I would rather watch the one with dude pissed off because said technology is trying to kill us rather than the one with dude pissed off because his dad died on a diplomatic mission.

they should put that on the terminator poster

My main concern about this is I'm wondering if they are negating all the previous episodes/movies with yet another time travel mind-f*ck.

pretty sure that's the plan

I actually wouldn't mind if they did that, there's something to be said for a full-on reboot.

imo i don't really care how this relates to the other canon stuff

or what ned said

Surferdude Kirk, I negate thee.

i think this and terminator salvation are both gonna be pretty rad

yeah me neither. continuity is stupid.
