I will not see it. I've had enough of beloved classics of my childhood being destroyed by Hollywood with pointless and meaningless remakes. If something is good enough to remake, then it's good enough TO LEAVE THE @#$% ALONE. THEY REDESIGNED THE FRICKIN' ENTERPRISE!!!!

I must admit Captain, this motion picture is logical :O
Damnit Saxman! I'm a doctor not a magician :O
-
Save t3h Whales!!!!!!!

"Bones!
Spock!
Scotty!
I am!
.....dismayed!
He's not Captain Kirk! I'm the Captain! I'm Captain Kirk!"
Yeah..see...you just can't replace William Shatner...It ain't gonna work.

Aside from the fact that this is a prequel/reboot/what ever they like to call it, I'm down with this movie..
I'm excited about it.. I've been a fan of Treklore(Trekkie, Trekker) for a long, long time and I don't state this mildly..(geek dork nerd)
Star Trek forums have been at war for almost two years with regards to this movie.. Some of the arguments that come up are
insane.. Most of them have to do with whether or not something is or will be "canon".. For instance, the Enterprise being built on Earth when
according to Star Trek canon, NCC-1701 was built at San Fransisco yards in orbit above Earth (duh).. Also, there is the argument that Kirk wasn't
even born when the Enterprise was built and that Capt. Robert April was her first Captain and not Christopher Pike(he was the 2nd) as this movie will portray..
What ever it does to Star Trek as a franchise, I'll still enjoy this movie on it's own.. :)

Its the third redesign of the Kirk Enterprise - and the fourth different Enterprise in the movie franchise...you'll get used to it

It looks like a good movie and any judgment of it should wait until you see it I think. It looks amazing in the preview.

sorry can't resist :D

I gave up on all things Trek after Nemesis.
They finally get around to using the Romulans in a movie, and its by far the worst thing they ever turn out. I was so excited... and I've never watched anything Trek since.

Except that those were upgrades written into the storylines. This is Abrams redesign of what HE thinks the show should be instead of going by what the previous movies and books have said. I don't like how hollywood always changes storylines OR historical facts [talking about alot of historical movies that were hollywoodized for entertainment] just to produce a movie that THEY think everyone wants to see. There will be alot of people that will not like the movie because of that.
This new Enterprise looks like it was an old stand in for that Flash Gordan movie made back in the 80s.
-
The trailer has been out since Thanksgiving and still most people don't know they are making this movie. Goes to show how little people (including myself) care for another one of these.
-
They should just change the hull registry to NCC-90210. Because that's exactly what this is going to be.
I've come to the conclusion that Paramount doesn't give a DAMN about the people who've loved Star Trek from the beginning. They should have laid the franchise to rest with First Contact.
-

Of course they don't.I dislike the redesign of the Enterprise as much as you do,but let's face it;they're trying to sell it to an entire new audience,not people that loved Star Trek from the beginning.
-
And that's a BAD thing. They have a built-in audience spanning 40 years and they're going to completely disregard that history to pack in a generation fed of American Idol and High School Musical? It's a slap in the face, and if Enterprise, Voyager and Nemesis didn't already have Gene rolling in his grave he sure as hell is NOW.

I can see fans complaining about Nemesis and Enterprise, but what was so bad about Voyager?
-
Voyager was the intergalactic Love Boat.
-
It's only one reason, but to quote a friend: "Voyager turned Picard's White Whale into Flipper." Totally absurd that ONE Borg cube annihilated virtually all of Star Fleet at Wolf 359, and brushed off USS Defiant (which was DESIGNED from the keel up to fight the Borg!) without a second thought, yet Voyager takes on the ENTIRE Borg race and wins?
-
Well, Eowyn did kill the invincible Witch King of Angmar, right? Perhaps it only took a woman to do it :D
-
Janeway wasn't even all that good of a captain. Picard would beat her handily in combat, and Kirk...
Kirk would have just nailed her and moved on after she died tragically partway through the episode.
-
Kirk as he was portrayed by Shatner just doesnt fit into todays world and he would have to in order to win over a new generation. Probably the special effects wont make much sense either but I will wait watch and then judge it.
-
Today's generation can bite me. Leave the classic crew the hell alone.
-
:rofl Word.
-
It doesnt appear hollywood will be listening.
-
Like everything star trek, ill wait till it hits tv, and ignore it for another 2-3 years.
:rock
:Edit: Altho the villan in nemesis made my LMFAO hard, every time i saw his face i thought "Dr. Evil, meet's star trek"

For the hell of it I tossed Star Trek II into the DVD player today.
If Paramount wants to "fix" Star Trek, they should take a cue from Wrath of Khan. Out of all the films in the series and both crews, this is THE best Star Trek movie and one of the best movies ever made PERIOD. And it's not the special effects, or the action, or the technobabble. It's the CHARACTERS.

WORD!!
I love Wrath of Kahn, The wife bought me the collectors DVD for my B-day last year. I still have it on the original VHS tape in the box plus 2 other DVD's from when it came out. (1 on watch the other is still in the wrapper as is the collectors DVD)
-
Totally.... TWOK was by far the best Trek movie ever.. KAAAAAHHHHN!
On a side note, Ricardo Montalban just recently passed.... :salute
-
How old is Skywalker in this one?
-
J.J. Abrams needs to be shot. If you loved Cloverfield, I'm sure you'll love the new Star Trek. :rolleyes: Looks like Star Trek is turning into Pearl Harbor from the looks of the trailer, great...
-
Kind of makes ya wonder what would Abrams do if he did a Star Wars remake. What would the X-wing fighters look like?

yea man I hear you. But it's better than what is out there. I mean seriously have you seen? Nothing but washed drama, cheesy black comedies, teenage promiscuity, anti american, or wanna be action films.
No imagination. I thought the Dark Knight was crap really. Meanwhile people touted it as the best thing since sliced bread.??/;lakjw;ljr390ra9ur
Very frustrating. I feel like I'm watching paint dry when I rent movies now. I used to look forward to the summer releases. Sigh.
Where has the imagination gone? Too much effort to produce profit instead of product. With a good product comes profit. Wash it down and box it pretty is all people do now adays.
My made in china lambswool car washing glove fell apart on me today. Probably 20 total washes. Ridiculous. Again, another nice looking item on the outside with a pretty package. Price wasn't cheap either. More crap.
(again...steps off soapbox.)

West End Games--and now Wizards of the Coast--already beat Abrams to the punch of running Star Wars into the ground. Actually, they beat LUCAS to the punch. :rolleyes: The rest of the EU authors haven't helped matters, either. As far as I'm concerned, the only REAL Star Wars is the ORIGINAL Original Trilogy, Timothy Zahn, Michael Stackpole, and I'll also accept Aaron Alliston, but ONLY up to Vision of the Future and the Union graphic novel. New Jedi Order NEVER HAPPENED. And Mara Jade is ALIVE, Golly-geemit! I'll accept Dark Empire, too, because the E-wing rocks.
Then again, at least WEG (for the most part) got the speeds of the different starfighters right. More than I can say for any of the OTHER games....

From the looks of the trailer this movie aims to get a new generation of trekkies into play. The cast is extremely young, the screenplay is aimed for ADD and the sex scenes were done with a bathing suite on.
I'd say it's aimed for 12-year olds.
-
from what I saw of one of the trailers there was a part when someone on the bridge says " we have no Capt, no first officer, who's gonna command?"
Kirk plops down in the command chair and says "
i will" or something to that effect :confused:
I dont recall in any book or movie regarding Kirks promotion of it happening that way, thought he was the youngest person to be promoted to Capt but never heard of him assuming command in the heat of battle like that. Maybe I missed something.
Abrams and hollydorks just completly rewrote alot of the trek history, dunno why, but, like alot of other people it really frosts my shades :furious

I don't think that was kirk, but rather his father when he took command for 12 minutes when kirk was still a baby.
I can't believe how cheesy the 60's style uniforms look in this trailer.

... Michael Stackpole....
In BattleTech, we have a copyrighted term for when an otherwise competent ruler suddenly goes comic book evil or wall banging stupid, or when an entire army gets annihilated by one single warrior pulling off ridiculously impossible moves or outsmarting them with insanely simple plans- they've been "Stackpoled".
It also applies to rulers/nations/generals coming up with convoluted super-villain plans that Lex Luthor would be ashamed to own up to.
-
All I can say is ..........
HERBERT, HERBERT, HERBERT !!!
Any of you old trekkies remember that line from the original series?
-
It doesn't ring a bell. Are you sure it isn't "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha" ?
Oh wait. Is that the nagging robot copy of Harry Mudd's wife?
