Have you seen the new Star Trek trailer yet? Now in Quicktime. I want to be excited for this but so many things make me worry. 1. J.J. Abrams. What has he actually done that was good for more than a 2 minute trailer? 2. It looks like "Star Trek 90210" 3. James Kirk is from Iowa, the highest elevation is 480 feet. You'll see what I mean in the trailer and the oh so ever acrobatic dive Young Kirk makes. 4. Footage not in the trailer has the Enterprise being built in a shipyard, on Earth, in Iowa no less. The last 2 bug me because Abrams seems to be screwing with logic and canon just for the sake of cheesy dramatic effect, not to further any story. Now for the good: .5 seconds of Simon Pegg. Totally unnecessary and gratuitous tits. Now in Quicktime here: http://www.apple.com/trai.../startrek/ [Edited 11/17/08 11:21am] Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |

Awww...
I was all, XI before but now that I've read what you wrote I'm all like you're probable right especially the whole Star Trek 90210 part. I'd would just if that turns out to be true. And the ship oh say it isn't so, I though they were only doing it that way just for the trailer, like a visual trick or something. Now I'm all XI | |

I saw the trailer before Quantum of Solace Saturday afternoon. At first I did not know what was going on until the "teen" uttered he was "James Tiberius Kirk."
Yeah, should be interesting. It's JJ Abram's vision/homage to Gene Roddenberry's tale. Regardless, it should be a fun ride with a new crew. | |

Totally unnecessary and gratuitous tits. That's the vibe I'm getting too. If these clowns ruin my beloved Star Trek I will not be amused.

Eh.....
That was really not a good trailer. Right now I'm hoping against hope that it's just misleadingly bad. I'll be so bummed if they buggered up Star Trek to make some weird space teen drama, 'cause that's what it looks like. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

It's online in Quicktime now. See the dreaminess clearly!
http://www.apple.com/trai.../startrek/ The action sequences look great seeing them clearly, but it still looks like a soap opera reunion. I also fail to see the genius in casting the dude that looks like Spock on a TV show as Spock so everyone will simply see that character in a blue shirt. Seeing the trailer clearly now, the Enterprise in Iowa is in the trailer. [Edited 11/17/08 11:20am] Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large.

Decoding the 'Star Trek' Trailer by Matt McDaniel November 17, 2008 If you were one of the millions of moviegoers who saw "Quantum of Solace" in theaters this weekend, you may have also seen the trailer for director J.J. Abrams' new film version of "Star Trek." It's the first look we've had at Chris Pine in the role of the young Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Mr. Spock. But the preview is edited so quickly even if you saw it on the big screen you might not have deciphered all the information packed into the 2-minute trailer. So we've broken it down to uncover the biggest revelations it contains, plus we have the video so you can watch it yourself. Kirk was always a troublemaker. James T. Kirk has always had a reputation for bending the rules and living on the edge. Apparently, he started early. The trailer begins with an 11-year-old Kirk fleeing from a robotic police officer in a classic Corvette and leaping away right before the car sails off a cliff. It also appears that in this version the Enterprise was built in rural Iowa where Kirk was raised, and not constructed in space as stated by the late series creator Gene Roddenberry. Spock's home world is falling apart. After getting a glimpse of Spock as a pointy-eared child, we see him as an adult beaming onto the planet Vulcan as rocks are crumbling around him. Later, there is a shot of him helping his human mother Amanda (played by Winona Ryder) down a hill as the ground quakes. In subsequent scenes, it looks like a giant laser is blasting into the surface of Vulcan from a spaceship above. It's a long way down. We see three figures in helmets and jumpsuits plummeting past a spire down towards the surface of a planet. They deploy parachutes as they fly past the camera. Reports from a preview screening say the away team is made up of Kirk, Sulu and Chief Engineer Olsen, a crewman in a "red shirt." Ironically, the original Kirk, William Shatner, was originally going to skydive from space in the beginning of "Star Trek: Generations," but that scene was cut. Scotty is having fun, but Bones isn't. We get brief glimpses of the rest of the ship's crew. Chekov (Anton Yelchin) is seen at the helm on the updated bridge. A dripping wet Scotty (Simon Pegg) happily announced "I like this ship; it's exciting!" Dr. McCoy (Karl Urban), on the other hand, tells Kirk that, "Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence." We also see the original captain of the Enterprise, Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) still in command. Sulu (John Cho) shows off his fencing skills, and Uhura (Zoe Saldana) just shows off. Kirk and Spock aren't friends yet. In "Star Trek II," Spock tells Kirk, "I have been and always shall be your friend." But it doesn't look like they're quite that chummy yet in this film. They face off in the bridge, and when Kirk pushes Spock too far he responds with a seemingly illogical beatdown. Plus, there is a brief shot of Spock choking Kirk against a consol. Still, there is a moment where Kirk pats Spock on the shoulder and tells him to "Buckle up," so they may well be pals by the end of the movie. It boldly goes where no 'Trek' has gone before. If there's one message this trailer is trying to convey, it's that this is the biggest and most dynamic "Star Trek" film yet. We see phasers blasting, fists flying, monsters roaring, and spaceships exploding. The trailer ends with the Romulan villain Nero (Eric Bana) announcing, "The wait is over." Unfortunately, that's not true yet. "Star Trek" doesn't beam down into theaters until May 9th. http://movies.yahoo.com/f...-blog.html | |

And judging by the latest Neilsen ratings, no one watches Heroes any more anyway. I have no problems with that casting. But I'm not a Trekkie so I don't care either way about this movie. | |
