I didn't see anything wrong with this thread. It's a movie coming out, it's called Star Trek and your post was basically about the movie.

I highly support this product and/or service. With: http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1580156&pid=32985348 photos. Not going to directly link each one. Loads fast enough to hussle your left mouse finger over there in a jif. First shot is sort of a let down but the rest are cool. Also, wasn't sure about Simon Pegg at first as Scotty, but then I saw (and watched a few dozen other times) "Hot Fuzz". Love that movie and him in it. |

If they were willing to make a good looking bridge I don't see why they couldn't have replaced the awful old uniforms too.

They have. They've replaced them with near-identical copies but made in groovy modern fabrics. Random musing from times past... why do you never see or hear any mention of toilets in Star Trek? Do they have personal poo transporters or something? |

You never guessed where they get the raw material for the food replicators?
In Space, everything is recycled.

Yeah, they're not going to ditch any organic matter into space if they can help it. Although it's not like there's a big tank of poo on the ship feeding the repliators; it's broken down into a "neutral" material for storage (sort of like the "base blocks" that fed the makers in Transmet), along with any other garbage produced on the ship.

It sure looks like it. Everybody's got a goofy expression on their faces, and everything's so damn bright. Kinda like Mel Brooks directed it or something. |

I think it's supposed to be a serious movie and I seriously hope I'm wrong in that I seriously think it's going to suck. Seriously.  The brightness I think has something to do with the fact that it's supposed to be "optimistic". ''In a world where a movie as incredibly produced as The Dark Knight is raking in gazillions of dollars, Star Trek stands in stark contrast,'' Abrams says. ''It was important to me that optimism be cool again.'' http://io9.com/5064748/star-trek-will-spread-abrams-message-of-optimism |

I can get behind the optimism thing. It's one of the main things that makes me a geek for that show. I don't think optimism is that unpopular though.. Unlike the Dark Knight, just about all superhero movies are optimistic.

I don't like the bridge, hate might not be too strong of a word. Kirk looks to young. Yes, I know, they're supposed to be young, but that actor almost looks like a teenager to me, and him in the Captain's chair just doesn't have the right feel.
Spock looks great.
I'm not a huge Trek fan but I'm a bit worried that J.J. Abrams is not a Trek fan and is doing this movie. I'd rather they got someone like the dude who did Wrath of Khan to do it with maybe Abrams producing.

Uh, well.. He's enough of a Trek fan to lay hold on the optimism thing. Better than I can say for some writers.
I'm sure he is a Trek fan though. He's a writer for a sci-fi themed television series as it is....with an ensemble formula that is very much like how Trek episodes are written. I highly doubt that Star Trek escaped his interest all of these years.

This movie cannot possibly be worse than 5, 7, 9 (and some would say 10). The expectations are as low as they were for Palin right before her debate with Biden  I am not a fan of the bridge either, but I'm wondering how long it takes us to get to that point in the set. Is most of this setup to a new ship at the end (ala ST 4)? |

When I saw the trailer with QoS, I felt really "meh" about it.
But...I cannot stop rewatching it. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is going to be really, really, really good. I hope so, I do like most of the casting they've done so far.

The car chase looks like it belongs is some Michael Bay 'splode-em-up, and the ship interior is straight out of the Lost in Space remake. Horrible.

Spock looks like he might work well and I'd need to see more but I'm a bit more confident that Pegg can pull of Scotty. Still undecided on Kirk, he does look a bit too young but he also didn't seem hilariously awful. I didn't mind the look of the ship though I think they might have been better off making the ship not look sleeker and more modern than TNG inside. That said I don't think any studio would have let them get away with making a non-ultra modern looking spaceship. Frankly I'm more concerned with the characters and the gadgets.

Star Trek: The Action Movie. I'm underwhelmed, but only because I always enjoyed ST for its morality plays, not the 'action.' It's not a thinking man's world, though. Still, I think it'd be a better movie without the link to the franchise. Oh, but then they wouldn't have all the built-in audience and viral marketing. |

Yeah...
I will wait until I can rent it on my Apple TV, which should be about two months after it comes out in theatres.

I'm hoping that and Spock's early life take up the first 15 minutes of the film leading swiftly onto Enterprise related awesomeness. I am secretly prepared to be heartbroken.
