I'm noticing a distinct reduction in the amount of lensflare (at least which they let us see). Maybe he learned his lesson.  |

Yeah, well that's why these are "teasers" and not "trailers".

I've had less teasers in my life from the Blonde wee lassie in accounts.
They bug me. Call me when there's an actual trailer.
(God, Nerds. They complain when they give away the plot and complain at the teasers. lol. )

Awesome second trailer. Same tone but covers a bit more, and finally includes some space stuff. Enterprise looks like it gets beat up something fierce, my guess after dropping into and coming out of the San Francisco bay.
Because me guessing on 1.5s of footage is important or something.
Whatever, looked awesome, I can nerdgasm if I wanna!

You know as well as I that Star Trek technology only works when it's convenient for the plot.  Remember in Generations when they beam Picard down to the planet and then instantly forget about him and go about their business because "interference from the planet's ionosphere" suddenly makes it so they can't use their scanners? Or in First Contact where the Vulcans can't see the Enterprise because of the moon's gravitational field? (Disclaimer: I only remember these because Plinkett pointed them out. In the movies they're handwaved away so quickly most people don't notice. It's the same thing in this one, there's a quick line about how the obvious thing won't work because of some bullshit reason and now EXCITEMENT.) |

Mike/Plinkett teased that Trek V was his next review, which should be good.

I hope he doesn't actually critique the film. That would be like winning a boxing match against a parapalegic. |

I really hope he does actually. It'll be as long as the film but way more worth watching.

A critique of V would be good because there's a kernel of a decent movie in there somewhere with some great character moments and some nicely done camera shots...all wrapped up in a terrible mess of a film.
As opposed to, say, Nemesis which was just flat out awful in every respect.

SyFy is doing a marathon of ST movies this weekend. Starts at 10:30est. ST1, ST3, ST4, Generations, First Contact, Khan (Midnight, EST), ST5
Tomorrow is Khan at 11am EST, ST5, Generations, then First Contact.
It's a perfect summary of why I don't watch "SyFy" anymore. Just a microcosm of how out of touch they are. They never show Undiscovered Country and have a love of that terrible #5 movie and Generations. (Which I saw on the guide a few times earlier this month as well)

Maybe they don't have broadcast to 6 for some reason. I gave up on SyFy when they stopped showing sci-fi (well before the stupid new name). Shortly after I cut the cord altogether. Only time I've missed it is around the holidays when I could tune into Hallmark channel at any time and see a Christmas show of some sort. Yea sure I can queue all that up on Netflix or Hulu+, but it doesn't feel the same. Or at least, that's what the wife says. She's always been the TV one. I generally am doing more important things on the computer tl;dr: stop reading after "name)." |

When my local UPN/WB/CW affiliate can show 6 and SyFy "can't" there's issues.
I've got cable because the wife works for the company so it's free. I had base level before because DSL doesn't work in N.Ky so it's cable or no internet. "Hey, pay us $50 a month for 120mbps!" No thanks!

The world of broadcast licensing is really complex. On purpose. Otherwise you'd be putting all those hardworking license account managers out on the street. Think of the children! Anywho, it's not unheard of to have licenses carved up that way. I'm not saying that's absolutely the case here of course, since I don't know and not sure I could find out. But I've heard of stranger situations. Also, I'd pay $50/mo for 120mbps in a second. I'm paying the same for about 1/10th of that in RI because Cox has a complete lock on parts of the state and Verizon laughs at me every year when I ask when FIOS is coming to my area. I'm jealous you get cable for free though. You need to move here, spread the love  |

Saw the ten minute thing in front of the hobbit this week and it made me more excited for this than for any previous star trek thing, which is to say this is the first time I've ever been interested in a star trek thing in advance.
Gives the impression of taking star trek exactly as seriously as it needs to be and no slowing down for faulty moralising.
The thing that also struck me was that the 3d didn't feel as bad as it normally does. I think the whole MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS AND SATURATION IN ALL SCENES philosophy helped enormously in countering the 'Glasses of Reduced Light & Colour' you are forced to wear for 3d shit.

Trailer 2 is upLooks like all completely different footage, and therefore tells different aspects of the story.

I don't know who that blonde woman is but I won't cry if they show a lot more of her.
Still looks really fun overall though!

Aye, I'm going to go against the current grain :
I don't see the point of this. Nothing says Trek to me and I LIKED the reboot. It all seems pretty meh.
I will say that Alice has a cracking body.

The trailer is showing explosions and wow stuff but it's keeping the plot close to the vest. I'm guessing its gonna be a lot more trekky than it looks right now. |

It's like Mission Impossible.
Nah.

How many of the Star Trek movies released this century would you say have been "trekky"? |

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail
