I didnt expect it to be quite like that. The acting isnt really that good from what i can see, but its definetly more gritty. Like what they have done to James Bond, which im a massive fan of.
Look forward to this one most definetly ^_^

In terms of concept: Star Trek is basically dead, and going back and doing the original series with new actors is pretty much the worst thing they could do. However, going back and rebooting the series with a new style like Bond, Batman etc., could be quite interesting, as it would actually be something new based on the old franchise, rather than a continuation.
In terms of implementation: It looks awful. Bad acting, cheesy lines, stupendous amounts of action. However, it should be an interesting study in what would happen if you took Roddenberry's concept and executed it in the modern entertainment industry. Just to show how far it's fallen.
Ofc, Batman and Bond took silly over the top series of movies, and by rebooting turned them into something more serious. Thus is makes sense that taking a serious seies and rebooting it will result in a Star Trek version of Batman and Robin.

I thought it looked good. Seems to be very mixed feelings in this thread though. I've been a fan of star trek for a while...not really a huge fan or a particularly devoted one, but I do enjoy the movies and the TV show when they're on. Or, at least I watch TNG and DS9. The rest...meh. I've seen em and once is enough.
This looks interesting to me for three reasons:
- I'm not a die-hard trekkie so a new take on it doesn't bother me in the slightest
- I'm interested to see where JJ Abrams goes with this, there's nothing wrong with trying something at a new angle
- We're lacking some serious sci-fi movies for the most part, so I'm happy for just about anything that comes out with spaceships and 'splosions.

...did they just take Star Trek and removed the Sci-fi part?
Seriously, every good Star Trek film/series had (at its core) a large dose of Sci-fi, where the movie explores current and future technological/social issues in a different context (in order to more easily illuminate the central problems without our pre-conceived perceptions of the problem being in the way).
It looks like this movie replaced that part with more explosions.

This. Decent scifi movies are rare these days. I'll add the fact that star trek movies in general are horrible(Wrath of Khan not included). They are simply bad movies. They always seem to be full of unnecessary crap, that I suspect was only in the movie because they wanted to do some fan service and give screentime to every character in the TV show. Since the new movie doesn't have this limiting factor it might actually be worth watching.

Now take the rules and regulations of television from nearly 40 years ago, compare it to today's rules and regulations, and this ST is relatively tame in comparison

Insurrection was so good you don't even remember it.
And Nemesis was such a bumnugget I'd totally forgotten they killed Data off in a last ditch attempt to squeeze some gravitas out of the script.

[a] Insurrection wasn't half bad. Nemesis was ok too. They're both way better than that one where Spock's brother took them to visit God, and the first Trek movie was rather crap too.
[b] They should have let trek rest alot longer than they did. Its like they just crapped out Voyager and Enterprise and then said 'this isn't working, reboot'. The problem is partially in the writing, but mostly in the vision, or lack thereof.
They had no idea where to go with Voyager.
"hey... lets send it really far away so its exploring new
stuff".
"ok. we're exploring new stuff. now what?"
"um. how about some sort of holodeck malfunction"
"the borg"
"time travel"
"how about an episode with klingons?"
So they said this blows... lets try exploring new stuff at the very beginning.
"ok. so. here we are at the beginning, now what?"
"time travel"
"klingons"
"how about an episode with the borg, but like... some sort of accident"
They aren't actually writing anything new, so much as trying to milk new stories out of old material. The entire franchise is totally devoid of creativity.
I can fairly well guarentee that the movie is going to have [1] time travel [2] klingons [3] the borg.
Possibly, time traveling borg klingons?
I for one am NOT going to give them my money.
Sends producers the wrong message "mindless sequels and prequels and reboots of old familar stuff > creative new stuff".
Even as far as sequels go. There are so many other universes that haven't been bled dry. So many old dead sci-fi shows which could be rebooted.
FireFly.
Pitch Black.
Earth2.
Space Above and Beyond.
Let Trek rest its nipples for a day before you get back to milking. |

Nemesis was a good action film. Though it also had a bit more philosophical mumbo jumbo than one expects from contemporary action. So it had good action and good content. So what was bad about it? Oh yeah, the story. Most nonsensical story ever? Probably. But hey, I can live with it for the extra action scenes which were inserted where the story should have been.

Did someone really use "Nemesis" and "good" in the same sentence? Were you high when you watched it or something?
As for the trailer, I am not impressed. Yet Another Generic SciFi Action Movie does very little to change my opinion that Star Trek should have ended years ago. It's just sad watching the owners destroy every last happy memory in an effort to extract a little more money from the rabid fanboys.

Not a new concept on an old idea, what ever will we do, they have tarnished the good name of an already worn out franchise 
You could cook some people a great meal and all they would do is cry how it wasn't like what their mom used to make or that the last time someone cooked that dish it was terrible.

i gotta say i was happy w/ all the tNG movies.
why do people feel the need to go all emo over a franchise?
i'm a star trek fan, always have been.
-Watching the original series episodes is humorous and nostalgic at best.
-The movies were nice but nothing after the first 2 were really spectacular.
-Everything made for television (with the exception of the 5% of GREAT ST:tNG episodes) was mediocre at best.
People want to cry like someone just put ketchup on their filet mignon. It just isn't logical Jim.

Star Trek: fantasy TV show that have hollywood physics, repeative content and targeting to lowest common denominator of TV watchers. It is amazing that so big budget TV show totally fails to deliver anything worth of watching (except Voyager's Jeri Ryan).
Hello Hollywood!
Would you please hire someone who can actually write intresting SCIENCE fiction story with good characters. Instead of writer who just randomly adds intresting sounding terms from quantum physics books or just invents them from fly - or copy pastes characters and story line from Hollywood's cookbook. Also never ever again add child genius to shown (a.k.a. Wesley Crusher) - or preferably don't add child characters at all. It would be nice, if civilizations that Enterprises encounter would be bit bigger than one village, city or goverment. And how about bit different main characters than: captain, doctor, science officer, weapon officer, communication officer and engineer... those are bit boooooooring after 5 shows...
oh heck... I could continue this list couple more pages... |

Could have been worse. Based on his last film I expected this Star Trek to be shot from the POV of a camcorder belonging to a crew member who was trying to make it to engineering while the ship was under attack.
I do wonder what is with them being so young though. Stargate is doing the same thing for their next spinoff. Next thing you know we'll be getting into the Anime style and have 13-year-old captains running around. |

Well the idea I think is that Kirk and Spock are cadets, so it makes sense for them to be in their young to mid 20's. I'm assuming (and hoping) that the other officers are older and don't look like they just graduated highschool.
My bet is that "OMG THE CAPTAINS DEAD" happens and "KIRK TO THE RESCUE" shortly follows.

I do wonder what is with them being so young though. Stargate is doing the same thing for their next spinoff. Next thing you know we'll be getting into the Anime style and have 13-year-old captains running around.
You just had to say it
Superior, if for no other reason than not being in the character's head.
Lafiel = Genetically engineered warrior princess/captain.
Haruhi = Cuthulu.
I think we know who is superior
That said I haven't finished watching Banner yet, I have my copy of Crest on my shelf.... though methinks I can see them doing something like that in series 2, I mean whatever she wants to happen happens so...

Star Trek is dead, leave it buried!
Not a new concept on an old idea, what ever will we do, they have tarnished the good name of an already worn out franchise
You could cook some people a great meal and all they would do is cry how it wasn't like what their mom used to make or that the last time someone cooked that dish it was terrible.
Seriously, looks pretty good to me can't wait to see it.
You need glasses then. Or a better brain.
That meal you're going to cook actually has to be good for your analogy to work. It only takes the first 25 seconds of that trailer to see what utter crap that movie is going to be. The rest of the trailer just re-affirms it. |

They had no idea where to go with Voyager.
"hey... lets send it really far away so its exploring new
stuff".
"ok. we're exploring new stuff. now what?"
"um. how about some sort of holodeck malfunction"
"the borg"
"time travel"
"how about an episode with klingons?"
Yes Enterprise was crap but whats all this Voyager bashing, it lasted for 7 series and had a huge fanbase, plus it did alot of stuff not seen in ST before, having a strong Female captain for one. I hope in this new film they'll continue to push the boundries.
Just watched the trailer, finaly a vaguely nice looking captain. |

Are you familiar with the concept of watching a trainwreck?
Let me say this, in one episode they took the problem of being stuck as being a man trapped beneath ice looking at his own relflection. Okay, lets go with that. Janeway takes it as fact and tells them to blow a hole in the event horizon to escape.
Blow a hole in the Event Horizon.
I rest my case.
I remember that from a video review that was oh so hideously apt at pulling apart Voyager, please look at where it comes in the scale of Sci-Fi hardness. Only slightly above Haruhi - and Haruhi is meant as a comedy and beneath Red Dwarf |

Voyager had a great premise, which they abandoned after about 2.5 episodes, and some excellent single episodes, buried among poor TNG-clones and soap opera imitation.
I liked it when I was a kid, but as I grew older I came to like TNG and DS9 more and more, and hate Voyager more and more.

looks very general .. for the youth of the time. no room for intelligence. everything tought ready for the viewer.. the first toughts that come to mind.
I can be totally wrong offcourse. But somehow it felt like the Transformers movie or terminator 3 if you get my point.
it felt like FAILURE

If its Sci-fi im going to go watch it . BSG was rebooted and it turned out pretty good I think . The one thing that always bothered me about Star Trek movies was they didnt have enough budget to really throw money at the CGI. JJA doesnt have this problem , he had a HUGE budget for this movie. Ive watched Star Trek since I was a kid , every series and movie whether good or bad ive watched. If they have to change some things to get the franchise rebooted im not going to cry and stomp my feet screaming "Thats not ST" .
Hell I play Eve give me space battles and things going boom and im probly going to like it in a movie

"SPOILERS*
My summary of the new BSG, copypasta into notepad for my epic insights.
Cylons: We have returned to attack you for vague reasons
Humans: We will run away
Cylons: We will chase you while making vague allusions to some kind of religions awakening
Humans: We will go to Earth, following interesting semi-spiritual plotlines
Cylons: Actually we will not chase you any more for reasons
Humans: Actually we're not going to earth anymore either
Cylons: Ah, we have found you, we wish to be your friends, so we will oppress you
Humans: Look, we are like the middle east. How edgy and relevant we are. Now we have escaped.
Cylons: Why will you not accept our friendship? Now we must chase you again.
Humans: Did you leave your religious overtones on new caprica BTW?
Cylons: Ya, next to any detailed reasoning you had for believing in earth
Starbuck: STFU, I found earth!
Humans: Weren't you dead?
Some Cylons: NO JOHN, WE ARE THE HUMANS *drama*
Some humans: NO JOHN WE ARE THE CYLONS *drama*
Audience: **** off
It would have been great, had they continued making the same series after season 1.

that was pretty funny (and accurate)
that said, i still love the piece of ****.
i guess you could say loving BSG's last couple seasons is kinda like dating a really hot chick that always puts out... but she drinks too much and screws around on you.
maybe that's why i think I'll love this new star trek. most scifi is bad if you look close enough, but i still love scifi. I'll take what i can get, beggars cant be choosers
also, thats the second terrible analogy i've made in this thread. for those keeping score at home
