They are marketing it like an action flick and I just do not understand the Stingray opening. When I first saw the trailer, I thought since it was bootleg that the opening scene must be of a commercial for a different movie, until the kid says his name. Oh boy. I agree with you on this. It doesn't seem 'retro' enough for me. Looks more like an action movie than a sci fi. I am going to remain optimistic, but the trailer disappoints me a little - too sleak and marketed. And what's up with the action-jackson music? I agree with you on all points. It does look too sleek and too action oriented, but like you I'm trying to stay positive and Nimoy's appearance at the end of that most recent trailer really helps. But however the movie ends up turning out, I will be happy because it seems to have even already peaked some peoples interest in Star Trek (The Original Series in particular) that wouldnt have paid it any attention otherwise. Agreed! After this discussion, I looked on the internet and found that CBS is streaming all of the original episodes for free. Maybe somebody has posted this, but it was new info to me. http://www.cbs.com/classics/star_trek/ I don't know if anyone else has posted it either, but that's great either way. A friend of mine has been watching the series that way, I have the DVDs though so I don't need it. Youtube also has a few full-length episodes they put up to test a new format. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=20048A7C541C941C Are these the digitally "remastered" episodes? Some of them are the remastered. The Carbomite Maneuver and Where No Man Has Gone Before is for sure. Haven't checked to see if there are others. Most of them aren't, but a few remastered versions are online. Yay, a thread about Star Trek! Yay indeed haha! Still loving your avatar btw I'm going in a few weeks to a symphony event that Nimoy will be narrating (in person), I'm dragging my poor husband with me- I cannot wait.

SiriusRushFan Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Ah man, I really like the new 16:9 format of the YouTube Trek videos. Good clarity. I'm watching The City on the Edge of Forever right now, for the 1000th time.

CygXanTor Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) I'm looking forward to this one. I don't expect it to be just like TOS, that's not possible. I think a "re-imagining" every couple of decades is a healthy thing. It keeps the idea (and the franchise) going. I'm a long time Trekkie, and I've enjoyed every new change and turn the subsequent series have taken (except for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, the only Trek movie I've ever been truly disappointed with). I can say the same thing about ...The difference being that while Rush can not continue forever, Star Trek can, in one incarnation or another. I think Star Trek will break the "even/odd" rule! Live long and prosper. Edited November 29, 2008 by CygXanTor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxt1990 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I think this looks awesome. It makes me interested in the franchise again. It also addresses a time frequently referred to, but not shown in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedYoungMan Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think it looks exciting that it's a new Star Trek for the 21st century. Sure it doesn't look retro.. this is 2008 after all! The days of cardboard sets are over (well, they had been since 1969 for Star Trek at least.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 This is from Leonard Nimoy via trekweb: QUOTE "About two months ago my wife,Susan, and I saw a near finished version of the new Star Trek movie. Some special effects and new score were not yet in place. Susan can be a very honest and tough critic. When it was clear that the story was wrapping up she turned to me and whispered, " I don't want this movie to end !!" There are some directors who can manage a grand scale and some who can deliver great personal character elements. Not many can do both. JJ Abrams is one of the few. He has given us a wonderful film." http://trekweb.com/articles/2008/12/04/Exc...New-Movie.shtml http://trekmovie.com/2008/12/04/leonard-ni...tar-trek-movie/ Looking good...looking good...

I think it looks great! Star Trek Trailer You beat me to it! I like what I see! The Visuals are impressive, but it doesn't seem like Star Trek at all, it's like a new Sci fi universe altogether. I'd watch it but probably with that mindset, I'll be watching something totally new. It doesn't seem unlike the tone of Enterprise. It's nothing like the original series which it's supposed to be based on... obviously this is a re-imagining of TOS and I'm cautiously approaching it with an open mind. Like I said it looks like a totally new sci fi universe... Look at James Bond. He still kicks ass even after some bad ones in there. The franchise might need something like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godeater2112 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) Man that *totally* smacks of Red Barchetta. Maybe for the actual film they'll license that from Rush and use it in that sequence... Movie looks interesting... what is bothering me the most is Kirk seems totally wrong, and looks like he wants to kiss Spock half the time. Maybe this new film will break ground just like the series did with first interracial kiss, except this time will be Spock and "Kirky" locking lips. You thought the Vulcan mind meld was freaky, wait til you see the tonsil meld... Ewwwwwww. Edited December 5, 2008 by Godeater2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
