Jj Abram's Star Trek

[Crusader]

So we got to see the trailer for the new Star Trek before watching the latest Bond film last night and oh god.

 

It was so campy and shiny that I think JJ might have actually ruined the franchise (for the second time) lol.

 

I'm still going to watch it but I've got very low expectations for it after seeing how brightly coloured everything was.

 

 

For those of you wondering, the bridge scenes that were released to the internet do appear to be a training brdige and not the Enterprise.

 

also nerd rage.

 

edit: now that I see it again, it's not too bad.

You do realise that TOS was shiny and campy, right? I'm actually very excited to see this movie and after watching the leaked trailer it's a movie I'd go see even if it wasn't Star Trek.

[Sparq]

I thought Bakula ruined the franchise?

 

Just kidding. I never liked Star Trek.

TOS wasn't THAT shiny. Though I do think there isn't as much camp as I'd assumed in the new one.

 

The training bridge just really annoyed me for some reason. That and the hallways.

 

It has to look like Star Trek dammit.

 

Also why weren't they building the Enterprise in the space dock. *cross arms*

[calgarydave]

For some reason I thought Freddie Prince JR was playing Kirk. Glad to see he's not ;)

 

Looks pretty good to me :angry:

[Crusader]

I'm still expecting this to turn into the Star Wars prequels.

 

Instead of Darth Vader teen angst we'll have Kirk/Spock teen angst. Hooray!

 

Waiting for completely computer generated side kick character to show up on the trailers.

[calgarydave]

Oh so you mean we're going to see stuff like

Scotty's battle with anorexia

Sulu having self-loathing for being gay and in denial

and well Chekov he just looks like a cutter to me.

Hmmmm Uhura emo?

lol I'd actually pay extra to see stuff like that ;)

[bishopx]

Jesus, they're running the trailer before Quantum...I'll be the judge of it's coolness.

 

Bakula didn't ruin anything...shitty-assed writing did, killing Data did...the last people to work on Trek are on a list of future recipients of the "Don't make Bishop X have to choke a bitch award"

[calgarydave]

Yes killing Data was a dumb fuck thing to do.

 

Plus I never saw why people had issue w/ enterprise. I quite liked it.

[Dan #3]

Rick Berman and Brennan Braga ruined Star Trek, of that, there can be no denying.

[bishopx]

They definitely gave it the Scottish sheepfuck off the damned cliff in the end.

[Muran]

I haven't seen the trailer yet, but I've seen whatever pics have been released.

 

Everyone *looks* great. Pretty spot-on, sort of Clone-High versions of everyone haha

 

I kind of expect a ton of camp, simply because the movie was written by the same writers from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and Xena: Warrior Princess.

 

In retrospect, I wonder if that had anything to do with the fact that Karl Urban was cast as Chekov...

 

Probably.

[Crusader]

Berman's still in the picture. Data, if given the chance, will probably be reincarnated like Spock lol.

 

Nobody dies for good on Trek.

[Hyphnip]

I liked the new trailer. it has me wanting to see it.

[Muran]

I just saw the trailer. Looks good. Very Blockbuster-Summer movie.

[Moonlight_Graham]

The trailer looks pretty decent. Wasn't a massive fan of TOS so can't say i'm dying to see this, but i'd watch it on DVD for sure if it gets good reviews. I would have much preferred a new "The Next Generation" movie, but one that was actually wicked.

 

I liked "Enterprise", besides the corny opening theme. I liked the atmosphere & the special fx were cool. Bakula was good to me. That series was 2x better than Voyager & 300x better than DS9.

 

P.S. They didn't "kill" Data, they just blew up his body, and his "memories" or whatever were saved on computer, which i assume will be transferred into Lore's body if they make another movie.

[Dan #3]

Actually, his mind was transferred to the aptly named B4.

[borntohula]

a lot of people are comparing this film, or at least what they expect it'll be like, to transformers. i kindof see that, but i also expect this to be a bit better.

 

i think it's going to be flashy, campy and moral, but for some reason i still want to see it. this is the first time i've ever really been looking forward to seeing a star trek film actually.

 

if this fails i say they do a ds9 film, hahah.

[bishopx]

I had always hoped that they'd do a DS9/Voyager/TNG crossover movie... that in my mind, would have been a fitting ending.

Anyone see this yet? Probably going to check it out on the weekend if I can convince anyone to watch a Star Trek movie ;).

[Dan #3]

I'm leaving to go see it now, I'll post my thoughts when I return.

[AnOceanPearl]

Shay and I are going to see it at some point.

[Prometheon]

Saw it tonight, I really enjoyed it. I just wish that nearly every Star Trek film I've seen didn't revolve around time travel of some sort.

[Hyphnip]

I loved it. it was fantastic

[Dan #3]

Loathed the film. It was as if the filmmakers were saying; "You remember spending hundreds of hours watching those Star Trek shows? Well, those don't matter anymore. This is what you're getting now."

 

If the film wasn't named Star Trek and had different names for the characters/ships/aliens I would've thought that it was rad.
