Star Trek XI - spoilers!

[wraith1701]

Without spoiling anything, all I can say is that based on the description of the trailer, it looks like this film will manage to inject A LOT of new energy into Trek, showing us some stuff that until now has been left to our imaginations.  In fact, it sounds like Abrams is exploring some cool ideas that a lot of us never even imagined.  And it seems as though he will manage this while staying faithful to the feel of what we know about Trek so far.  And with all of the promo pics out there, I'd almost forgotten something-- Nimoy will play a crucial role in the film.  This simple fact will do a lot to make the passing of the torch a lot less jarring. 

I'm really excited about the release of this film!!!

It seems that Abrams' publicity tour for the new film took him to London, where he not only showed the new trailer, but 4 scenes from the film as well.  Check it out- http://trekmovie.com/2008/11/11/20-minutes-of-star-trek-previewed-in-uk/

Indeed, a Rebel without a Clue, angst ridden teenage stereotype Kirk was never on my radar screen! ;)

I dunno, Kirk always seemed like a s**t disturber to me.

I hope I get used to that design.  I'm not loving it right now.  Have to see it in motion and from other angles.

Hmmm.

I think those are just different takes on the Bassard collectors. Since it's suposed to suck up extra hydrogen, the metal might reflect the whole ion technology that we see in some of those high priced fans.

Not loving it myself either right now but I would like to see more.

Hmmm... The ship is more modern than I would have expected from a timeline perspective.  The look is cool and should satisfy newcomers to Trek who may see the TOS series outdated and unappealing.  But as I consider this in light of TNG, it makes the original Enterprise more sleeker and futuristic than the Enterprise-D which is not right.

If we take this Trek reboot to its natural conclusion, everything we have seen in the past 40 years will have to be reimagined.  I can see it now...

"Star Trek: First Contact" left advanced technology on Earth by accident when it leapt back to its own time.  This somehow alters the timeline, thereby allowing Starfleet to advance more quickly than they had originally.  So now Kirk's Enterprise is actually more advanced than the TOS timeline....

The theory has some holes (like why didn't we see this change during the movies following First Contact) but you get my drift...

hoestly, I am just excited for more trek.  I'll hold off till I see the film.

[Ktrek]

I don't think that any Trek fan is not excited Rick. It's just that what has been revealed thus far is not looking as encouraging as many of us hoped. If this re-imagining is a bust then this will be curtains for Trek for probably at least 20 years until someone dusts off the old films and gets an idea for a new virtual reality play. Anyway, I'm glad to finally see something but if this truly is the new Enterprise then I think they should have hired Gabe instead because his vision and design was far far cooler!
