Well, this doesn't look half bad! I still think it lacks a sense of porportion, though.

I felt the same way at first, particularly about the protruding forward part of the secondary hull. I have to say; the design has grown on me though.

Lately I've found myself trying to imagine how the ships of this timeline will evolve. Assuming that subsequent ship classes will exist, I wonder how the Connie refit, Excelsior, Ambassador, Galaxy, and Sovereign class ships would look.

I hope we get the chance to find out, Wraith!

I heard there is suppose to be some kind of special preview or clips for the movie tonight (3/9) on NBC during "Heroes."

I saw the same thing. I wonder if it'll just be the new trailer.

WOW! That looked so nice in HD! My wife is so ready to go see it. We saw Insurrection at the theater and she fell asleep. She promises that it won't happen this time.

Some cool new images in there!

This latest trailer is on Quicktime now. This is the best yet, so much better than the first one. I'm sorry but that first trailer did nothing to really make the movie look that great, it was way too pedestrian. This one, however, is awesome!

Latest 'Star Trek' Trailer Breaks Apple Records
Third and final preview downloaded more than 1.8 million times

The excitement for "Star Trek," the 11th movie in the science-fiction franchise, has reached record proportions.

The most recent trailer for the film, which featured some of the overall story fueling the not-so-reboot reboot was downloaded more than 1.8 million times over the first 24 hours it was released on Apple.com, breaking the single-day record for any trailer on the Web site. To not be bested by that, "Star Trek" was downloaded more than 5 million times since Friday, breaking the weekly record for a trailer.

The latest outing for the trailer got a boost by premiering midnight on Friday online, the same time it premiered attached to "Watchmen" from Warner Bros., allowing fans to get one last look before the film's May 8 debut online without even having to buy a ticket.

"Star Trek" has had some tremendous competition over the years in terms of other trailers it would have to compete with, but there definitely seems to be a lot of interest in this new trailer. In fact, if every download of the trailer resulted in just a single $9 movie ticket, that would equate to a $45 million opening from those who downloaded the trailer online.

By making it available on Apple.com, the "Star Trek" trailer is available to general computer users as well as those with iTunes access, video iPods, iPhones and Apple TV among other platforms offered by the computer company.

The latest film is directed by J.J. Abrams and features Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana and Leonard Nimoy. It's the first Star Trek film since "Star Trek: Nemesis," which premiered seven years ago.

Well - the trailers continue. A slightly different 30 second TV spot. Brand new!

Looks freakin' sweet! The trailers, along with the events revealed in the prequel comics, have me convinced that this WILL be the beginning of a new generation of Trek fandom! Just as many fans today remember TNG as being their introduction to the Trek universe, I see legions of future fans who will ironically see the adventures of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy as being their introduction to Star Trek.

I AM EXCITED! ;D

Exactly the way I feel too!

But now I know how TOS fans felt when TNG started.. :)
