Moderate you, I will...

Though this line makes me wonder if he ever watched Trek before taking on this job: Quote: Phasers, how do you go from stun to kill, and does anything happen? Um... from what I remember, you basically turned a dial on the old TOS phasers to adjust it to what you wanted it to do: stun or kill, and could alter the strength of the beam accordingly from heating a rock to vaporizing it. What's so hard to figure out about that, that the writers needed to have meetings about it? :blink:

I don't think he quite gets the fact that the average guy on the street does not, as a rule, go to see Trek movies. The fans do... For example, most of the people at work who know that I like Trek, when they learn that there's going to be a movie, feel they have to inform me of that fact (and I have been told that there's going to be a new movie a number of times between the two jobs in the last year). But only one person, out of all of them, has told me that they would be interested in seeing it themselves or even knew at least part of what the new movie was supposed to be about.

I'm curious to see what kind of stuff will be in the trailer that's going to be released in a couple of weeks.

And his shirt looks odd.

I think the arrowhead looks a bit too small, and I wouldn't done something a bit different myself, but it definitely looks more visually appealing than the old ones while still closely resembling them.

I actually have some positive thoughts with these ... I like how Kirk is actually sitting like Kirk did and Eomer as McCoy isn't as bad as I expected... But why is Kirk in black and not gold?

For whatever reason he doesn't seem to be wearing one of those coloured overshirts.

From what little I can see, it appears to make more sense than the silly primary colors of TOS, and the bright colors tracks with the more optimistic worldview of Trek. Different strokes, I guess.

All the colors just look too bright and "off". I don't really know how to describe it, but it looks like s cheap British knock-off that's making fun of Star Trek.

Posted Image Posted Image Quote: No longer are their signature Trek weapons boxy plastic toys, but sleek silver gizmos with spring-triggered barrels that revolve and glow in the transition from ''stun'' to ''kill.'' ''In a world where a movie as incredibly produced as The Dark Knight is raking in gazillions of dollars, Star Trek stands in stark contrast,'' Abrams says. ''It was important to me that optimism be cool again.'' Star Trek's time-travel plot is set in motion when a Federation starship, the USS Kelvin, is attacked by a vicious Romulan (Eric Bana) desperately seeking one of the film's heroes. From there, the film then brings Kirk and Spock center stage and tracks the origins of their friendship and how they became officers aboard the Enterprise. The storytelling is newbie-friendly, but it slyly assimilates a wide range of Trek arcana, from doomed Captain Pike (Bruce Greenwood) to Sulu's swordsmanship to classic lines like, ''I have been, and always shall be, your friend.'' The opening sequence, for example, is an emotionally wrenching passage that culminates with a mythic climax sure to leave zealots howling ''Heresy!'' But revisionism anxiety is the point. ''The movie,'' Lindelof says, ''is about the act of changing what you know.'' ...One other essential element in Team Abrams' conception of the new Trek: getting the old Spock. Abrams felt Nimoy's Obi-Wan-ish presence was so crucial, he told the studio he wouldn't move forward without him. Kirk spends much of Star Trek dressed in respectable black � space-cadet colors in Abrams' Trekverse Moviegoers will get a sneak peek when the first full trailer is released with the new James Bond flick on Nov. 14
