Good point. But still, I guess if you've ever been a fan you have to see this and it was only a matter of time before Star Trek did what Star Wars did in terms of prequels.
Got a tip for us?

That was hilarious.
In the same vein.....Commonwealth Bank Commercial. It's an Australian bank, and Michael Bay is actually in this ad, poking fun at himself.
Looks like most of the space battle scenes are done with the USS Kelvin. It's possible Abrams is saving the Enterprise until the end of the film.
Those things are very huge. Even that perspective alone makes the film seem a lot more scarier.click for perspectives
I've seen all the Star Trek movies. I even don't hate ST V (Generations, on the other hand, sucked big time). I wouldn't miss this for the world.
Except, from the trailer, does the guy with the pointy ears and the squiggle on his forehead (the Romulan?) speak in an English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh/Cornish accent?

What? When was Star Trek dead? I'm picking up books every few months and waiting them to get their act in order for a new movie or TV series.
I'm sure having the show on TV from 1987 - 2005 is going to do wonders.
OT: That's exactly why Ironman was overhyped garbage and that's why A LOT of movies/tv shows suck these days.
All JJ Abrams does is string you along just enough to keep you watching his TV shows.
I'll see the movie eventually but that's only because I'm a trekkie (although I think Battlestar Galactica is better).
For the record, that is the modified enterprise D. The original Enterprise (1701, not the nx-1 or whatever they called the other one) is much smaller.
I saw Quantum of Solice over the weekend and they played the Star Trek trailer during the coming attractions.
The Enterprise D, Picard's ship, which came 70 years after the age of Kirk, is indeed much larger than Kirk's Enterprise.
I should have been more specific. The Future Enterprise isn't larger then the standard Enterprise-D.
Yeah, isn't it basically just the Enterprise-D with a third nacelle stuck on top.
I was on a sci-fi forum yesterday and they were discussing the design of the 'new' Enterprise in this movie. It seems a bit....weird looking.
If anybody would like, I've made a few desktops from the trailer.

I didn't say the modified D was bigger than the original D. I said the D was bigger than the enterprise in the movie (Kirk's).
I'll admit it... I have never watched Star Trek. I know what it is and what it's about, I have just never been a fan of shows or movies like that. However, that said, with todays graphics, and a cast as awesome as the one they have... I can't wait to see this. Who knows. I may like it so much I'll be addicted haha.
I don't know how much deader you can get than when a studio cancels a series. Ratings went from 10 million a week in the 90s to 2 million after Enterprise. I don't like to admit it, but it was on life-support. Books are great, but they can't really carry a TV franchise.
IronMan was overhyped garbage? Sorry you didn't like it but most people agree its one of the best comic adaptations. This movie needs to make money if they to make a flashy trailer to appeal to a bigger audience than Trek fans, thats fine with me. That was my point.
Being on the air for over 18 years and being a science fiction show with a lot of canon to back it up doesn't help either. How I loved Save Enterprise.
Star Wars Expanded Universe would like a word with you. Books are life support but waiting to build up a demand between 2005 - 2009 isn't the horrible post Original Series wait.
Im as die hard of a Trekkie as they come. However I will not waste my money on seeing this in the theatre. I will wait for it on dvd from netflix.
This movie has really turned me off. Why must we go back to Kirks youth? There are so many other possibilities. What about a Voyager run? Id much rather see Enterprise on the big screen then this garbage.
If they wanted to do something before Kirks time, why not do a film regarding Captain Pike, little is known about this man. How about a story about how the Borg have evolved?
Why did JJ Abrams have to take over? Why did Gene Roddenberry have to die? That man made Star Trek what it is, and these others are destroying it!

1) Even the original Trek series used Time Travel as a device and that was more than 40 years ago.
2) It looks good ... except Kirk. I just can't wrap my mind that he looks nothing like a young Shatner. Maybe if the mannerism/voice are there.
