[jakelm]

I thought it was great. A starship being built in the city...WOW>..I cant wait.

[Lasareath]

The early days of James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and first outer space mission.

I can't wait for this movie!

See, I didnt know that their first mission together was on the Enterprise. I also didnt know that Krik got the Enterprise on his first mission.

[fatchowmein]

Sweet! I hope it's good. The teaser trailer after Star Trek, Defiance, was awesome. WWII. Daniel Craig. Does that guy ever take a break between movies?

Can't wait for both.

[jakelm]

This is a cool little read.

[hockeyboy]

I just don't like that Zachary Quinto though.

[zingo]

And directed my JJ Abrams. Sweet.

[Keiko]

40+ years and still Trekin' :cool:

[mantis]

Oooooo, Goosebumps.

Ditto Brother Ditto.

[Ron-P]

And directed my JJ Abrams. Sweet.
This has me worried. He has yet to impress me as a director. I sure hope he doesn't screw it up.

I'm just glad Spielberg isnt doing it.:D

[Ron-P]

My worries are no more. This looks to be fucking awesome!

I saw this trailer in the theaters yesterday and it looks great. The story should be interesting and the special effects look amazing!

[cfrizz]

What is KNOWN about TOS is that Kirk is the youngest captain. How/why Spock & Kirk meet at SF Academy needs to be explained.

They both can't be attending since Spock should have graduated years ahead of Kirk. Spock was already serving on the Enterprise under the command of Capt. Pike when Kirk was appointed Capt.

If they mess with the 40 yr well established history of Kirk & Spock, trekkies are going to be in an uproar!!!:eek:

Im with ya Ron. That does look to be pretty damn good.

Agreed. Also, Spock had already gone through at least a dozen pon fars before Kirk entered puberty and even knew green women existed on Rigel 12 . :p

The trailer looks really cool, but I hope the prequel is kept in tradition of TOS. If they screw this up, life as we know it will cease to exist. :eek:

I wanna see Cadet Kirk's final solution to the Kobayashi Maru scenario. :D

[DarqueKnight]

I recall that Spock spent some time as an instructor at SF Academy prior to being assigned to the Enterprise.

[BrettT1]

I just don't like that Zachary Quinto though.


I don't know much about his acting (I don't watch Heros), but he sure looks like a young Spock. :D

[DarqueKnight]

The trailer makes it seem that Spock did not have as much emotional control in his younger days.

[cfrizz]

He was younger, so of course he didn't. He was always fighting his human half during TOS, which is what drove him to attempt Kohlinar during the first movie.

[DarqueKnight]

Well, this will be a very dangerous version of Spock then.

[Ron-P]

It's so refreshing to see a more rough and tumble Kirk like in TOS and the TOS films. TNG was a joke that should never have materialized.

I really hope this does extremely well so we can get more films.

[mantis]

The new trailer was aired on Hero's which by the way was completely awesome.

I'm now more excited to see this movies. It looks cool.

[Keiko]

TNG was a joke that should never have materialized.
When it first came out I thought so too Ron. But as the series went on and got into the mid and later seasons it got really good. A lot of the stories in Next Gen were extremely well written. I look at all the ST series as one big picture and how it's evolved as a whole. I guess I'm a geek Trekkie cuz I love it all. :o

If this new film sparks an entire new generation of prequels & sequels it will be exciting for all us fans. I'm looking forward to the next evolution. Live Long and Prosper Star Trek.

[Joe08867]

Didn't Spock meet Kirk during Kirk's Kobayashi Maru tests?

Looks to be an awesome prequel. I can't wait.

[Lasareath]

TNG was a joke that should never have materialized.




How do you feel about DS9 & Voyager?

[wingnut4772]

TNG Borg episodes were great.

[Ron-P]

TNG Borg episodes were great.

Horrible as well.

The problem I have with all ST spin off's was the casting, not a single good character in any of the shows. No good interplay between the characters, too much drama and not enough story or action to keep the series interesting.

What the TOS had (and the films) none of the other shows could duplicate and that is where it failed.

[bobman1235]

Sorry but I couldn't disagree more. The original was bad in every sense of the word. No series in the history of television has gotten more credit for being worse. It gets credit simply for being one of the first mainstream sci-fi shows, but everything about it is horrid. Terrible acting, really cheap sets and laughable special effects, silly stories. I know campiness goes a long way, as does the nostalgia factor, and that's cool ; I like a lot of crappy shows just cuz I was a kid when they came out. But I don't pretend they're actually good, I just know I LIKE them. The original Star Trek, even if you like it, is still a really really bad show.

I think most of the sequels really stepped it up in terms of story, acting, and everything else the original lacked. I don't particularly care for most or any of them, but they're by far a better product.

[Ron-P]

Oops, my post above was meant to address this quote below, not the one in my post above.

[Kris Siegel]

It looks like it could be good but I'm not sold yet. One thing that strikes me odd is Kirk was 12 years old when the Enterprise was finished being built so that didn't seem to line up. Hopefully the rest will make sense.

[DarqueKnight]

If they are true to canon, that must have been another ship under construction. The thing that struck me odd was that Kirk was able to ride to within a few hundred yards of what had to be a high security military construction site. Maybe that scene was when he was an academy cadet.

[Erik Tracy]

TNG was like drinking flat soda. :p

You know what a good bubbly soda is supposed to taste like(TOS), but restaurant after restaurant you end up getting served flat soda.

The waitress apologizes and says that the CO2 ran out so you get an iced tea instead. :(

Yet you persist at the next restaurant in the hopes of getting a fresh bubbly soda but end up getting another flat one.

I rarely order soda any more ;)

[BrettT1]

A cool review that might have spoilers...

This is the problem, You are an Original ST Trekkie and that's it. BOO!

TOS was the worst, All the sets were the same, the special effects sucked.

[DarqueKnight]

The TOS fans, of which I am one, don't seem to have the lowered expectations of fans of the spin offs.

To my knowledge, and I would appreciate the correction if I am wrong, none of the spin offs attracted the caliber of respected sci-fi writers that TOS did nor did any of the spin offs receive nomination for or win any prestigious sci-fi awards or other awards like TOS did. TOS was nominated 12 times for Emmy awards in various categories (never won) and nominated 8 times for the Hugo Award (won twice). Do any of the ships from the spin offs hang in the Smithsonian, where the TOS filming model now resides?

It is unassailable that the cultural influence of TOS is orders of magnitude above all of the spin offs combined. Kirk and Spock are cultural icons. What about Picard, Janeway, Picard, Sisko, and what's-his-face (I can't even remember the name of the captain from the Enterprise series)?


TOS was the worst, All the sets were the same, the special effects sucked.

TOS's effects were spectacular for a television series in the late 1960's. The effects budget was more than the production budget of some "regular" shows and contributed to TOS being the most expensive television production at the time. The sets were the best they could do with the budget they had. A lot of the set budget was eaten up by the ship's interiors, which were deemed to be unnecessarily "extravagant" and detailed by network execs. The bridge set was extremely expensive for its day and Roddenberry had to fight hard just to come within the neighborhood of the level of detail he wanted.

Unfortunately, even though TOS was a popular show and was able to "cash in" on the "space age" craze at the time, the show's production costs were just to much for network exec's to swallow. Gene Roddenberry tried, unsuccessfully at the time, to get network exec's to see that TOS had social and artistic value which justified its high production costs. The "suits" position was that advertisers who sponsored TOS were not paying any more for a minute of ad time than those who sponsored some cheaply made western. Therefore, TOS was eating into network profits and had to die a slow, painful death.



The problem I have with all ST spin off's was the casting, FALSE!

Name one character in the spin offs that has the stature of Kirk or Spock. Even TOS's secondary characters Chekhov, McCoy, Sulu, Scotty, tower over the secondary characters of the spin offs. The only mildly memorable character from any of the spin offs was Seven of Nine from Voyager...and that was only when she started wearing that tight catsuit.


not a single good character in any of the shows. FALSE!!

Well, I've seen every episode of TOS and I have my 33 favorite TOS episodes in my video collection. I never get tired of watching them. I watched the premier of ST:TNG, thought it was boring drivel and just "checked in" every now and then to see if it got better. It didn't. The series finale was stupid and came seven years too late. I know Roddenberry was spinning like a jet engine turbine in his grave. Voyager: I watched the series premier and finales. Good riddance DS9: I watched the premier and the episode where Sisko went back in time and met Kirk and Spock during. I thought that episode was brilliant. Other than that, it was just a weekly parade of alien freaks. Enterprise: Never watched a single episode...read the synopsis and just wasn't interested.

I wish all the characters from the spinoffs would just be put in a cargo container and flown into a black hole.


No good interplay between the characters, too much drama and not enough story or action to keep the series interesting. WHAT!!!, FALSE!!!

Can a true Trekkie ever tire of hearing Bones say "dammit Spock", or "he's dead, Jim"? What about Spock raising one eyebrow and deadpanning "fascinating"? What about Kirk always trying to score some ass at the most inappropriate times? What about the implied romantic relationship between Sulu and Uhura? Was Kirk "tapping" yeoman Rand? Such dramatic tension. So many interesting unanswered questions.:)

One more thing...I wonder why they decided to go back to TOS characters and situations for the new movie? Could it be because TOS characters are more interesting and provide more "juice" for reinvigorating the franchise? I think so. I certainly wouldn't watch another movie with that wooden Frenchman with the English accent.

TOS is Such Good Television.

[bobman1235]

Wow.

I enjoyed every one of the series. I enjoy TNG the most probably just becase of the special effects (I'm a big fan of good effects). But that doesn't make the original worse. They are all different shows, so you should look at them that way. If I'm in the mood for a classic, I'll watch TOS. If I need a little more "action" I'll watch TNG. They are all in the Star Trek theme, and that's what I like about them. (I liked the way Enterprise came up with a way to explain why Klingons look like regular folks in TOS, but have ridges later on). But I do agree that nothing will have the longevity of TOS or the crew. (Damn it Jim, it's just a show!).

That said, I will not miss this movie. It looks pretty cool (but does look like it may make some mistakes. Wasn't spock like 50 yrs old when kirk joined starfleet?) I went openning night for 2 thru 7, so may be it's time to re-start that tradition.

So you're a TNG guy, that's fine. But that spin-off could not live up to the caliber of TOS, nor could any of the characters.

And DarqueKnight, very well stated, I could not agree more with your responses.

[reeltrouble1]

I dunno, after Kirk retired and went to work for Priceline its been a bit downhill for me, although if the two hottie Polk Chicks want to come hang out with the old guy in the Reel Time Theater to watch the show that would be cool, beware though I do get worn out rather quickly during exciting scenes these days, but I suppose like the song I am as good once as I ever was, well at least half as-good, which ain't bad.

Star Trek is pretty cool, well, at least better than Hannah Montana and Sponge BoB.

I don't. But that's just me. I look at it all as an evolution. To each his/her own though. :cool:

Man this new movie gives me BIG TIME goosebumps!!!
Huge Star Trek fan for YEARS!

Cept for the newer one with Scott Bakula.......
The worst rendition of Star Trek IMHO
Theme music big time sucks.

I'm gonna hafta have the SDTK for the new movie.....sounds awsome.
This one is gonna be a huge seller at the box office I'm sure!

[obieone]

The trailer looks good, BUT if they don't fix that product placement mentioned in the review, they're gonna catch hell from the geeks.

DK, nice description about WHY TOS is better. The only reason younger people don't appreciate TOS sfx, is because they look cheesy. It was the 60's for gawds sake.
If CGI had been available, they WOULD have used it!

Plain and simple, TOS was WAY ahead of it's time. This show was on during the height of the Cold War, and the civil rights movement in this country.

[MacLeod]

Im am as excited about this movie as I was for Dark Knight and possibly Episode III!

Each trailer looks better and better and this one was no different. I like the people they got to play Spock and Kirk - they actually resemble who theyre supposed to resemble.

Im a huge fan of the original Star Trek and Next Generation. After that tho they just got watered down.

[mantis]

I absolutely can't wait to see this one. Looks awesome.

[Ron-P]

They did bring on a great cast line-up and it looks like J.J. is trying to bring back what the OS was, not the passive PC Next Gen crap.

Definitely! Ive always preferred Kirk over Picard.

I did love TNG but it always got on my nerves that no matter how big a rotten SOB's the enemy was being Picard always wanted to sit down and talk, and feel, and share.

I loved Kirk's reaction when somebody messed with him - he'd just kill them! I remember General Order 24. While he was being held prisoner on some hair ball planet, he got in contact with Scotty and gave him General Order 24 which was basically if he wasnt released within 24 hours, the Enterprise would destroy the planet! Now thats hostage negotiations!!! :D
