Found a cheesy copy of the new Trek movie trailer...
Edited on Sat Nov-15-08 07:26 PM by kay1864
But first, a beef...

Original bridge:



So I saw the new Trek movie trailer yesterday (attached to Quantum of Solace, first it's been out. It's not even online (officially) until Monday 1pm).

OK, I understand them updating the interior of the ship, since it's not 1966 anymore...

but the bridge is too freaking white. Blinding, even.

Would it have been so bad to keep the red handrails?

Would it have been so bad to keep the black control panels?

Would it have been so bad to keep the red turbolift doors?

Does everything have to be so freaking white? Could we have a little more homage to the original show?

At least they didn't mess with the Enterprise exterior much. Although it looks like thrust is coming out of...the shuttlecraft hangar deck? Either that, or really really REALLY bright blue landing lights.

Bad copy of the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDhBMbX7a8c

New cast vs old here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjTepuw4CwQ&feature=related

5. The kid playing Scotty does the voice right.
New Spock looks *too* young. Vulcans live to be hella old- he shouldn't look substantially younger than TOS-era Spock.

And yes, the blinding white light is annoying. Hopefully they're not doing that so much in the film itself.

And the corridors.

But space is still pretty darn black.

eta: Simon Pegg (of Hot Fuzz) is the kid playing Scotty.

6. Welcome to the iEnterprise in iStar Trek!
It's too bad they didn't get the notice to upgrade to black and aluminum from Steve Jobs in time.

8. Wynona Ryder is playing Spock's mom?
Dude... no WONDER Sarek ended up marrying a human. "It seemed logical at the time" my ass. Vulcans are all about the cute brunettes.
