Youd be used to things flopping eh :cool:

:haha:

I've seen more than this Trailor,
Trust me this will a be Huge hit,
The actors have signed for a Trilogy,
Lucas and Speilberg behind the effects,
This will be a Smash Hit :salute:

Wow!

Lucas and Speilberg, eh?

My favorites! I love everything they make! I can't wait!

not.

I was pessimistic at first, but looking at those trailers... I cant wait to see it now!

Funny I had heard that Spielberg 'opted out' he wanted too much money. Guess that blew over.

Count me in. I don't think anyone can replace Shatner, Nimoy and Kelley, but I think it will be fun to watch.

After Trek

Quote:

Shatner did a number of television commercials for the Ontario, Canada based Loblaws supermarket chain in the 1970s, and finished the ad spots by saying, "At Loblaws, more than the price is right. But, by Gosh, the price is right."[15]
Shatner was an occasional celebrity guest on The $20,000 Pyramid in the 1970s, once appearing opposite Nimoy in a matchup billed as "Kirk vs. Spock". His appearances became far less frequent after a 1977 appearance, in which, after giving an illegal clue ("the blessed" for Things That Are Blessed) at the top of the pyramid ($200) which deprived the contestant of a big money win, he threw his chair out of the Winner's Circle.[16] He appeared on the Match Game, though he was never a regular on this program.
Shatner had a long dry spell in the decade between the original Star Trek series and the first Trek film, which he believes was due to his being typecast as Captain Kirk, making it difficult to find other work. Moreover, his wife Gloria Rand left him. With very little money and few acting prospects, he lived in a truck bed camper in the San Fernando Valley until acting bit-parts turned into higher paying roles. Shatner refers to this part of his life as "that period", a humbling one in which he would take any odd job, including small party appearances, to support his family. He also filmed a few episodes as a roving interviewer on a CBS Sports show that featured stunt actors.[citation needed] He did however land a starring role in the western-themed secret agent series Barbary Coast during 1975 and 1976, as well as a major role in the horror film The Devil's Rain. He also made guest appearances on many 1970s television series such as The Six Million Dollar Man, Columbo, The Rookies, Kung Fu and Mission: Impossible.

Un-bee-lee-vable! :o

I saw a trailer at the cinema a couple of weeks ago and I was impressed. Defo going to see it.

Here is a review on it:

http://gizmodo.com/5226460/star-trek-review

-S

IGN also reviewed the film: http://movies.ign.com/articles/973/973956p1.html

For what I saw from a mini clip, the actor playing Bones tries to do it right!

IGN AU gives a diffrent opinion from the UK review :http://movies.ign.com/articles/974/974709p1.html

The Story is a bit like,
Batman Begins or
Bonds,Casino Royale,
Raw with true modern grit,
Young Kirk and Spock,
and how they became good friends,
Star Trek Prequel,
This movie will revive Star Trek,
and a New Generation fan base,
The start of maybe more than the Trilogy penned,
Lets hope :yeah:

And that is why it will fail. Did you watch the PT? It was the biggest load of garbage Lucas has ever written, the man should not be allowed anywhere near his own creation.

He's beating his own franchise to death.

The new website for the movie is cool and has Trailer 3

Yep check it out View all the Trailors :yeah:

Spielberg hin, Lucas her -Special effects alone do not make a great movie. I saw the latest TV trailer over here, it is broadcasted regularly now - chaotic, and the cast very teen-TV-like.

I remain very sceptic. Casino Royal worked well because of the cool new actor (best Bond evah, imo), and well-dosing the action and balancing it against the narration. See how it degenerated in Quantom of Solace when narration was left behind and the gaps were filled with even more, chaotic action. Craig's first movie is the best Bond movie there is, but his second already is the worst there ever has been. The third Craig-Bond should be called "Balancing Extremes", maybe.

The point is, casino Royal was much closer to Ian Fleming'S novel and it'S mood, and the way he had constructed the figure. But the star Trek legacy is such that something vital gets lost if you skip this very tradition and reset everything back to beginning, we have seen that loss already in Voyager, and then even more in Enterprise - both were ripped out of the context forming that certain ST mood, and tradition. DS9 and TNG however, managed to fit into it, after the first one or two seasons, and that'S why they functioned well. What worked for 007, must not work for ST. Just imagine to redo Star Wars 4-6 with a new cast, without Harrison Ford as Han Solo, etc. It wopuld not work, at least not for the older viewers, like my age group is expecting Spock to be Nimoy, and Kirk to be Shatner, and not some stretched juveniles from Melrose Place. Not to mention the absurdity to give a ship into the hands of such an extremely young crew and officers.

And Lucas - is a fantastic special effects insider - and one of the worst story tellers known in business.

Skybird, your last line had me laughing so hard I was in tears.

But I think in the movie, from what I could assess through the trailers, Kirk takes over Enterprise like his dad did in the Kelvin (trailer 3, note the same black suit)
I did notice that the crew looked a little...young, but in the starfleet, where ANYthing is possible (look at poor ole Chekov, they cast a RUSSIAN on the middle of the cold war in TOS) A young starfleet Cadet may, in a strange twist of Chain of Command, take over a starship. Of course, I don't know wether that would constitute more than taking it to drydock and getting a new captain, possibly a temporary command order while they find one...

All in all though, I can't wait for it to come out:up:

I grew up as a child watching Star Trek, I am looking forward to it . The start of the rebel ( James Dean of the future) Kirk.
