Been watching the trailers over and over ,and i must admit, questions aside, they are getting me excited. I'm such a sucker for Trek that I am interested in seeing what this reboot will be like. Still have many questions. For example, Bruce Greenwood as Captain Pike is way too old at this time

Yeah, and I read the writers statement on this fact. they said it made more sense to build a starship within the gravitational field of a planet so that all the equipment can be tested in that field. The writers stated that most people mistakenly assume starships don't spend sufficient time in "

Agreed. The parts of the ship were constructed in San Fran, so Iowa makes no sense. if you're going to go that route, the desert would then be the most logical place to build starships. I could see shipyards in arid New Mexico or Arizona. Yeah, we'll have to see if Abrams' reboot gets the feel

Another HUGE problem with assembling the Enterprise on Earth is that not only is it on Earth...It's in IOWA. How convenient. One discussion I had with another guy who runs a movie trailer site is that TOS people are going to have to swallow a really big pill with this story. If you've seen

Well said! I just dropped my thoughts ,and they echo yours (though much more longwinded, of course!) I was really ticked at showing Uhura in a bra as well. Must there always be a bit of titillation in a movie trailer. And i'm old enough to be a bit irritated that the one Black woman in the cast

We had a long discussion in the last few weeks about a bunch of still shots from the movie, but I don't know that anyone was aware of these new trailers. I certainly wasn't. I just watched them and they look great, but i have some questions. JJ Abrams is an amazing action director, and I know

The Spock casting not only works from what I saw, but I'm damned impressed. That was NOT an easy role to fill. Not so sure yet what I think on the casting for Kirk ~ "Where love and magic meet" ~ http://www.adriannebrennan.com Take a bite out of Blood and Mint Chocolates: http://www.adrianne

You're not late. I have an email with the trailer (and some new images Paramount released last week) after I uploaded it to my site, but never pressed send. My bad. I DID send a review/interview from the 45 minute press session on the Paramount lot that happened, but I haven't done much to

Okay. I'm confused. Where is the chatter and talk about this trailer? True enough, I'm not on this site enough (2 or 3 times a month or so), which is why I usually do a search thru the archives to get in on any good convo. About the only thing I could find on the new Trek trailer released since
