Trailer 4 of Abram's Star Trek 11

...is now available.

Join StarFleet and if you're extremely good with Trivia - you may just be one of the lucky few who gained access to what will be shown over the next four weeks, starting this Monday in all theaters near you!

Entirely (?) different than the previous three (Online or otherwise), because that's exactly what ticket buyers deserve.

*FIRE EVERYTHING!*

:time:

Only two questions remain unanswered;

1- Will Terminator Salvation be back long enough to cut the crowds by half or more?

2- Will Transformers Revenge of the Fallen bring in what's leftover for a second wave of new fans that may switch sides?

:maybe: :maybe:

I can't wait to see this movie. I'm a really big fan of Star-Trek.  I've always been since I started watching the original series when I was 8 or nine. Then I fell in love with it when I saw TNG.

 

Now with this new vision of trek I think it's going to give it a new 2000 feel. It was old  not just getting old it was just old.

 

This will rock if all teh fan don't go THIS IS NOT CANNON bull. Who cares if it's canon or not. Is it good and does it follow trek wether it's the time line or not I care not.

Strangely it was supposed to be in theaters last December and i'm beginning to understand why... the teenagers rush out crowds for the upcoming summer time.

Their target is obvious, create a Next Generation of solid fans.

IIRC, my first contact with TOS was on a B/W TeeVee when i was 14 in '70. Re-runs. Apollo landings, Vulcan mystery - good timing by Paramount Studios & Gene Roddenberry.

That's when people started to believe in UFOs (somehow), blame the saucer like Enterprise NCC-1701.

Now, we got the real prequel of the prequels to deal with and for the first time in 40 years worth of galactic adventures we will finally know what recruits training at Utopia Planetia ;) (or_and at StarFleet HQ, btw) involves.

Thanks to GDI revolutions, the modern Kirk & the real McCoy are going to push the envelope beyond fascinating magic, btw.

Sci-Fi, done right.

so around 50 eh

To be honest, I don't see any difference between the 3rd or the 4th one, and also, it looks like a compliation of what we have seen already.

What would be interesting is that they revive the TOS starting from the end of the 3rd season

2:  Transformers:  

 I'm so excited.  Ravage and soundwave (cuddles his favorite giant robots)
I can't figure out their naming strategy though.   They don't rename Megatron to Galvatron because they don't want to confuse the general audiances... but they call devestator by his real name even though the tank (who should have been brawl) was given his name in the last movie...  so that isn't confusing? WTF?

I'm not going to be upset just because they can't agree with how they should handle names.   I think it will bring in some fans that may... wait a minute, I can't relate back to your main sentance.   your sentance doesn't make any sense.   leftovers for a second wave of new fans that switch sides?  what are you talking about?

On TeeVee, Cable or as Films?

Wanna bet that's exactly their intentions ***IF*** this one ends up being profitable enough - you may say it is a market probing device worth 120+/- minutes of a huge corporate gamble.

 

Honestly, it is not a compilation of previous "writings" or a copycat of many Trek seasons (TOS,TNG,DS9,VOY) or of V'ger to Nemesis movies... it is a self-sustainable prequel that COULD skip an entire four years of their own individualities instead of re-mastering William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy to boldly go where everyone has already gone before and soon after. To make a now true five years mission rather than some executives still crying at their office desks.

Have you actually read the mind-boggling superbly constructed screenplay by Orci & Kurtzman? Then, don't speculate.

Just pick your seats and then come back here to judge a cover by its book and visual artifacts.

I don't mind being quoted but in all its true meanings.

Here's a situation; you go into a Multiplex and your favorite Transformers (btw, :S thanks for hi-jacking the ST thread) is on ---but--- that monthly old Trek 11 (that everyone has been talking about lately) poster is still in its usual framing.

What would you decide; newest robots sequel number two, sure shot from a legendary past or BOTH?

You are part of the second wave above that may just switch sides and become a new Star Trek fan. Sci-Fi contexts included twice with Terminators in between.

Trek doesn't need to do anything to get new fans.  Trek just needs to not suck ass so much every other iteration...  They keep bouncing from cheeseball to serious, it's annoying.  DS9 ended up being the best of the shows because it was the only one that stayed half serious, and it wasn't even Trek.  As long as they leave the sixties humor in the sixties and stop making odes to the nonsensical episodes lacing TOS, they'll do just fine.

I could not agree more.  I think you hit the nail right on the head.

 

PS mooster is 35 actually.

Well from early reports it is looking good.  The surprise showing to ST fans in Texas got a six minute standing ovation at the end, so obviously they liked it.  The two reviews I have seen so far were glowing.

That's only one of the Trailer-4s! :borg:

Enjoy it!

And, now the CLIPS are flooding our reality over - this is gonna tear apart every last misconceptions anyone ever had about how that crew got together long enough to beat the odds.

Sorry, no more hints! Held to secrecy.

Going Down?

Still no Dinobots or Unicron, though.:annoyed:

We need more than two Transformers movies anyway, so that's good.

Hijacking won't deviate my attention from the Kelvin nor will it change my mind about a few story concepts be it Robotic in nature or driven by adventurous exploration urges. :borg:

Besides, everyone knows toys can't be trained to obey any other spiritual quests than their own metamorphic kinds.

Sure will be a summer of Sci-Fi bests though.

Well I'm a huge TOS Star Trek fan.  I hate everything after that for the most part, especially TNG, DS9 and Voyager style ships. They are too obviously cheesy 80's sensability to me.  So that being said, I picked up the new U.S.S. Enterprise toy from the new movie coming out today.  And I have to say, sitting next to the original NCC-1701 from the TV shows and the NCC-1701/1701-A from the original movies, it actually looks like a great natural progression.  When I first saw the ship in the trailers I was a little dismayed.  But I have to say, whoever designed this new version of the Enterprise undoubtably studied all the prior design and art that came before.  When you can look at it in 3-D, so to speak, it really looks pretty good.

As for the movie, I'm totally open to a reboot and from what I've seen in the trailers I'm excited.  They certainled nailed Dr. McCoy!

After having dropped a spec script on Michael Piller's desk titled "Panic..." (just one in the multi thousands more, btw!) in 08-00 for Voyager's last season, and receiving a splendid letter from Maggie Allen... i found the undeniable proof Trek isn't really about what but where the action is.

TOS certainly is a fundamental reference but the stranded feeling of Voyager really drove me back to Science without fiction.

Proves science & fiction can evolve beyond means.

Anyone interested in #7 & #8 and a Space Jump scene for a very near release date last gasp of fresh air by recruits?

Fire anything!

Since the official site has done it with the last clips & TV adds...

 

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

Lifespan of Vulcans have huge impacts on Eric Bana's superb character composition as the *What gives you the right?* clip can prove if you listen carefully!

Tomorrow evening at 10:00PM/EST, Space channel (in Canada) has a special "Behind the Scenes" worth less than 30 minutes of interesting interviews with cast & crew... i suspect US cable providers have a similar show scheduled too.

If Abrams said it will be fun in the above show, i tend to agree with him if only because the story mechanics seem to be so energetic & youthful that this whole casting really speeds beyond expectable innovation.

The mystery remains though; Will fans of the monumental franchise try to remember the same Christopher Pike as they saw crippled by radiation in The Menagerie(s)? Or, will they reset their (open)mind clocks to the wide spectrum of emotions this film is bound to cause?

I must see this at least twice on the silver screen (both because i'm in Francophonic Québec & that i want to attend the English original and also, since the early crowds would as usual be noisy or extremely reactive!). It already deserves that much, AFAIC.

Too bad i work on week-ends, i'd show up next Friday evening to risk filling a rare empty seat after waiting in line. ;) Belgium gets it all on the 6th!

 

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

Kirk has a weird personality flaw that nobody knew about. Novelty, but a very interesting twist in concept.

And sadly, Mexico will have it all later; Wolverine, Star Trek, Salvation... that changes the entire dynamics of Summer time blockbusters -- as if, pseudo-recession conditions weren't enough to scare consumers worldwide.

Who's plotting against the movie goers? Car dealers? Or bank CEOs?

Gimme the adventures of Starfleet recruits, at least it will allow me to escape this stupidly irrational reality.

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

Critics are raving, press screenings have started, people are waiting.
