J.J. Abrams' Star Trek


Recommended Posts

I didn't say there were no surface facilities, I asked when they SPECIFIED that the entire ships were built on the surface. There are orbital facilites also. Every book has always made it very clear that ships are built in space, and the SIF would be useless until the ship was completed anyway.

edit: according to my TNG Technical manual, the assembly started at the Utopia Planitia assembly site, 16,625 kilometres above the surface of Mars with the joining of the Deck 10 computer core elliptical compression bulkhead, and the starboard main longitudinal compression bulkhead.

:rofl: Joel pulled out the technical manual, look out! :p

All I have to say is J.J. Abrahams is an awesome director with a unique vision and it's about time Star Trek got the director and budget it deserved. From the looks of the trailer, the man has done a hell of a job on this film and it will be a success. I read a while ago that they showed the first 15 minutes of the film to some Paramount executives and they were asking for more because it was so good. Rick Berman didn't have the budget J.J. Abrahams had to make a good film because Paramount never wanted to give him more than 50 milion to make a Trek film because of the failure of Star Trek: Generations at the box office so this new film is a big gamble for Paramount. If this film fails at the box office it wil be the end of the Star Trek films for a looooong time.

Just in case anyone was wondering. The music from the new trailer is by Two Steps From Hell, off their Legend CD the track is titled Freedom Fighters. Two Steps From Hell has done alot of big name movie trailer music in the past, I can see why they used them here.

*Edit* Actually it looks like it's from their upcoming CD called Nemesis II. But if you get the Legend CD you'll notice that some of the tracks sound familiar :D (Like the track named "Down with the Enterprise" which is from the 2nd trailer for Trek XI)

I'm so glad someone else cares about canon. Everyone else just thinks it's going to be so cool to have another Star Trek film and yeah it will be great. But doesn't anyone stop to think that if you just change whatever you want then it's not really Star Trek anymore.....

I salute you Joel and award you the Starfleet Medal of Commendation for valor above and beyond the call of duty. :hug:

rrrriiiiggghhhhtttt....................... so after reading the memory alpha article. it turns out writer/producer robert orci explains how everything is different by saying it's in an alternate timeline. basically none of it is canon. it's good really it means I can look forward to the film without being annoyed.

what's the difference between built and assembled?

based on the dictionary definition there isn't one from what I can understand.

Anyone have good hi-resolution pics of the USS Enterprise G?

there isn't a enterprise g, btw we aren't like star trek ultra nerds we're getting our info from memory alpha so really you could do the same.

I would assume it is like the International Space Station, pieces of it are built on earth, but then assembled in space.

Thats how they made the Trekkies not complain so much. You can rest assured that if it makes a ton of money, it will be made canon when they start basing new things off of it.

this is silly. how many alternate universes can they incorporate :p

first alternate universe where everyone was evil..and now alternate universe is like ours but its isnt.

i feel dissapointed. i dont care if kirk drives manual car or not +other things included :p

Funny how when these posters show the new Enterprise, the angles they choose are the ones that happen to hide the new, and some would say, ugly, proportions of the ship.

For example, the first image hides the awkward placement of the neck, farther back on the secondary hull, while the second ones don't really show the huge bussard ram-scoops on the warp engines...

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
