J.J. Abrams' Star Trek


Recommended Posts

I never really liked Star Trek. My Dad was always obsessed with it but I always thought it was kinda stupid (don't hate!) I only watched some of next generation, but to be honest, it was just because Patrick Stewart is the ****. However the previews/trailers for this started to intrigue me. The latest actually makes me want to go see it :p Only part that's ****ing me off is Harold err John Cho is in it. Where's Kumar bro?! I don't know if I can take him seriously.

the skin color is different for a start but also the nose and chin are different and imo the facial ridges aren't the same. in any case the film is in a separate continuity so it doesn't matter.

This is a hunch, but I think during the future portion of this movie, it might show SOME Next Generation characters, the reason why I believe this, is that there is a comic called Star Trek Countdown, and it shows Romulus being destroyed, well if you look closely, it shows Romulus being whiped out by that system's sun going super nova.

Now why do I have this hunch that TNG characters will be in Star Trek XI? The official comic book that tells the story leading up to the movie, called Star Trek Countdown.

The Jellyfish from Star Trek XI, which in the official comic that leads to the movie, is designed, and built, by Geordi La Forge.

Star Trek Gets PG-13 Rating

No surprise there then. Didnt seem like anything else, not didnt need to be. So far it's shaping up as a nice reboot. And also as it seems i need to update my poster collection - have some original teaser posters (the ones with faces).

Hmm... Interesting. I thought this movie was the start of a new universe, but maybe Spock's and Nero's trip back wipes out or makes major changes to the existing universe?

Whoa! Nice find. I'd love to see a bit of the post-TNG era in this movie.

Here is an early Spill.com preview review of Star Trek by Carlyle. He's a hardcore trekkie like most of us, and he...well just listen to his review and you'll be happy.

Just be aware, it is NSFW as it has quite a bit of harsh language as per usual with anything from Spill.com on their audio section :)

Oh, and he makes it a point not to spoil anything. He discusses in very small detail the basic plot and some basic stuff about the story and characters. But other than that, he doesn't spoil anything.

Spock gives fans Star Trek treat

Spock actor Leonard Nimoy set his phasers to stun at a movie screening on Monday when he switched 1982's Wrath of Khan for the new Star Trek film.

Sci-fi enthusiasts in Austin, Texas turned up for the classic film only to find Nimoy introducing the first public showing of director JJ Abrams' prequel.

The film was given a six minute standing ovation and one filmgoer said fans were "crying they were so happy."

Star Trek, the 11th film in the franchise, is due for release on 8 May.

It follows James T Kirk as he graduates from Star Fleet Academy and becomes captain of the starship Enterprise.

Chris Pine takes over the role of Kirk which was played by William Shatner in the 1960s television series and seven of the films.

The prequel had its official world premiere in Sydney, Australia on Tuesday night.

Film company Paramount arranged for Nimoy, along with the film's writers and its producers to unveil the film to hardcore fans first and the audience from Monday's unexpected showing immediately started posting reviews on Twitter.

One fan called it "the best Star Trek movie ever" adding, "yes, it even beat Wrath of Khan".

Another said, "the cast is superb, the story is compelling, the action is exciting". Another simply added: "Just saw the new Star Trek movie and it MELTED MY PANTS!!!!!"

The enthusiasm carried over to the Sydney Opera House premiere, where one viewer reported "there were a lot of moments where the audience spontaneously burst into applause".

Nimoy, who played Vulcan crew member Spock in the television series and several films, has a role in the prequel.

Heroes actor Zachary Quinto, who plays the younger Spock, commented at the premiere: "Leonard and I have become very close in this process and his experience has been unique to him and mine will be unique to me."

The new cast also features Winona Ryder, Eric Bana and, as the younger version of Scotty, British actor Simon Pegg.
