concept art and set photos!

The damn chair actually WORKS?

 

We didn't see him actually get, the pizza.

 

I'd love to see this galactic map in HD. It looks like AU Starfleet have charted the entire Milky Way

 

Charted, maybe.

Physically explored?

 

It did make me wonder if all those fans bemoaning superfast trips to Vulcan and Kronos, and speculating that AU Starfleet has some kind of transwarp drive, were onto something.

I'm also wondering if that's a graphic developed for the movie or one temporary one plucked from the internet somewhere? The other screens mostly show clips from STXI.

 

Developed for the movie. Source is here at user interface designer(1) Jorge Almeida's web portfolio:

(1) Yep, it's become a specialty in Hollywood to design these things. Check this website devoted to cataloguing such fictional UIs:

Found out about this via Noteloop's KIT-FUI listings as well:

Thank you! Those are excellent. Especially the one tracking Khan in San Francisco.

 

If you look at the galactic map, to the top right there are a lot of little ship designs, in profile.

The second graphic almost looks like a map of Federation space specifically.

 

Yes!!!!!!!

They might have a plan to keep things consistent.

 

Some Klingon concept art by Neville Page

 

Badass.

 

The new Klingons remind me of Cardassians.

And like the Cardassians, you can see savagery in their faces, and nobility too. That's what is should be like. Humans are capable of both great evil and great good, too. I'd love to see a Worf reimagined in this form.

 

Those Klingons look awesome!

 

While I dig the design, I like the ones with the beards more. Those remind me a lot of the fancy "new Klingons" from TMP.

 

I like them both, because I like the variation. It's a reminder to viewers (and also writers) that Klingons are supposed to be PEOPLE, not just interchangeable mooks who exist purely to give Kirk something to shoot at. Some have thick beards and blunt, angular features, others are smooth with pointed chins and ridges that look like horns. And some could almost pass for human if you met them in a dark room.

It would be awesome if their PERSONALITIES were that varied too.

 

A few more

 

Those are awesome.

True... and agreed on the second point.

 

All those designs and variations are so cool! Man, I love the new Klingons... I wish we saw more of them. Hopefully next time out.
