And more than a few episodes.
The First Trailer
- Thread starter Squiggy
- Start date
Gotta say, as someone who was not a fan of the last movie... I actually thought that looked really darn cool and fun. Yeah it's clearly another fast-paced action-fest, but at least they're not recycling TWOK again and we get to finally see the crew exploring an unknown alien world.
And given what a huge fan Pegg is, I'll be very surprised if the story doesn't have more depth and complexity to it than the trailer is letting on. So I'm not really too worried there.

I'm not into it. It doesn't look bad, exactly, but it just looks like a generic sci-fi action movie to me. There's not much here that Star Wars and GotG don't do better. Keep in mind that this teaser was made specifically to be played before the new Star Wars, though. Future trailers may lean less heavily on action.
Overall, I'm still cautiously optimistic. It's gotta be better than STID, right?
A note on the new alien characters: I like Sofia Boutella's character design, but if the rubber-faced lizard alien is really Idris Elba, that seems like a waste.

Not overly impressed but looking forward to it none the less.
This sums up the good and the bad for me...

I loved Star Trek
STID was a solid watch
Got to admit despite some funny moments the trailer didn't grab me and what's with the Enterprise getting hammered in these movies, I so want a dam epic space battle with Big E coming out on top, she looks wrecked in this if not destroyed.
Its all set on 1 planet?

Looks like Mad Max Fury Road, and I couldn't sit through more than the first 15 mins of that.
Awful trailer. Awful rock music. No Star Trek in it all. I'm out. But it's what I was expecting from Pegg and a director who's probably never watched Star Trek in his life.
What we have here is Nemesis on steriods with 3 times the budget, all made for the ADHD generation.

First Contact is pretty much the only one that fits the "standard action movie" bill, to me.
Shows exactly what you know...

I....
Um...
Evan after viewing that two times, I'm still not sure what I just saw. I'm all for action, but that...I don't know. I guess it's unfair to judge something based on 90 seconds of footage set to rock music. I just expected a sense of adventure. This is finally the 5-year mission, and the Enterprise blows up and they're stuck on a planet with motorcycles?

I don't want to be that guy but I have to be honest in my reactions... What the f*** did they do to Star Trek!?

There was a bit here and there that was interesting, but...
...Assuming the Enterprise get's blowed up early on, and we spend the film basically planet side with the crew scattered about, i'm thinking there's a possibility they might pull a Skyfall and pull the ol "Austin Martin" trick. It is the 50th, and this series of films has been very fan servicey up to this point. It wouldn't surprise me if the JJprise get's smashed just so they can build something more retro looking.
I like the new alien designs. The transporter effect is cool, actually rather reminds me of the effect from "Enterprise." The uniforms look good. AND I do like that we're spending more time on an alien planet and we're way out from Earth.

And straight after being given the directing job, Lin was really going to go running around telling everyone that he'd never watched Star Trek before and knew nothing about the show. . .
There's nothing in that trailer that tells me it's a trailer for a Star Trek film.

Made it a great deal less pompous and a little more entertaining.
So you're calling the man a liar. Boy, "fandom" sure does sink low when it doesn't get what it wants.
