Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

[F. King Daniel]

I love that Google Translate makes it "Star Trek Without Borders"

Makes me think of a series about Dr McCoy practicing on underprivileged and war-torn planets.

That's not Google Translate's doing - it's a literal translation of the title for the Brazilian release (Star Trek: Sem Fronteiras).

Movie has a different title in Portugal, though (Star Trek: Além do Universo = Star Trek: Beyond the Universe) - I'm not sure whether that's particularly unusual, but ralph might know..

Last fall, Paramount Pictures put up the first teaser poster for STAR TREK BEYOND - a placeholder design using the 2009 film's photos - at the MIPCOM Entertainment Expo in Cannes, and it seems that CBS/Paramount has continued that trend for both the upcoming film and next year's new Star Trek television show as well at the MIP TV international television trade show.

In portuguese "Beyond" means "Além" and doesn't sound right as movie title (sound is not good, it seems something sobrenatural). So, they have to look for alternatives.
"Sem Fronteiras" means borderless. I think it is more consistent.
In Portugal, It seems a little bizarre "Beyond the Universe".

Hi all,

Link above to very interesting competition to win an official STB T-shirt.

The T-shirt apparently has spoilers about the movie!

Cheers,

Is that a Gem Her Der?

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Is that a Gem Her Der?

The skin is less craggy and the nose and forehead lack the pronounced central bony ridge, but it's VERY similar.

I like that the Swarm seems to be made up of different species

Sun Kang and Dwayne Johnson.
My T-shirt, please.

I'm kind of disappointed that so far the bad guys are ugly aliens (Darth Maul syndrome) while the good guys (girl) are pretty. It's especially bad here since there are multiple alien types on the bad side.

 

[JWPlatt]

Would you like it reversed?

 

[CorporalClegg]

Who says they're ugly? Eye of the beholder and all that.

Besides, I think the NotRemata'Klan looking dude is handsome.

 

[JWPlatt]

Who says they're ugly?

Yeah, this raises the ugly specter of racism, calling them ugly.

Oddball said it best:
ODDBALL: Have a little faith, Crapgame. They're beautiful people.

Let's replace "ugly" with "scary looking". That might reflect my intent better.
It just seems like simplistic thinking or perhaps a cliché. It bothered me in Insurrection too.
I hope the movie shows a more complex dynamic with them. I have faith in Pegg's storytelling abilities, just not so much faith in the makeup designer's originality (Honestly, they look like a Jem'hadar and a Reman).

What if Krall's people are uber xenophobes that have been destroying any alien ship that comes close to their territory, not just for years but decades.

Then it would be logical, ahem, that the crew would have to deal with a multicultural mix of alien survivors, perhaps providing the leadership to band the ragtag group together..

From what Pegg said last year, it does now appear STB is perhaps a heist film populated with Star Trek characters.

The crew are split into 3 groups (Kirk, Chekov & Scotty; Bones & Spock; Uhura & Sulu). Each perhaps having a piece of the jigsaw puzzle. What they do, the alliances the forge, etc allow them to complete their tasks ie, pull off the heist.

I wonder if these two actors with Justin Lin would be a kind of comic relief, the same way the two guards in Pirates of the Caribbean. Particularly if the one on the left is Danny Pudi.

If that's true, then I'm even more excited. The closest we've been to a Trek heist film is the "Stealing the Enterprise" scene in ST III, and that was awesome.
