Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

[RAMA]

At first I thought it was a terrible, terrible scene from Beyond. I panicked!

I thought it was terrific as a commercial..almost felt like the tour of the surface of a memory alpha planet and then the "machine" pops up.

Over the course of several months, team members from Hewlett Packard Enterprise – from researchers and engineers to industrial designers and UX specialists – collaborated with the creative minds behind Star Trek Beyond to develop three conceptual technologies for the film, all based on HPE’s biggest and most ambitious research project – The Machine.

Without giving away the plot, Ms. Freeman said one technology that will appear in the movie is called the Quarantine, which is basically the data center of the future. "It is a fusion of hardware and software that enables all of the possibilities of data science and the IoT," she said.

Another technology that will appear in the movie is called the Diagnostic Wrap, a data-harnessing tool, Ms. Freeman said. "It is the future vision of the internet of things -- how enterprises of all kinds will be able to benefit form a hyperintelligent IoT. All of these concept technologies are based on what The Machine will enable."

The lip sync battle commences

oh that is going to be wild! I can't wait to see it. Zach looks awesome

Right, because why in God's name would Star Trek fans ever watch to re-watch any or all of the movies? These things should be watched once, once only and then destroyed. Good God, what was I thinking??

You were probably thinking, "Is this all that I am? Is there nothing more?"

IMO, "The Machine" sounds more reminiscent of 1984, not Trek.

1. I kinda love those ground uniforms, so the ad was lovely.

2. That ad answers the great pylon debate...

Spoiler: Enterprise tweaks?

Yep, you nailed it. All I ever do is rewatch Trek movies and nothing more.

Are you sure you're on the right forum?

Made me think of V'ger. I'm curious what forms these technologies will take in the movie. And I'll be looking out for HP logos on the Enterprise computers.

So... now it's more than 725 meters!

Settling one debate, reigniting another!

I am looking forward to seeing how Idris Elba is able to be menacing and evil whilst only being able to express emotion with his body and his voice.

That one scene with Uhura in the trailer gives me life! He is great.
I was thinking, though, that since him and Sofia are covered with make up they could have easily given them some no-make up cameos in the movie as background characters on the Dubai set

I have noticed that differently from the last movie, there isn't too much promotion for Krall the villain. Most of the attention in terms of new characters is all on the alien gal we still have to discover who Lydia Wilson and Joe Taslim will play.

That's so cool! I see the Starfleet academy uniforms by Kaplan are back there! I loved those!

Interesting that Uhura's line in the commercial is different, but that's not uncommon. They constantly manipulate lines too in trailers, or sometimes use different takes than those used in the movie.

Here's a very quick comparison. Looks like the nacelles have been shrunk down as well.

.....ok, looking at the comparison (and having some coffee after waking up ) I'm thinking that it might be another hidden gem that I should have posted in the other thread!

 

[Tosk]

Considering just how different the two displays are, I'm more likely to chalk it up to the advert having an inaccurate model than anything else. (That's if it even is the Enterprise.)

 

[Jedi_Master]

Are you having a conversation about the Enterprise's ample nacelles?

Nerds.

 

[BillJ]

I really don't understand why they moved the nacelles closer together? That was the worst thing they could've done with the design, in my opinion.

Information makes the oppressed even more powerful, as we have seen over the last decade or so around the world.

In fact, "The Machine" sounds like something we've seen but has been ill-defined for years in Trek: doutronics (which supposedly has quantified all data in the Federation/galaxy that is known) and the Memory Alpha planets where all the information is backed up and can be accessed. Hopefully we'll get to see a more well-realized "computer core" as well.

That's just a quickie background graphic, hard to tell much from it.

The average human gets 2.21 billion heartbeats in a lifetime. Let's say each movie is roughly two hours. At a resting pace of 60 bpm for a healthy person (although not necessarily true for Trekkie couch potatoes), that's 86,400 spent watching things we might already have seen 10 times. Looking at it that way, is a binge watch really worth giving a slice of our life?

Yes. So I must wonder if you are. Do you see anything familiar in my previous post? I'll make this easy for you: It was an exercise in humorous (probably to me only and, apparently, Kor - thanks Kor!) self-aware irony (or perhaps self-parody) from my post about wasting heartbeats on rewatching Star Trek movies, yet making a revealing reference to a Star Trek movie I've rewatched many times - made obvious by making the reference any Trekkie knows.

The answer to my first post above - about heartbeats - from any self-assured Trekkie could simply be "Yes!"

Totally agree. I can reconcile every other design decision on the JJprise bar this, even the oversized nature of the nacelles themself.
