U.S.S. Kelvin pic! (and more -- large images)

Pine looks Kirk-ish. Seldana, Sy..sorry, Quinto, Pegg, Urban and Cho likewise look 'right'. Yelchin's too tall and skinny.

Bridge looks too busy. looks more 25C than 23C.

Kelvin looks kinda cool.

Nero looks Reman...
 
I'm curious about what the engine room will look like. Reports earlier this year claimed that while other interior shots were filmed on sets, engineering was shot at a redressed industrial location. Could be cool...

I didn't mean to imply that you hated the bridge or that you were inattentive, Vigo. Its just that I've seen about 20 different people in 3 or 4 different threads tonight make the same supposition about it not really being the Enterprise, usually coupled with a firm declaration of disgust as to the look of the set. :)

...and yes, I am very speedy. ;)

Nah worries, mate.

My reply was supposed to be tongue in cheek, its difficult to do in writing. lol.

I love the design. Being an artist myself i love it, its a different take on whats been before, its a tough scenario but its been done all through Trek since 1979 succesfully.

This is just another notch in the portfolio of Trek design. in this case, re-re-re-re-re-re-design.

Anyways, i have no problem with it, well i like the chair, but hey, what can we do? Boycott the movie for looking like an Apple store.
 
Just seen those pictures and think I just came :lol:
I've had a few fan-gasms myself so far! My fan-penis is now encrusted to the material of my fan-boxers with a bond that feels more like superglue than semen. :techman:

Actually... its not my fan-penis. Its my real penis.

Someone, please... help? :(
 
Maybe there just happened a mistake with that picture ... i only rotated it and it looks totally diffrent, or better it looks like we know Enterprise and other ships.

@reflector dish ... In some movies it looks slightly blue, in some golden ... for example on Voyager its blue too ...

I also think its the dish and no nacelle.

Additionally in space there is no top or bottom ... so it doesn`t matter if the hull/body is above or below the main dish.

Just rotated and mirrored ... maybe they just made e mistake when modifying this picture, wouldnt be first time:

Of course, we would have to accept what we see in this movie as part of the overall canon and not a separate continuity. It remains to be seen where this movie will land in that regard.

It remains to be seen? These photos clearly show the new film is not a part of established continuity. This is a 100% reboot. I don't see how there can be any question of this.

On what do you base this? The bridge? There have been many different bridges. Who's to say that the one seen in TOS was the first one it ever had? At the time of the show, the Enterprise was already 20 years old.

Thats the thing, TMP was based two years after TOS era, TWO years and all that difference between Enterprises, external and internal.

Some people i take it had gripes with it, yeah.

So, Roliver, Leonard Nimoy playing future Spock, and its a seperate reboot with nothing to do with whats gone before...?



Hmmmm.

What makes you think TMP was based two years after TOS?

The actors were a decade older. There had been a lot of changes in rank. There had been a lot of changes in technology. Personalities had changed, too.

Nothing established the exact date of the movie; we only learned that it had been at least 2.5 years since Kirk had last been to space, and 18 months since the Enterprise had last sailed. Those things could have easily happened eight years after the end of TOS.

There was every possibility that the creators thought that TOS and TMP took place on their respective decades: TOS in the sixties (be it 2260s or perhaps 2560s) and TMP in the late seventies or even eighties. And having TMP in the late 2270s would be an excellent thing for chronology, as it would allow for Voyager VI to be launched "over three centuries ago" even if the first Voyagers were launched in the seventies...

I love the uniforms. Think Pine looks great.
Not so keen on the bridge though, a little .... busy for my liking.

Anyways - the KELVIN. I'm pretty sure that the blue thing atop the saucer is the TURBINE that we saw on the warp nacelles in the teaser. That means that when the turbine is SPINNING (omg) it glows blue.

Think the mini-gun the bank robber uses in Superman Returns, only it glows blue when it's spun up.

Look at the blue thing, look at the picture of the Enterprise nacelle being built, tell me it's NOT the same shape ...
 
On what do you base this? The bridge?

I base it on all of the recent photos we are discussing here. Absolutely nothing bears any direct visual connection with TOS. There are things *styled* after the Trek we know (uniforms and ships), but these clearly do not pre-date TOS in any way, shape or form. The production design is far more advanced than TOS.

The bridge graphics, for example, look more advanced and high-tech than TNG, just as USS Kelvin looks more like a TNG or movie era starship.

The uniforms don't look like they pre-date TOS...they look like a later, more sophisticated evolution.
