Panoramas of Enterprise interior on official site

I only zoomed down one corridor, but was surprised and disappointed to see that texture-wise, this is very much like the later TOS flicks, with fiberglass texture.

Still, if you can make these corridors turn red, they probably look a lot better.
 
Those corridors look good overall, even though I'm not too fond of the polished floors.

Some screenshots. Click thumbs for bigger pictures

THANK YOU J.J. I love this!!! very 2001ish, ( ONE of my top ten favs!;))GOODDD! when I first heard they were doing a reboot of classic trek, I was afreid my eyes would be assaulted by the ENTERPRISE'S technicolor dreamcorridor again! :guffaw:
 
Kinda like it. It does look very 2001 - and that's a good thing.

Yep. The various control interfaces look very much like such things that we use IRL - they stand up well to examination.

The construction of the corridors makes sense - the various modules look as if they're snapped or fastened into place.

It's easy to understand why the producers and designers consider that they're making the ship "more real."

If Abrams et al were so deeply moved by the corridor design of the Wildfire facility in Robert Wise's The Andromeda Strain then they should have just recreated it without those dumb insets that, A). increase the load on the ship's environmental control system due to the excess volume of atmospheric gasses that need to be conditioned, and B). reduce the usable volume in those wall lockers/equipment access ports (why else would most of them be labeled?). BTW, trevanian, check your PM inbox.

^^^ Doesn't look very much like that comparison at all.
And wow, here comes the technobabble bull. :rolleyes:


Anyways, on the interior. It looks incredible, very 2001 like.
Which is the pinnacle of Science Fiction design.

Awesome job J.J.and Co.
 
Do Curved Walls hurt less that straight ones, when one is slammed against them during a crisis?

One would think that somebody would have suggested a LOT of Padding by now!

>snicker<

ooo... what would be cool is, Internally Focused Inertial Dampening Fields that keeps one from slamming sideways against a bulkhead.


oh wait... maybe they already have something like that, cause nobody ever seems to get hurt when a photon Torpedo hits a ship.
(except on the bridge...:lol:)

Can't say it particularly appeals to me. It's an uncomfortable compromise between a clean aesthetic reminiscent of 2001/Andromeda Strain with the interior design equivalent of greeblies all over it. I would've preferred either a cleaner aesthetic or something more organically detailed through exposed piping and such. Also, the deck is ridiculously shiny. :wtf:

When was the last time you watched 2001? Just curious.

Yeah, probably back in 2001. :lol:

Why, does Discovery have a light fitting every six inches too?

If it's a hybrid between Andromeda Strain and 2001 it has the first ones
lights and 2001s functional looking greebles. :bolian:
 
Seems to be a common theme with each new release of images. Posters say something looks 2001ish, or Galaxy Quest-esque, or New Battlestar Galactica like...

I'm kinda hoping it looks and feels like Star Trek.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the majority. It does look like everything but Star Trek so far.

That being said, as far as corridors on a Federation Starship go, these seem fine and have a similar feel. In this case, they feel like they evolved from the NX-01 Enterprise. Though the glossy black piano finished floors do make me think of Spaceballs for some reason...
 
I don't like it. It doesn't look like Star Trek. Therefore it rapes my childhood.
Serves your childhood right for getting drunk and walking the streets in a miniskirt, six inch heels, and spandex halter top. :lol:

I'm warming to the the new design. But it is a bit too bright and stark. Very Kubrick. At least there are no glowing red HAL eyes around to read my lips.
 
I think the design is intriguing. It's indulgent, much as the exterior ship design is indulgent (I can think of no reason why a scientific/military vessel has any particular need for reflective deck surfaces or concave wall panels), and I like it for that reason.
 
:scream: *don't judge the movie on the sets* :scream: *don't judge the movie on the sets* :scream: *don't judge the movie on the sets* :scream:

The white walls! Oh, how I hate white walls! Reminds me of renting and every apartment I ever had. White walls. Still, the overall look is good. Nothing spectacular (it's just a corridor, after all for chrissakes!). But it looks good. But how 'bout some color? Or, light them with color like different TOS sets were sometimes lit. ;)
But really, wouldn't walking those shinny halls for a while give a person a headache?
