Well I know I find them aestheticly pleasing, as do others.
And they don't seem cramped at all. Looks like in the trailers
they have plenty of room as they run through the corridors.
I'm sure they are plenty functional. This is Star Trek afterall.
If that was true, at least it doesn't look like like the old Star Trek which is a huge plus.
I do.
In TUC we saw pipes hanging from the ceilings, though that was intentional as to differentiate the re-use of the TNG-corridors.
Yeah, they don't look any more cramped than any other ship corridors we've seen. There certainly would be more walking space if the walls didn't curve at the floor, but don't get any sense it would be a problem for people. It's like interior design 101 lol... light colors and mirrors to make a small space seem bigger. The "mirrors" in this case are the polished floors.

I do.
If this the case, then why watch Star Trek? Why be in a Star Trek forum?
If the look of the Original series and the other series suck, then why be a fan!
JJ is recycling the Star Wars look in Star Trek. If you read some of the interviews..He is a Star Wars fan! I am not a huge fan of Star Wars, but I watch it. I do not spend money on SW dvd's toys..etc or spend time on SW Forums. But I respect the SW Style and want to see it only in SW Films and TV series.
I want the "Star Trek" style and Design in my Star Trek movie. For me to get a new trek movie, I have to give up the Star Trek look and have it replace with other scifi movies styles, If I have to watch a movie that rewrites cannon, for "Transformers" style writing and dialog, Well that price is too high for me!
I have always said the we should explore the History of Star Trek. I am cool with the idea of a young crew, this movie is all about money, they will do and say anything to get people to go see this movie.
Exactly, it is all kinds of styles depending on where
the producer, writers and director get inspiration.
How do you see "Star Wars" style visuals in this film, or hear "Transformers" writing in the dialog? I'm not criticizing you here, I'm really asking. I don't see it.

The reference to cramped corridors was in comparison to submarines, guys. Not the sets shown. Space The Rapist had commented that he didn't like the wide corridors of the original show and Cary replied
Make sense now?
Oh, wait, that's Space "Therapist", all one word.
Inventing reasons for wide corridors doesn't mean that anyone involved in the design process was thinking about that.
Camera equipment was quite huge in the 1960s (a lot of it still is). Jefferies knew that the Enterprise's corridors were unrealistically wide. They were as wide as they needed to be.
These corridors are fine.

What? Have you seen the design of the Enterprise? The Star base in the first trailer. He got people who worked on Star Wars Designs to Design the New Enterprise. Look at the super bowl ad with the SF Shot. HELL Shining Black floors in the corridors. Its not just me saying this, you have people who like this movie, saying thats it like 2001/Star Wars.
Also the interviews where Kirk will be more like Han solo, Star Trek in the Shadow of Star Wars..etc...etc
He turn Star Trek VS Star Wars into Star Trek vs New Star Trek..where the new Star Trek is Star Wars in sheep's clothing.
Here it is in his own words. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27216676/
Yeah, it says he's not a "trekkie". That's Exactly what we need for this film.
Did you happen to read the rest of the article by the way?
I know you must have a point but I'm not seeing it in the article.

There's a good reason for corridors (and other spaces) being wider on a long-duration ship. Yes, it's true that on submarines, the corridors are quite cramped. But people serve on those ships for very brief periods, typically. And that's because the "small enclosed spaces" cause the crews to go bat-shit if they're cooped up in them for too long. Not to put to blunt of a point on it, I mean...
Cary, if I may respectfully invoke an opposing viewpoint regarding the optimal habitat design for manned starships on a multi-year exploration missions:
"Well, well! Mildly astounded, Aaron right flanks into another passage and takes himself off toward his office, blessing Centaur's design. The people of Pioneer had suffered severely from the stress of too much social contact in every waking moment; the answer found for Centaur was not larger spaces but an abundance of alternate routes that allow her people to enjoy privacy in their comings and goings about the ship, as they would in a village. Two persons in a two-meter corridor must confront each other but in two one-meter corridors each is alone to be his private self. It has worked well, Aaron thinks; he has noticed that over the years people have developed private 'trails' through the ship. Kawabata, for instance, makes his long way from Farm to Messhall by a weird route through the cold sensor blister. He himself has a few. He grins, aware that his mind is demonstrating a total lack of irritation at finding Lory with another man." - A Momentary Taste of Being by James Tiptree, Jr. First published in The New Atlantis and Other Novellas of Science Fiction edited by Robert Silverberg (Hawthorn Books, 1975).
Coincidentally, Dr. Magoroh Maruyama - with whom Jesco von Puttkamer consulted during the development of Phase II/TMP - also touched upon this very issue in his 1974 paper, Diversity, Survival Value and Enrichment: Design Principles for Extraterrestrial Communities, which was published in Space Manufacturing Facilities (Space Colonies) edited by Jerry Grey (American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics, 1977).

For the purposes of this thread ... not glare-y like this. Not with 42 exposed light bulbs in a ceiling to light 8 ft of floor (a floor that is glare-y as all hell.)
I've found objectionable aspects to the visuals in all these series and film, but except for TMP, none of them have been so objectionable as to overshadow the storytelling, which is what I'm thinking is the case here.
And in the case of TMP, I could at least tell what they were going for (and for me, failing to achieve) and THAT aesthetic was a legit objective, whereas aiming a ton of light bulbs at the crew and the camera in this new thing strikes me as something that should be off-putting to people in that 23rd century universe, actors on that 21st century set, AND viewers in an audience. And I don't see any aesthetic or psychological notion behind lighting this way, so that distances it even further from TMP, which probably was guilty of overthinking the good reasons behind stuff.

I wondered whether people were reading too much into the SW thing (outside of the exteriors, which are clearly SW-derived), but then I fliipped past PHANTOM MENACE today and saw JarJar get his face struck numb by some beam, and started wondering, 'is this where they got the Kirk not able to talk and drooling on the bridge' thing? So maybe you have more of a point there than one might think at first glance.

Hey, is your little picture by your name of the trekfish supposed to show VOYAGER swallowing the TREK franchise? Just kinda looks that way to me.
Yeah, they don't look any more cramped than any other ship corridors we've seen. There certainly would be more walking space if the walls didn't curve at the floor, but don't get any sense it would be a problem for people. It's like interior design 101 lol... light colors and mirrors to make a small space seem bigger. The "mirrors" in this case are the polished floors.
The most similar but different corridors...from TMP:
