Pretty cool.

Wow, there is a lot of glass on the JJ-prise!

 

[Kpnuts]

Nice

 

[EyalM]

Feels big. And way darker then the rest of the ship (cue BSG comments).
And I have to say, the transporter effect is almost cartoonish in style. It's like the designer figured that the idea of a transporter is so fantastic that it might as well have a magic-like apperance.

Looks a litttle like the time machine from Timeline.

 

[T J]

Sweeeeeeeeet!

 

[Augustus]

The glass probably has a function, you know, like concentrates their energy or something...

 

[Rat Boy]

Wow, there is a lot of glass on the JJ-prise!

All the more reason not to throw stones.

 

[M'Sharak]

Transporter platform looks good.

Liked this:

So just in case anyone is wondering, there still aren’t any main cast TNG stars in the movie.

And this?

Hey, I like the ship! I'm wondering what happens when they are attacked. Scraps of all the glass could become a worse hazard than the infamous Exploding Consoles of Death!

 

[datas_cat_spot]

Looks good! I like the red around the platform.

 

[Dale]

And this?

Funniest thing I've seen all week!

I think the transporter sparkle/swirl looks no more cartoony or real than how it looks in TOS, TNG, the movies, VOY, DS9, or ENT.

I don't get the swirling effect. It's like they're in a molecular blender.

Romulan soldier- Sir their ship is disabled shall we fire a quantum torpedo?

Nero-no, disable their deflector dish and let the space particles finish them off.

Ellen Tigh did the effects for the new Star Trek movie.

Hmmm, like in the old cartoons, or maybe a Terry Gilliam animation -- the Enterprise takes a fatal hit, you see a network of cracks forming until it crumbles into tiny bits and falls downward off the bottom of the screen.

Yes, downward; I know there's no "down" in open space, but we're talking cartoon violence here.

When you think about what the transporter does, they sort of are.
