By now, I'd think the "screeners" would be in the hands of the tv and newspaper reviewers...why aren't they sounding in yet?
Shouldn't the "pro" reviewers be checking in by now?

- Start date
They're too upset about the fat nacelles to speak.
Read the calendar. Two months before release? Not bloody likely.
There will be industry and press people seeing this over the next few weeks, and partial reports will start to trickle out. But if you think that they're getting ready to send DVDs of the movie out to movie reviewers...welcome to America.

I have a friend working on the IMAX transfer of the film here in the Toronto area... I am going out to a comedy show with him in a couple of weeks and hope he can give me a few breadcrumbs about the movie - although they do have levels of security, for example he never got to see the last reel of The Dark Knight (But got to see Watchmen in its entirety a couple of months ago - but aside from a few changes, that films plot is 25 years old and on Wikipedia) so I won't find out if it has a cliffhanger or if Kirk dies, haha.
There's definitely people out there beginning to see the film but we're a ways away from any professional reviews or an honest to god Trekkie's take on the film.

That guy's a riot. No small irony that the folks who did the effects are IN the San Francisco bay area.
That and he shows one large building circa 1900, shows a hundred or so buildings today, but can't project that in another 200-300 years (we're assuming) buildings will be even larger and more abundant. I guess, along with the lawyers, we've managed to eliminate the activists, too.
That guy was either joking, or he is more anal than all of us combined.

Which is an improvement over last year's preliminary screenings which were universally lethal. Nobody here really believed that Paramount delayed the film for scheduling reasons, right?

In the 80s, ILM guys were saying in print that the building moratorium in the bay area would keep SF looking like itself well into the 23rd century, so plenty of folks have a history of projecting non-growth. Some have substantiation, some don't. The likelihood that the new flick didn't really do any significant research suggests their SF is an arbitrary one.

Not going by the lack of destruction in FC. Not even any clouds overhead.
Exactly -- What he's forgetting is that most of the activists in San Francisco were summarily executed in 2129.
In Star Trek IV, Sulu comments that skyline in 1990's Frisco aren't all that different than by the 23rd century. What happened? They built it up and tore it down again?
Be that as it may, this dude's evidence is ridiculous. "Here, circa 1900, we see a lone skyscraper. In this photo, over 100 years later, we see dozens. Yet in the 24th century, there are hundreds and they're all, like, wicked big. Outrageous!" I'm pretty sure if he'd taken the time (he obviously has plenty of) and done a chart, he'd see this was the direction growth was heading.
That and, hey, it's the future. At least Sky High looks pretty much the same.
...or he is more anal than all of us combined.
Not possible; that dense a concentration of anality would cause the collapse of the Universe itself.

I just checked TrekMovie.com.
The release-date was changed on February 13, 2008 over a month before the end of principal photography and many months before the 20-minutes-previews for the press.

I (facetiously) suggest that the film was delayed because those who saw it in its initial form died, and your objection is that the delay was announced prior to the completion of principal photography?
