Did I miss something? Have we seen footage of the new Engineering?

Re: What do you think about the way Engineering apparently depicted?
My thoughts are in this thread.
I hope that isn't ALL of engineering, and just storage tanks or something.

Ha ha ha!!!
Nothing funnier than people picking over photos that aren't actually of anything from the Trek movie, and extrapolating to sweeping conclusions about what the engineering sections will actually look like in the movie...
Like others have already posted, these stills are from another series altogether - getting worried or concerned about how Trek XI is going to look, based on these shots, seems a little premature and without much solid evidence, IMO.

Re: What do you think about the way Engineering apparently depicted?
I'm thinking along the same lines...
However, a couple of people who attended the 20-minute preview screening said that engineering looks pretty industrial and gritty and that the contrast between 'upstairs' (the bridge) and 'downstairs' (engineering) is pretty harsh, almost unfitting for a sci-fi movie, particularly Star Trek...
P.S.
Please don't ask me where exactly I have read that. It must have been on trekmovie.com a while ago - and I was (and still am) a little bit uncomfortable with this thought...

A Different Kind of Asshole
The first picture (from "V" -- of the horizontal tanks) is obviously not a real location but rather a repeatedly-copy-pasted image of tanks. So that photo tells us nothing about Star Trek.
The second photo (showing the vertical tanks) is probably really what the inside of the building looks like, but that still doesn't tell us much about Star Trek since we don't know how the location was used, what angles were shot, how the location was redressed, nor what part of "Engineering" this location was going to stand-in for.
And the comment from the film crew who described it as "20th-century brewery": was this film crew member describing the Star Trek Engineering Room we will see on film, or was he describing the raw location?

I'd have to see it before having an opinion.

Photoshop didn't exist in 1983 nor, for that matter, did any other image editing software capable of photorealistic output.

Re: What do you think about the way Engineering apparently depicted?
Someone will have to show me an actual picture or video footage from XI's engineering.
Until then I can't possibly form an opinion.

I just went through the trekmovie.com website once more and came up with this (I know, they are long quotes,but worth reading)...

'Although much of the talk of the film is about the ‘iBridge’ that is just one facet of the Enterprise. The interiors of the Enterprise in this film make the ship seem bigger than ever seen since TMP and one thing that is different for Trek is the variety of different looks. Sickbay is much less bright and seems much more like a modern medical facility. The ‘realism’ and industrial aspects goe up even higher as you go into the transporter room, the workspace where Kirk finds Uhura and the area outside the shuttle bays. Unlike the past on Trek where there is pretty much a uniform design aesthetic to the ships, this Enterprise is more like a ship where the bridge deck is a gleaming first class, and as you get deeper into the ship the more industrial it gets until it is all metal and pipes and ducts and valves with a periodic LCD screen. I am no Canonista and open to change, but I found the variance a bit jarring. It was hard to imagine it was all the same ship. Each individual set was well done for the most part. I like the bridge in general, although I wish it were less busy and had a few less flashing lights. Transporter room was seen briefly and looked more like what we are used to in the TOS movie era. Sickbay was good. But some parts of the ship were clearly shot on an industrial location which worked for me sometimes and other times just looks like you are in a factory with a few sci-fi add-ons.'

'Is there anything that really bothered me? Sure. Scott Chambliss production design, for sure. The bridge looks like an Apple Store instead of the retro pulp look of Captain Pike’s original bridge and will probably date worse in a few years. It actually looks a lot like Alias’ HQ final season which was great for Alias, not so much for Trek. The rest of the ship looks like the Titanic and I’m not sure why.'

Yes, I had read these old quotes but still...I need to see it.
There's no use in judging otherwise.

I think so, too.
The quotes were merely meant as information for this thread, not as a judgement on my part.

I agree. If someone had told me, "oh, the bridge looks like the Apple store," I'd roll my eyes. But having seen it and the transporter room, I'm satisfied. Perhaps the brewery will be appropriately redressed to look like the engine of a spacecraft. Only time will tell.
