World Premiere/Advance screening discussions [SPOILERS GUARANTEED]

Romulus destruction explained in countdown.

Borg aren't mentioned (thank God)

Scotty swimming is a transporter mishap, but it makes sense in the movie.

The pipes are not engineering. Engineering is very big, and we never really see it in its totality.

 

Now that's what I wanted to hear!

Happy now.

 

Yes. Several. No Daedalus though!

 

Awsome! Thanks

[SIZE=2]An in-universe reboot, neat way of going about it.

Re: A True Reboot Creating A New Trek Universe? - Spoilers!

Going to TrekMovie.com and typing parallel into the search box definitely pointed me towards those letters of neon.

 

So... no Finnegan..? (I keed..)

Important Question, for the propsters - tell us about the darn props!!! Phasers - is the silly twisty nozzle things as dumb as we think they are? Anything of note about the comms and trikes?

 

Dude, the sets are amazing. The props work great. Everything is detailed down to the minutiae. If I may be so bold, this is a visual cornucopia. Anyhow, I gotta go run and do my office hours. Hope some of this helped. I didn't want to ruin any big surprises.

 

Klingons aren't in the movie, don't recall the Klingon prison reference.

No on the Kirk references.

Spoiler: Cadet Kirk

He's on suspension from Starfleet when he gets on the Enterprise, Bones sneaks him on board as a patient. How he gets suspended is hilarious so I'll keep that a secret unless someone asks.

The Enterprise is brand new, Pike tells Spock (Pike leaves the ship at one point and puts Spock in command) not to damage her as "she's brand new".

No extra Enterprise references that I can recall.

Spoiler: Nero's Plan

Nero plans to wipe out every Federation planet as retribution for Spock's failure to save Romulus from a supernova. He drills a hole into the planet's core and then deposits a substance that creates a singularity from within the planet itself.

I explained what happened to Pike in another post.

Spoiler: Pike

He's alive, he's on relief and Kirk takes over as relief captain, Pike is shown in a wheelchair.

 

The intro no, the outro yes, they do an homage to the original intro theme.

 

Iano, how about you? Us folks over at the RPF are drooling - can you tell us anything about the use, functionality of the hand props? What's with the trackball in the Communicator? How dumb is the flippy phaser nozzle> How does the Tricorder read out?

 

Re: A True Reboot Creating A New Trek Universe? - Spoilers!

So, ENT will be the only show that is canon in this alternate reality.

 

But apparently no more Romulus in the old-Universe.

 

Some of it goes so fast, I don't remember most of the gadgets to be honest. I remember when Chekov was using the transporter, it had a joystick-type control to lock in on the target.

 

Re: A True Reboot Creating A New Trek Universe? - Spoilers!

Oh poop!

 

Thanks anyway, guys. If anybody has some data on these things going forward in the thread, please just chuck it into the mix. Thanks!

 

Do the other Federation ships look just like the Kelvin, or are there different designs? I don't want descriptions, just confirmation!

 

So I take it there really is no discussion or reason for why the Enterprise looks the way it does, more advanced than TOS and all?

Does the Kelvin look less advanced than the Enterprise at least, maybe closer to TOS?

 

No Klingons? Then what about those photos we saw of Nero with two of them in masks?
