Budweiser is back!!!

They're doing it in a brewery again, but who's to say they can't tweak the look in CGI? Consider, there were something like 8-12 warp cores ejected at the end, so if the brewery can be electronically fiddled with to look like a huge V8, V10, or V12 petrol engine, what would be wrong with that?

V12 warp drive, hand built in England by Aston-Martin lol

Its a big space, probably ideal in many ways, available cheaply....and yes, with a larger budget for that set it could look a lot more convincing then last go round

Now, there’s a believable starship’s engine room!

"Watson, my dear fellow, what do you make of the deuterium flow in this matter-reactant conduit?"

Has this been officially confirmed yet?

 

[Anji]

I would've choosen to shoot in a Heinekein plant, but I guess that's just a personal preference.

Hey, at least they don't have to go far when they go out for a drink after shooting???

I will give the J major kudos for the lighting of the plant. Thank GOD it is not all dark blues and grays like the Engineering room was in ENT!!! They did listen to us on one thing, didn't they?

 

[Nerys Myk]

I seriously doubt anyone's complaints about the color scheme of the NX-01's engine room had an impact on the the design of the film. I'd be surprised if those in charge were even aware there were complaints. This is the first time I've run across it, myself.

 

[Psion]

I liked the engine room in Enterprise.

 

[Franklin]

As long as Scotty doesn't refer to his engines as his clydesdales, I'm OK with it. Actually, it didn't bother me one way or the other. I probably wouldn't have even suspected it was a brewery if I hadn't spoiled myself rotten on this board.

You've said it all.

 

[Gojira]

I may sound like a broken record but for the most part the brewery didn't bother me until Scottie and Kirk are being chased by security. That is when it looked like a brewery to me. Other than that I was alright with it.

 

[shapeshifter]

I was too busy enjoying myself watching the film to waste time looking for things too bitch about.

What kind of fan are you? How dare you enjoy yourself?

I wasn't too terribly against the big tanks in engineering. What I had a problem with was concrete floors on a starship where economy of mass is everything.

How do you know what material the floors were made of?

Beat me to it. Also, concrete floors are on aircraft carriers, right? So it shouldn't be a big deal.
As long as we don't see piles of coal in the engine room, whether or not it looks 23rd century is the real debate, and that's up to artistic intepretation. (Artistic interpretation. As in: I know what I like, and I know what others should like.)

 

[Chaos Descending]

No.

 

[Franklin]

No.

Yep. You're right. Armored steel on the flight deck, coated with a non-skid substance.

I thought aircraft carrier decks look like concrete -- kinda stupid that they'd be concrete when you think about it, though. I guess they'd pull into port and have the local DOT fill in potholes.

So maybe engineering in the Enterpise has a flooring that's made of a substance that's merely covered with a top-coating that looks like concrete. Or, the substance itself just looks like concrete. That explanation requires litte suspension of disbelief.

At least the brewery engine room has scope and a sense of realism. The "warp core" engine room concept looked cool in TMP and TNG, but then it got old and kind of lame. The DS9 Defiant's engine room looked especially bad. It's hard to believe that something the size of a potbelly stove can power an entire starship.

Advanced technology, alien technology, efficiency, and so forth.

The brewery made the Enterprise look very inefficient, clumsy, and overworked.

Oh yeah, neon lights it must be THE FUTURE!!!

While I didn't love the brewery engine room, I liked the idea behind it. Making the engine core big and powerful looking was needed. I hope for the sequel that they use the brewery basis, but tweak it with some post CG to give it some aspects that make it look more futuristic, and slightly less clunky. The had a snippet of that in the first film when the Enterprise ejects the warp cores. I liked the look of that area quite a bit.
