^Here ya go. I know the art is 30 years old. Even when it was coming out contempraneously I still thought it was largely crap!

It does have a Gold Key comics vibe.

(those are excellent, AllStarEntprise!)

This one is creeping me out! But I like the E-E coming out the bottom of the spine!

^yeah, I think it's the smile and the fact that she's looking slightly off to the side. She should be shinier. Not enough KY in this rendering. :P

And speaking of those posters, is that Superman flying out of the top of that Romulan wave?

Ah that one, yes. That one is turd I'll give you that, the older 'montage' ones I like that I was referring to are TMP, TWOK, TSFS, TFF TUC, the TNG ones all seemed to have their own style of poster, which while different but just as good in their own way. I would so like them all framed but it would cost me a fortune!

^ Why is it "turd"?
Yeah it doesn't look like the actual Enterprise in the movie (ie the nacelles, saucer section.) But it's still a great drawing/painting

I just don't think it's any good - obviously a lot of skill has gone into the painting of the Enterprise, but the composition, dull colour and the cast photos at the bottom make it look incredibly cheesy and dated whereas the original rainbow TMP poster is colorful and exciting - it doesn't look like it even belongs to the rest of the posters in the movie series, it's very 'Space 1999'

 

[Ethros]

True enough. Not pinning this on you but sometimes I never get when people say things look "dated."

It looks like it's from the 70s? Well it was from the 70s. Shrug. That's just me.

 

[Smellmet]

I was using the term 'dated' as a criticism, the poster in question looks 'dated' but not in a good way IMO, whereas the original TMP poster, whilst aged, still looks great to my eyes and conveys an epic feel with great use of color that the other one fails to do for me. Obviously this is all subjective but thats why I started the thread, I'm interested to see other opinions on this.

That's pretty cool never seen that one before!
