First Poster

I don't get why everyone is whinging about the dark knight poster. The resemblance is superficial at best. But then people are doing the same thing about the ME3 posters, so i shouldn't be surprised I guess.
 
^I haven't noticed whining, but nothing is wrong with noticing an unmistakable, but well-made, ripoff. The poster is nice, but it makes me ready for the next batman movie, not whatever they are doing with Star Trek. And the fact that I have to say "whatever" is kind of too bad. I'm not talking about giving out a bunch of details, but rather the idea that this movie has its own identity. That was what was nice about the last Batman trilogy. It didn't seem to be doing what everything around it was... I do hope this film succeeds, though.
 
Was there some discussion that the Enterprise would end up being underwater? If so, I hope they do a scene like this. :)

Which part of "detonated the fleet and everything it stands for" is confusing to you?

Thanks. :) I had been thinking about it since I read some of the comments earlier, and built it in a little over an hour tonight. :D

"Into darkness" stands with large and clear print, however "star trek" is small and opaque. Many people will not know it's star trek. Is this part of marketing?

I'm seriously underwhelmed by this poster - looks 100% like the Batman posters. Along with the synopsis, this just makes me believe that they're hellbent on making this the "Dark Knight" to ST09's Batman Begins - whether the story is all that clever or not.

I'll wait for the first trailer to see if my excitement sets in then. For now, I have no opinion on this film except: Let's hope it's more than what we know so far suggests: A rip-off of everything from Heart of Darkness to Batman...
Meh... Everything borrows from everything. There aren't any original ideas left save for perhaps some strange disjointed "art" films that try to be original by being incoherent.

Nothing wrong with retelling stories, that's where all of our best stories have come from.
Hey! Don't diss on 'Art' Movies! What do you mean by 'art' movies? Drive, Rust and Bone, and The Dark Knight Rises can all be considered art films but those films all have coherent narrative structures.
 
Those are better Photoshopping skills than I have, that's for sure! Great job, man! That's a terrific shot!
 
If/when they attempt that, I wouldn't mind if it looked close :techman:
Though I keep hearing Roger Moore saying "Can you swim? " :)
