It's a PG-13 Rating, and Bridge panoramas are online...

There are also "dossiers" at the official site showing our crew during the Kobayashi Maru test.

Mentions that Pike is from Mojave. Nice.

The bridge panoroma is cool. You can even look up and down.

 

[The Academic]

I'm speechless (which is a good thing)...

 

[Eric Cheung]

I like the Red Alert look a lot. It's much better than Voyager's very dark lighting. It still sets a tense mood but keeps the lighting bright enough so that everyone can see their own controls.

The reasons given for the PG-13 is quite unsurprising. In retrospect, the sexual situations would have made PG extremely unlikely, and they never would have made an R-rated Trek movie.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

It's certainly a very traditional Star Trek bridge.

Awww, the dome isn't transparent.

 

[Sharr Khan]

Awesome!

The dossiers mention that Kirk is a "hand to hand instructor" interesting.

[Garak]

Sexy bridge, I have to say.

 

[The Academic]

To imagine that this design will look antiquated, tacky and corny in forty years time...

I knew this movie would get a PG-13.

yes -- it's true. Good thing this movie is being made for 2009.

 

[Kelso]

This is all wrong. Even unmanned, the bridge looks busy and complex.


Everbody knows that the control center of a starship never requires more than 6 people to operate it.

This is interesting...

...Uhura's dossier identifies her simply as "Uhura" and not "Nyota Uhura", while the others are identified by first and last name.

Has this film used "Nyota" before? And if not, do you think that they are going to avoid giving her a first name at all?

 

[cubbie]

"I like it!"

 

[Aragorn]

Awesome!

He specializes in the judo chop.

Settle down there, Tiger. As far as we know, the sexual situations don't get any more intense than what we see in the trailers which is pretty lame by even PG standards. Not to mention the fact that under the MPAA rating it says "brief sexual situation." What's giving it the rating is the action and violence and that's not surprising.

Doubtful. TMP is 30 years old and the bridge of the refit (and the refit herself) don't look antiquated, tacky pr corny, in fact it looks quite futuristic. The TOS bridge looked antiquated, tacky and corny even by 1966 standards.

Just watch Forbidden Planetwhich came out a decade prior and you'll notice it is years ahead of TOS in SFX and sets.

The TOS bridge looks like crap because of the budget constraints not because of the fact that the audience is 43 years more sophisticated.

When was her first name ever mentioned on-screen before?

...And the drop kick.

 

[sbk1234]

It looks like a fine looking flick. If that's really the music from the film, it sounds good. I'm still apprehensive.

 

[data65]

Well If they picked up on McCoy going to Ole Miss then I think we are in good hands.

No, it wasn't. However, I was under the impression that this film would canonize her "fanon" first name. I guess not. Perhaps she is simply "Uhura" and has no given name.
