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

Look at the last 5 items on this page.
It looks how a "future" would look like using design technique from the late 70s.
Ergo, antiquated. Your mileage may vary.
Looks fine to me. the only things that don't look fine in TMP are the overly gloomy and mechanical transporter room and the light panels that cast light upwards rather than down. I dunno about the transporter room in this movie but the light panels on the floor of the bridge look incredibly dumb--dumber by far than the dumb light panels in the "baseboards" of TMP's corridors. Is this a command center or a disco?
Anyone can actually back up his/her words and post some pictures of Apples stores that look like the Enterprise bridge ?
Shit or get off the pot, as my Dad used to say.
Exactly. Apple stores look nothing like this set - someone said "Apple store" at some point early on and people have been parroting that ever since - evidently most have never actually seen an Apple store.
Well the only one I've ever been in is the one in the Mall of America. (If you want pics, Google 'em.)
Everything (the walls, the ceiling, the tables, the floor) is white. It is completely void of color.
There is a huge display in the back and a half-moon shaped counter thingy in front of it. There are also several displays embedded in the side walls with kiosks beneath them.
It is extremely bright. It is also cold, sterile, and colorless: four words I'd use to describe the bridge.
And for the record the parody originated in an issue of Entertainment weekly. And yes, it's just a parody. It's unfortunate that people are so desperate to cling to this movie that they have to get all upset over a nudge and wink.
"Desperation" more accurately describes the trivial, clinging objections to this as-yet-unseen film...
The only Starfleet bridge design to incorporate a controversial "giant sucking turbine" ceiling ultimately responsible for the deaths of 34 crewpeople.
As Leonard McCoy put it, "just who in the fuck thought that was a good idea, anyway?!"
That's Bones for ya. Always had the balls to point out design flaws. "A giant satellite dish? In this day and age? Won't it snap off?"

It would really make this movie if "Bones" dropped an f-bomb or two.
I never objected to anything. I have some concerns, maybe, and there are certainly things I don't like about it. But I'm not going to let that curb my open-mindedness to enjoy what I hope is going to be a good film.
I don't particularly care for some of the decor and I really don't like the fact TPTB found it necessary to fall back on the violent-action and sex riff to sell tickets.
But frankly I don't think there's ever really been a good Star Trek film and I'd like to think this one will remedy the situation.
Oh, I'm sure the sexual situations are quite tame. It's just I can't recall seeing such "situations" even as overt as the ones in the trailer in a PG movie that's been released in anytime in the past twenty years. In a post-PG-13 world it just doesn't happen very often--if at all. And the violence so far seems only worse than a typical PG movie only in that there's a little bit of blood shown.
Captain Pike rose to his rank in only four years--the quickest in Starfleet history. Hmm. Does this mean Kirk will reach the same rank in less than four years? 
Since it doesn't seem that he went to the Academy until a few years into his twenties, maybe that won't be so bad.

Copy/pasting these from the other thread:
And regardless of where it originated, the first time (back in October, this) may have been a nudge and a wink, but we're somewhere well beyond the 500th iteration by now, and I don't think it's entirely unreasonable that some folks are finding it bit tedious at this late date. It really has been done to death, and without support even as specific as that you've provided here. The nudge has worn through clothing and skin, and the wink is looking like an unwelcome advance.
Time to give that one a rest, I think.

Red Alert
Perhaps it should have been said, then, that the bridge resembled that one particular Apple Store, in the opinion of the opiner.

Did they do it with those iRods?
I thought the viewscreen with the visuals of going to warp were particularly awesome, and the panorama of the bridge on red alert was cool as well. I'll have to send this along to my brother once he gets fully moved in and gets thu inturnet
References to Apple stores have no emotional impact on me whatsoever.
