I believe the first voice over about Kirk's life is actually Pike because I've watched i, Robot enough to know his voice

Who is the blonde screaming at about 1:34.
Kirk's mom?
Kirk's mom?
He goes back in time and becomes his own father!!!!
He always thought his mother had a fine ass...
Thanks!
Now they're going to go back and CGI a shot of the damned thing taking off.
It does looked pretty good but then they did spend ALOT of money on the movie and it was an exciting trailer and if I didn't know it was Star Trek at the start I might've not realized what I was seeing from the beginning of it. Still I think the movie should work if you're a fan or not.
says the guy named Enterpriserules
So basically, what you're saying is that if a guy is and ENT fan, he is not a true Star Trek fan? I loved Star Trek since I was a kid (long, long before ENT era), an though I liked Voyager a lot, I thought ENT was at least twice as good (not counting the horrible season 2). I'm afraid I might be quoting Rick Barman here, but ENT definitely had that "Right Stuff" feel to it.
This ST11 trailer is awesome, no doubt about that, but there's so much I don't like. The bridge looks silly (erm, bar code readers? WTF???), and the ship being built on Earth is something I'll have to get used to (because it just feels stupid and unnecessary).
All in all, it looks like a huge sci-fi epic, but does it feel like Star Trek? Hm, I'm really not sure yet. And BTW, Zachary Quinto is awesome!
Overall, I was somewhat more impressed than I thought. Things looked better on screen than they have in the released photos. I still kinda hate the new Enterprise and some of the set designs but they did look very impressive and expensive and overall it was exciting and even if the movie ends up flying in the face of canon, it did feel Star Trek for the most part.
I did hate how cheesy all of the 'rebellious Kirk' stuff seemed at the first part and the ubiquitous sex parts. I'm hoping there's a good reason for all the Kirk angst - like Kirk's dad is killed on the Kelvin and Kirk becomes a bitter kid because of it or something like that- and it's not just a rebel without a cause situation. I imagine it was just played up for the trailer, but I just got too much of an Anakin Skywalker vibe from it.
I'm a little more optimistic than I was.

Actually...for me...I got a Generations death-scene moment with him scrambling to hold on to the edge. Knowing that decades later he finally falls, adds a bit more (probably unintended) weight to that moment of his early life. If that was, in some way, intentional on the creators part, then I have 100% faith in letting them re-write Trek however they wish...
I'll just re-post a portion of a post I made yesterday in a different thread:
Just got back from seeing the trailer. I’m one of those uber geeks who show up just for the trailer and don’t stay for the movie. In fact, I’m one of those uber-uber geeks who call seven or eight theaters first to make sure they are showing the trailer after the recent rumors of many not atttaching the Trek trailer to Quantum.
Friggin’ unbelievable!!!! In a good way. Everything about this movie just screams epic. Flashbacks to little kid Kirk, flashbacks to little kid Spock, Amanda and Sarek, Pike doing the voiceover, Sarek doing a portion of the voiceover (I think???). Huge panoramic shots of Vulcan. When Chris Pine pulls into the frame on his motorcycle, it wasn’t Shatner, but it WAS James T. Kirk. Very hard to explain, but I’m blown away. The shot of Enterprise being built on the ground with Kirk looking on - wow. Really brings the shot of him watching it fall out of the sky in Movie 3 come full circle.
Congratulations all around to the director, producers, writers, actors, and all involved with this film. I think you are about to make Star Trek cool again.

Thank god things adapt, culture evolves, and stories progress. I'd hate to be stuck with 1960's mentality for my modern entertainment...
I tell you who is selling me more as a starship captain than anyone else, more than Pine as Kirk, is Bruce Greenwood as Pike. Man he fits into that role perfect as though he was born to it. He has more presence in his little finger than all the rest combined.
Then he's doing his job. Kirk isn't a captain yet when this movie takes place. Pike should seem to be the seasoned veteran to Kirk's upstart.
Thanks!

Yeah, as long as they don't "launch" the damn thing whole, guess it's OK. This whole situation deteriorated when birds of prey and such started darting around the atmosphere of planets and Kirk took one to warp in TVH. In the same picture, Kirk admonishing Sulu to "keep her nose up" as they splash-land in SF Bay is still a cring-inducing line for me. As is the crash-landing of the Ent-D saucer in GEN. And, I'm usually not all that concerned with such things. Just this. Too much disbelief to suspend. Just too much. (Just sayin'. Not trying to start a debate.)
As far as it being constructed in Iowa goes, first, being an Iowan, "Hurray!" We're home to Kirk and the Enterprise. As has been said dozens of times over the months on these boards, just because it's SF Shipyards doesn't mean it's in SF. American carmakers, generically called, "Detroit," are scattered across the U.S. Aviation companies are scattered, too. Could be the assembly is being done in Iowa. Which, frankly, makes more sense than in a crowded place like the Bay Area.
I never thought of that. Experiencing Enterprise's 'birth' and death with Kirk there for both will be very emotional. I may shed a tear or two the next time I watch that scene in TSFS.
Yeah, it's that stuff that concerns me the most. That and the, he and Spock really don't like each other at first. It's just so entirely tired. You know, a lot of the time people who become lifelong friends feel an instant affinity for each other. Only in movies where you need to contrive some dramatic angst and you can't come up with something more original do people who end up spending their lives together instantly grate on each other's nerves for basically no reason. Now, there's plenty of reason for Spock and Kirk to have conflict, but if it's conflict that derives from Kirk being an annoying rebellious ass, well, that's just lazy and generic, rather than conflict that derives from who he and Spock are. And this has been the problem with Trek writing of the last ten years - it's gone for the most obvious, most lazy character interaction.
As for the sex, I want that. Trek used to be majorly sexy and they've never gotten that back since TOS (except every once in a great, great while on DS9). Most of their attempts at being sexy since, really second season TOS, have just been embarrassing.
