Ryan Church's design, don't mince words, what do you really feel?

She's not the greatest ship to bear the name (at least not yet), but she's a worthy hull on which to paint the name "Enterprise".

I vote "not too bad, but could have been better. And, no, I don't want to see the original TV version in a modern film. Stop that."

Err, my poll options tend to get opinionated.

I'm fine with it, but I'd be more fine with it if we actually got some decent beauty shots of it in the next movie.

 

[Jessop]

ridiculously weighted poll options.

A fan of ship pron, I see.

It's my way...

 

[Larraby]

It's looks "off" somehow ... not proportioned which makes it a bit ugly. I think the Enterprise in ST VI was the best design as it looked good from any angle.

Just a little. We didn't get any in this movie!

Church's design is good.

ILM's "improvement"... not so much.

Beat me to it ... I think the Church design is CLOSE to being acceptable, but the packaging of the thing took it in the wrong direction.

EDIT ADDON: I'm not a huge fan of Church's work in general, I like Clyne's a whole lot more, though I'd take Jim Martin -- too much of a trek vet to have made it on the st11 team? -- over either of them anytime.

?? It was the exact same Enterprise from TMP-V??

Maybe he is talking about the lighting and the paint job so-called restoration?

It may help if you had a link or an actual pic in this thread.

I like it, although I don't see much difference than the one we saw in the movie. I hate the Kelvin, though (any and all versions.) The shuttle deck on top just kills it for me, looks like something they bolted on as an afterthought.

I wouldn't call it terrible, but it really doesn't do much for me.

It's clearly lacking something: Character? Soul? Charm? No idea, but it's not there.

Ryan Church's painting was gorgeous ... I'd have preferred to see a better implementation of it than what we got.


And ... I agree, this poll is slanted against the new design.

I think Mr. Church's design was ok, I saw a few images on his web site and I like the way the warp coils glow inside the nacelles when the ship is at warp. I think on the movie version the secondary hull needed to be a little larger, it looks slightly out of proportion to the TOS Enterprise and the later refit.
