Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

[Shark]

So, I wonder if we're dealing with some new weapon that brings down Starships? I mean two ship crashes in one movie...

 

[RogueVasad]

Oh I hope not. I want a Starship battle tha strictly ship to ship between relatively equal ships. No ships getting disabled in the first strike, no boarding parties and no superweapons that crash ships int planets, is this really so much to ask for?

In other words... Deanna Troi will be in the movie

Star Wars ou Star Trek aliens?

At last my dreams come true! Some Aliens that look really alien. Besides the Horta, we had not many of these in all these years of Star Trek.

Masturbation must be tough when one has claws for hands!

 

[ralph]

Exotics. But Horta is really a different alien, not humanoid.

 

[Franklin]

How does that guy with the claws dress himself? There are odd aliens, and then there are odd aliens.

 

[WarpFactorZ]

How does that guy with the claws dress himself?

Same way Edward Scissorhands did?

At about 0:40, they seem to rehearse (or are filming) a rescue operation. Since they are running from the ship, it's safe to assume it just crashed, and thus hasn't been there for a while. But it seems strange that the ship is so weather-beaten. Perhaps it's been spending too much time at the bottom of the ocean...

Just to repeat my theory they fix up the Vancouver ship enough to fly it to Dubai.

I have seen no pics of the cast with the Vancouver ship. That footage of Pine and Sofia emerging from the hatch looks to have been done somewhere else (the set's perfectly level, for one thing).

No, it was done in Vancouver. Check out this photo here (as well as the others):

For a location that isn't supposed to be a forest, they seem to have gone through a lot of trouble to put mangled trees in the picture.

It was filmed there, but there's no indication the hatch is related to the ship we've seen. It's just a small outdoor hatch set with a lot of greenscreens The mangled wood isn't actually part of the set, just piles of lumber, probably the remnants of the stuff they used to dress the ship. Note the wood is in at least three piles. Two in the foreground: stumps including roots, and logs/trunks (note the big orange "3" on the end of one of the logs). Behind them there is a pile of large splintered fragments, and possibly another of smaller branches.

 

[WarpFactorZ]

Just to repeat my theory they fix up the Vancouver ship enough to fly it to Dubai.

So Kirk and Scotty (and Boutella) fix a mangled wreck so that it can fly (at warp), direct it to a Federation outpost for some reason, then crash it and kill untold hundreds / thousands in the process.

Where's that Cumberbatch "Nope." gif when you need it?

No, they fix it and fly it to a different location on same planet, crashing near the city where Captain Elba has established a Federation outpost with the ship's survivors (perhaps forcing natives to adopt Federation principles, contrary to the Prime Directive). I don't know why they'd fix the ship and fly it, but plot will find a way. Maybe it was just quicker than walking?

Given the damage on the Vancouver saucer and how close the bridge dome is to the "new" rim: no they won't fix it and no they won't fly it to Elba-Ville...

Its more probable that these are two different ships.

If they are just making a short flight within atmosphere, it should be doable even with multiple saucer ruptures, just as long as the basic structure hangs together.

I don't think we have seen the rim of the Vancouver ship saucer.

This sounds like a really boring movie. I doubt Prime Directive violation is the basis of the plot, because that just won't draw in the crowds. Even if it is, there has to be something greater at stake than natives forced to wear every conceivable Starfleet outfit.

But again, crashing this ship into the outpost/city is going to kill lots of people. Why would Kirk do this? I don't think the Vancouver ship is going anywhere.

 

[Mudd]

No one cares about the goddamned Prime Directive.

 

[yenny]

This is what I think what happen, but not what the movie will say what happen.

The USS. Yorktown single handed held off a large Romulan fleet long enough for Earth and allied forces to arrive. In doing so, she crashes on the planet surface with the lost of 64 officer and crew.

The Planet I think the Yorktown was defending, I believe was Cheron, Not the Cheron that was feature in Let This Be Your Last Battlefield, But another Cheron that was a colony of Earth.

Cheron was not only a colony of Earth, she was also a strategic importance.

 

[Khan 2.0]

No one cares about the goddamned Prime Directive.

agreed, some of these theories sound like the most boring Trek movie since Insurrection. I really hope its not going to be Star Trek Avatar/Insurrection done right, or a big screen version of Prime Directive/Omega Glory

 

[Dukhat]

The USS. Yorktown single handed held off a large Romulan fleet long enough for Earth and allied forces to arrive. In doing so, she crashes on the planet surface with the lost of 64 officer and crew.

Considering that the last movie made quite clear that the Federation's most deadliest enemy are the Klingons, I'd guess that if the Yorktown was destroyed by any adversary, it would be them, not the Romulans.

It could be the Klingons? But still, the Yorktown was shot down some time ago and she took down the Klingons or who ever she was fighting down with her.
