Have they had any test screenings out in LA (or anywhere else)? If yes, how have they gone? Anyone hear how the movie has tested?
Test Screenings?

Would they bother with test screenings for the public? In the internet age it'd be way too hard to control what information gets leaked.
^True, I may be behind the times. I know they still do test screenings for tv shows - maybe they don't do it anymore for movies because of the reasons you stated.
I'm sure that in the next month there will be a number of preview screenings, and we'll inevitably hear some storyline leaks out of those. Whether they would be considered "test screenings" is another matter, since the point of such is generally to enable the filmmakers to identify problems and make changes before the film is considered final. That might happen in this case, but is extremely unlikely. The movie's pretty much locked.
If the preview screenings were disastrous, one can imagine them cutting the movie substantially for time. That's not in the cards.
The movie has been completed and locked for 3 months now.
If they were to add or cut or test screen they would have done so. And we would more than likely have heard about it.
They wouldn't wait a month and a half before the premiere to do it.
But as others have said I'm sure that soon there will be screenings for the press, critics etc

When I was asked if I wanted to review anything else the first words were "Star Trek... May." so hopefully I'll be on the preview list. And I kept any excitement to a minimum
Since when have the suits had a clue about Star Trek? Their reaction to this thing means jack squat in my book.
On May 8th and for quite some time thereafter no one will be reading your book - we'll all be at the movies.
"The suits" of course, being ultimately responsible for the investment and go/no go on every bit of Trek you've ever seen on screen.

Hell of a blog, by the way. You can almost taste the tears that were shed whilst writing it.
Nothing to the tears of laughter that reading some of the political stuff evokes.

As to the OT, in the past it's been the case that a studio that doesn't have pre-screenings is nervous about the property.
Hey, don't you know that Paramount is supposed to be sending out screeners right now and that the press is supposed to be publishing reviews? It's apparently standard practice.
You may have forgotten temporarily that you weren't in TNZ, but that sort of thing won't fly here. Please don't do that again.

Dennis, I'd just as soon we didn't have politics raised here, even indirectly; the canon disputes pertaining to the movie get ugly enough, as it is. And if April would refrain from making pronouncements about what
...while prominently displaying a link to it in his signature, perhaps no one would be tempted to comment upon its contents. Who was out from under what bridge remains in question, it seems, but I don't wish to see any of it in here.
