By the way...
In the group shot...the really BIG version of it...
Did anyone notice Uhura has the Engineering "curly" symbol on her badge?
I could see what were likely stars on the guys with the gold shirts.
McCoy's wasn't at the right angle to see if it was the Vulcan symbol or not, but if we know we've got two out of three...
I'm going to be honest with you. When I'm examining Uhura in such a closeup, I'm not looking at the little spiral on her insignia.

Damn... Couldn't Kirk wear his wrap-around tunic...?
No need. This Kirk is actually in shape, and so doesn't need the extra room.Damn... Couldn't Kirk wear his wrap-around tunic...?
I love the look with the texture and everything. It don't seem distracting much to me but that's just my opinion though. 
What we can see, I like a lot. I would have liked it to be a little darker, maybe so the uniforms don't stand out quite as much, but to be honest, we've no idea whether this is the proper lighting for the film or not, and even if it is, it'll surely all look much different in motion. The yeoman desk looks kind of weird, but I think we're only focussing on it because its in the middle of that particular shot - I'd imagine it'll look considerably less important when you view the bridge in its totality.
One thing, people who don't like it keep saying it looks like Galaxy Quest - it doesn't, I watched Galaxy Quest two days ago, the Protector has a much simpler bridge, all greys and silvers. It looks very good actually, I'd have been happy with something similar, but this isn't it.

One possible reason for the Bridge look could be
Reminds me of Yesterdays Enterprise.
That the timeline is changed at the beginning of the Movie by the attack and possible destruction of the Kelvin. Starfleet might advance it's technology in some way to combat this ship of Neros due to those events. Or possibly if the Kelvin reported they were attacked by the Romulans it might have started a new War which would have changed how technology advanced.

Or, howabout this one..
They wont mention it in the slightest. Its a Big Damm Movie for Star Trek, biggest since TMPs hype INMO.
Its the bridge. Period.
Its a little different, looks advanced because it is. Its a 2008/09 movie. This is what we got, and its shiny.
Imagine starting a movie like this with those sets and ending it with the 60s sets...

I never said they'd mention it. Just pointing out that certain spoilers going around suggest that we might be seeing a
Warship Enterprise due to an altered timeline.
I didn't mention anything about the 60s sets. I also didn't mention that the timeline would be reset to reflect this.

Badge? What bad..oh, there it is. Sorry, was distracted.
Well, the EW article's sidebar states that "Yesterday's Enterprise" was one of the influences on the writers. I'm just sayin'. Hopefully, this is the bridge and not some altered timeline.
If this movie is to be an attempt to re-introduce/introduce Trek to a broader audience, then an altered timeline is too convoluted a plot device to shove into such an attempt. I would think that they would want the story, plot and character arcs to be as streamlined as possible. Not necessarily "dumbed down" but nice and tight, much like The Dark Knight, which was a complicated movie with a novelistic structure but really, really economical in its storytelling.
Re: The bridge shots
Yelchin and Pine have the same age difference as Koenig and Shatner. So I dont think thats a problem.
In your defense, Captain Mike, I didn't have too much trouble parsing this sentence. I just can't figure out what relevance it has to the discussion, nor even to the rest of your post. You've raised the non sequitur to an entirely new level, sir.
Thanks for the assist. I simply meant there was so much confusion and plotholes of how Khan couldn't remember Chekov in TWOK. But yet he is a crew member in the new flick? And he doesn't seem as young as he should be.

Re: The bridge shots
Shatner and Koenig are pretty close to the same age. Kirk and Chekov, however, are twelve years apart.

Re: The bridge shots
Shatner is five years older than Koenig. Pine is nine years older than Yelchin. So you're saying we're getting closer to the characters as written?

Just clarifyin'...

My God! That's it! After days and days and days I couldn't understand the vitriol. I couldn't understand how this movie will have such a profound personal impact on the faithful purists. They've already built their set and they cannot rebuild it like this!

Now, that backfired, didn't it.

Of course, James Cawley has built the most extensive recreation of the TOS Enterprise ever - and yet he's an enthusiastic supporter of the new movie.
Well I have no doubt this is what they are doing. This is how they make this movie a prequel but also a reboot and in someway satisfy fans and appeal to a new audience. If you ever read that first early report on AICN that was pulled you'd see what I mean.
Re: The bridge shots
When someone from the movie says "IT'S THE BRIDGE OF THE ENTERPRISE" Speculation stops THERE!!!!...
As for the insignia, that's an engineering and services insignia from TOS. Command has a seperate one and so does Science.
For the last time. It was stated in an interview that THIS IS THE BRIDGE OF THE ENTERPRISE.......... Which means.. IT'S THE BRIDE OF THE ENTERPRISE.
