The final decision on the movie's reference title...

"The Future Begins" is a tagline, not the title. "XI" it is. Alternatively, in a nod to the new/parallel universe, ST' could work, though that's complicated by calling the original Spock "Spock Prime".

Wouldn't that make this ST, and TOS ST'? :)
Well, in math, the secondary point/line/whatever takes the prime (') designation. So Old Spock should be plain Spock, and every other character in this film should be prime, and the universe should be prime. Thus TOS=ST, and Trek XI=ST'. :techman:
 
Let's see, we have:

ST:TMP
ST:TWOK
ST:TSFS
ST:TVH
ST:TFF
ST:TUC
ST:GEN
ST:FC
ST:INS
ST:NEM

So maybe:

ST, ST:STAR or ST:STR
It could be shortened to 'STR' when we're talking about the movies.

I like this idea. It's exciting!:rommie:
But ST11 implies it's a follow-up to NEMESIS--which completely misrepresents the whole reboot agenda of the new movie. And more distance we put between this film and the old sequence, the better!
Sector 7 said:

Technically, that's correct. But conceptually the whole raison d'etre for this movie is to make a break from the previous sequence. Treating it like just another sequel misses the point.

The premise of a "reboot" depends on the audience willing to ignore or forget what was in the previous incarnation,
They did. Most of the people seeing ST09 were already ignoring what was in the previous incarnation.
What about Star Trek Lite?
Star Trek Right is closer to the truth!:techman:
 
We are a strange lot. All this ado over something the rest of the world wrote off as Star Trek XI five minutes after it was first announced. A system that has worked well enough for the last four number deprived movies and looks to continue into the next one. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations indeed.
