The snow monsters look like crap!

I thought they were very convincing as alien creatures... They looked better than the dogs in makeup in ST6.

Let's get a dose of reality here...ST has never, ever, ever had any movie animals (monsters if you will) that have ever looked like this. Its Trek film making on a new level.

The music is strangely TOS action-scene reminiscent, minus some of the blatant bombast.
Thanks for the clip!
I dunno, the first one looks kinda blaa to me, kinda like everything else out there, you know? I'm not wowed.
The second one, the big one, is really weird looking, and I like that. Coloring aside it is one of coolest starwars-style monsters I've seen in awhile. And you know what, I really don't have a problem with over-the -top creatures in star trek. Everyone is always talking about tydierian bats and devevian slime devils and whatever, so why not, lets see one!

That they don't overtake and eat James Kirk in about .3 seconds, for one thing.
They look great and move completely believably, but the behavior of the anus-mouth in particular doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Why would it throw away the big furry indigenous critter to chase after an itty-bitty oddity like a human being, for starts? Unless it's had bad experience with Scotty coming around and pissing in its cornflakes or something and it's just personal now.
Wow "anus mouth"? What does yours look like???? Looked more like a Wayne Barlowe creation to me.

Perhaps a beeping tricorder? Or maybe he smelt of Gagh!

You just wait for the deleted scene called "Enter The Snotty Tar Man". You'll see.
I do like both creatures but I actually prefer the first one. We have not had a history of cool looking creatures in Star Trek so it is enjoyable to see Trek get some interesting looking creatures.
Oh yes indeed. I really hope one day that we can see what an actual 100-limbed Kelvan really does look like. Then that would retroactively make Worf's hand-to-hand victory all the more impressive.
Well, I do think this is perfectly in the tradition of Trek, I mean we had a number of 'monsters' on TOS, and even in the modern shows we had some, for example the creature Picard and Dathon fought in Darmok, the dinosaur/dragon in VOY's Basics and a brief scene of Archer & T'Pol being chased by a carnivorous Sehlat in The Forge.
But I agree that this is on a different level.
Yep, I was agreeing with everyone, meaning we've come a long wayfrom dogs in makeup, in ST:VI and whatever that thing was on the bridge of the Klingon ship in ST:III.I thought they were very convincing as alien creatures... They looked better than the dogs in makeup in ST6.

I agree that these creatures do fit in with Star Trek. I guess we have never seen the creatures done with this quality before.
Quite right! A day without Snotty Tar Men is a day without sunshine. Or something.
