I wouldn't doubt if it was different. Something that is apparent in the design aesthetic of this movie is that things aren't entirely unified. The exterior of the ship follows this, and I suspect the interior might as well. There really isn't consistency, and although consistency isn't mandatory for design, it is almost always good.
What about bloody engineering?
- Thread starter Brent
- Start date
It seems like one of the producers mentioned in an article a few months back, that engineering was going to look more like the reactor room of a submarine, all be it, not as cramped.
There was also a mention that we'll be seeing Engineering of the Kelvin. I'm wondering if that will be just a redress of the Enterprise's engineering, or a totally different "industrial location".
I'm also wondering if there is going to be some representation of a warp core, even though that design "standard" was established after TOS, there was a directive from Abrams to mix in elements of the TMP design into the movie.

Ha ha ha!!!
Nothing funnier than people picking over photos that aren't actually of anything from the Trek movie, and extrapolating to sweeping conclusions about what the engineering sections will actually look like in the movie...
Like others have already posted, these stills are from another series altogether...
Jumping to conclusions...
Well, since that location was used in the new film as Engineering, I'd say that the photo's being from something else is a moot point.
Nobody's jumping to conclusions. Simply asking how others feel about what we HAVE already seen.
Ah! So there IS hope! Excellent.

That's the problem, though. To the best of my knowledge, we've seen nothing at all of Engineering yet. Zip. Zero. Zilch.
Kind of hard to give an impression based on a couple of stills from a 25-year-old miniseries which don't even necessarily reflect the actual appearance of the location, much less the Engineering set of this year's Star Trek movie. Have you seen something the rest of us haven't?
Scotty figures it's a good place to store his Saurian brandy too after he's appointed chief engineer
^^^ I agree completely! Thus far, we haven't seen any shots of the actual enterprise engineering section - just some slightly related images - but no actual Trek XI ones. Therefore - in the absence of any of any actual film shots, I find it interesting that some people are expressing their concern about the coming movie based upon... what evidence?
It just seems like some are predisposed to expressing worry based on non Trek XI movie images/stills.
Until we actually have some shots, its still speculation. I can't see why having a positive or negative opinion about the 1701's engineering - thus far - can be formed, based on what has been seen.
I do like the look of a more industrialized Engineering. I believe that Abrams, Orci, or some such person said that the further down into the ship you go, the more industrialized it looks. The bridge is the nicest part of the ship. It's all downhill from there, in terms of how "nice" things look.
I think that's wonderfully realistic.

I didn't even think about it until I walked by it yesterday. This would have made a great engineering warp-core/reactor for the new movie, and would have fit into the industrial asthetic Abrams is going for.

To me, much more realistic that using a brewery.
Speaking of all of this, has there been any info/pictures of the new engineering yet?

No, absolutely nothing. No pictures and no video.
Well...

Might just be the corridors of the ship. It's almost certainly not sick bay and we know it's not the bridge.
Maybe it's the bowling alley.
I'm not concerned with what is done to the new engineering section. Although I enjoy the sets that have been made in previous Trek productions, the engine room is one location that's so speculative in its contained technobabble that there's no reason why the room must or must not have a particular appearance.
From an interview with Faran Tahir (Capt. Robau), this is where the Kelvin's engineering was filmed.
Also, I was wondering if there is enough reaction to the new Ent. Engineering (negative), could the producers make changes/updates in the future films?
From what I've seen so far, this is the only set I'm somewhat disappointed in.
Wow...where is this from ?
I kind of like it.
I kind of like it.
Wow, I like that. It looks like some actual work can take place in there.
So, Main Engineering has a brick floor? Or, I'm sorry, is that wood? 
Engineering was shot, BTW, at the Amheuser Busch brewery in Van Nuys.

Not to mention the window where the pipes go outside.
