I went with the Disco Enterprise bridge, but it's really a tie between that and the Kelvin timeline bridge. The Kelvin timeline bridge, to me, represented a modern-futuristic take on what a bridge of a starship would look like. But the Disco Enterprise Bridge kept the original designer's intent with just enough modern aspects to make it work - really enjoyed it.
 
TFF and TUC are two totally different looking Bridges made from the same set redressed and not just different lighting.

Thanks for sharing! What makes these layouts confusing is the different perspective.

But still - the only substantial change is that they swapped the position of each door with the first working station. But they are exactly the same set pieces, only these two elements re-arranged.

The only other difference is a new paint scheme (including reds, and a darker grey), and of course the lightning.
But it's still the exact same set.

Whereas the Beyond-bridge is a completely newly built set, from scratch in another country, with much more substantial differences (though a closer match in lightning and "feel")

Same here.
 
I really admire all you guys' dedication and attention to detail.
It's impressive and mind boggling.
I haven't seen many of the Movies for ages, so from memory, my favourite Bridge set ups are :
TOS
The re-creation of the TOS Bridge in Enterprise
The re-creation of the TOS Bridge in DS9
The redesign of the TOS Bridge in Discovery
The Kelvin stuff is just shit, and I don't even count it in my thinking
 
The original TOS set.
Reality Check. A Trek fan film, very high quality.
Relics.
TWoK. But not TMP owing to the lighting and coloring.
Such Sweet Sorrow, pt two. Which I saw for free on YouTube.

(hopefully legally)
 
Really, TOS is the best. But I liked the bridge in TMP, and feel the set just got progressively worse as the films went on, though TUC was a slight improvement. While a big supporter of the JJ films 1&3, I can't say the bridge made much of an impression. I'm not offended by it, and find the "Mac store" criticism silly, but I just didn't find it memorable.

DSC was an easy win for me, as it is a nice blend of the movie versions and the TOS bridge. I hope we see more of it.
