Well when I saw the refit as a child I thought it was real! :rommie: I think mainly because the special effects were using models and not CGI. I guess the new movie is going back to that so it might win me over.

No, Star Trek uses CG-models (since ILM went all digital some time ago).

See above, ILM continues to employee Kerner Optical, their former modelshop guys, on most projects (including ST.)

Yes, I know. And that is great. :techman:
But wasn't it said that the ships in Star Trek will be all CG...?

ETA: I hope ILM does a better job with the blue/green-screens in this film than in the latest Indiana Jones-film...

I'd be astonished, given that this is a space battle flick. Then again, ILM thought they could do cg pyro and crashes w/o practical elements for the pod race in PHANTOM MENACE, so maybe they still think that way ... I hope not.
 
If there's a Dalek in this movie, I'm going postal in the theater and wipe out some muthas.:lol:
 
I still wish Ray Liotta had been offered and accepted the role of Pike. The man looks so much like Jeffrey Hunter it would give some Classic fans a double take.

Well I haven't seen the trailer (yet) but from looking at the new Enterprise, I reckon that it looks too solid and too "realistic" to be CGI.

TPM came out in 1999. STXI will come out in 2009. Ten years in computer years is quite some time. In any case, regardless of how they did these effects, they look fantastic.
