I can't decide. Kirk is pretty good, but I'm not quite buying Spock... great intro to Kirk though!

I think Spock has the right look, but how can you replicate Leonard Nimoy's iconic voice without a goofy overdub?

True. I gotta say though, at first I thought the boy-Kirk was a girl!

People said I looked like a girl when I was that age (cruel bastards). But now I am every bit as impressive as Captain Kirk, don't you think?

EDIT: I think i'll probably willfully ignore this film, just so they can't make Startrek any worse in my head...I mean what the heck? Aren'T there any other topics in the whole Startrek-verse than Prequels and Sequels?? They could have come up with so many different things (just one idea: Civilians in that 'verse. You know, kind of Firefly in Starttrek)), why, oh why do they have to make stupid prequels all over?

Normally, that's my reaction. Prequels and sequels are just a big money making machine, usually, and nothing else. But I really like J.J. Abrams. He's the guy who created "Lost" (which I am obsessed with) and "Cloverfield" which I thought was really inventive. I think that for him, this is a labor of love not a marketing ploy, so I have hope. But sometimes that doesn't matter once the studios sink their fangs into it. Time will tell.

How profoundly you, NoID10ts. Who's that shady guy in the background? Has he lost something?
I'd watch the trailer but I have no patience for my super-slow connection. Can someone summarise the plot?
FusionKnight

Kirk hits some people, tears off his shirt and get's the girl. McCoy is coy and grumpy, and pronounces someone dead. Spock has a personality crisis and mistakenly tries to kill Kirk. Scotty stops a core breach at the last possible second, and get's accused of murdering some blue-skinned trollop. Klingons show up and yell a lot. Then the Romulans show up and shoot the Klingons. Then Kirk get's pissed at everybody and blows them all to kingdom come. Chekov sits around looking innocent, Sulu stands around looking mysterious, and Uhura sings a song.

Well in summary, all your favorite Star Trek characters are shown briefly in scenes where they are holding this bizarre, phallic shaped rock, but as the trailers always do, they cut away before you actually see what's happening. There is also some funky 70's music playing in the background, for some reason, and at the end there is a shocking scene where Kirk and Spock are kissing, toungues and all, with Kirk fondling Spocks ears! It's quite the display. There is also a strange scene of an extreme close up view of a Klingons forehead, at least, that's what I think it is. I don't know what to make of it.
I'm very curious now, this trailer has really piqued my curiosity.
I'm also wondering why they chaged the famous catch phrase to "Coming where no man has come before."
Exciting stuff, should be a record breaker.
Edit: Now, I'm not sure Fusion saw the same trailer as me.

This got me curious so I decided to blow up this shady character to get a better look. I'm not sure but is that who I think it is?

I agree. I have to drag mine behind me coiled up in one of those little red Radio Flyer wagons. I get funny looks, but what the hell am I supposed to do?

What the hell was going on, on the set of Star Trek? I guess I didn't notice all the subliminal Pness when I was a kid. I'm starting to feel disillusioned here.

you and your damn INTPnesses are ruining my teenage memories of Star Trek. Stop it.
The trailier looks promising. One thing is for sure, being that it's about a young Captin Kirk, there should be plenty of skirt chasing in the movie. I suppose it should be enough to keep you gentlemen interested even if the movie sucks.

With these pictures that keep surfacing, I'm starting to think there isn't going to be much skirt chasing unless Spock is wearing the skirt.

Sorry. I was always more of a Star Wars man (there is nothing phallic about lightsabers). The new film really does look good to me though.

Come on, Star Wars? Fantasy in Space. Somehow a primitive backwoods culture figured out how to use starships...So you might find this good, but it fills another slot, not the "Scifi-holyness"-slot. (I find it good actually in only one aspect: Lightsaber fights. 
).
But you mustn't scrutunize Startrek 'cause that will only ruin it for you over unimportant details. (The same with Stargate). That's why i avoid fanboards, fan forums of these as hell. There are too muhc people on these which start nitpicking every little detail and logic-fail, plot-hole. I guess that's a conflict between N-types and S-types. For me it's about characters, general plot, general atmosphere/story/world. For them it is about finding every stupid little unimportant detail to nitpick. Really, it's horrible. (For example the new Startgate Atlantis episode last week. Someone is in a tranporter (elevator, sort of) and hallucinates a woman. Now, on screen you see the woman press the buttin of the elevator. Which of course is impossible, because she is just a hallucination. Obviously the original/real person pressed the button himself and only hallucinated that she did it. Nothing important, really. But you know what? In fanboards, they fill PAGES discussing about these little details.

P.S.: Uhm, somehow this got more serious and shoutclub-worthy than i thought it would...

Ogion,you say that Star Trek is not a religion, have you seen the Star Trek episode of "Futureama"? It explains quite a lot.
Ogion
Paladin of Patience
No, actually i never watched any Futurama (as i haven'T the Simpsons).
Am i saying Startrek is not a religion? I don't know. I guess i am saying that overly criticizing and scrutinizing it ruins the fun of it. Are these contradictory statements?

Sorry Ogion, I am just being silly about the Star Trek religion thing. I like to poke fun at this.
People get way way way to involved in Sci FI. I have seen a little about what you are talking about (over scrutinizing) and I think that those people need to get out and get a life. Sci fi is neither a religion nor is it real, it is just stuff made up in Hollywood (and other places) and theirfore should be treated as such.
Shit, now I have made this thread unfunny. Noidiots wher are you? we need your help!

Oh, you certainly have your points.
It treat it (Scifi), though loving it, not as religion, or as main purpose of my life, but as a fun to think about and it has (good scifi) some interesting things to say about our reality, our society(ies). But what these people are doing (for an example of this overscrutinising here and look into a random thread), i don't know, i find it really stupid. You know, some people may say that i have little 'real life' as well, as in little 'social life', and i enjoy occupying myself with imagination (like in Scifi, Fantasy or whatnot), but even though i am nowhere near their level of involvement. I think they have way too much time on their hands. For me there are so many interesting things to do, to learn, that i wouldn'T waste so much time going so deep into one thing (like arguing wether or not whatever little detail is this or that way, see my example of hallucination and elevator).
But i don't think it is limited to Scifi. This happens with most things people tend to get fans of (fans as in fanatics, really). Perhaps people need some thing to involve themselves so much with, and some choose some TV show for it?
I see no problem with the discussion getting into a more serious one, but that's up to you (or others who wanna join or end this)

Lightsabers trump phasers any day of the week. They are the very embodiment of the INTPness. And Han Solo could kick Captain Kirk's ass.
I still like Star trek. But Star Wars is my religion.

K. in Shakespheres time didn't they say that a good play should have "a little love and a bit with a dog" or something like that. Now it's T&A (tits and---) a car chase and an explosion or two. Who needs a plot when the former brings in the money (I'm being sarcastic)?

I dunno.
