Imagine sitting in theater and getting thrust straight into an intense battle without explanation. We see a Constellation class starship getting pummeled mercilessly by 3 Klingon battle cruisers. We all immediately recognize what’s happening, but we don’t KNOW what’s happening. We’re introduced to the face of young Kirk in the midst of an exciting crisis. The bridge is burning. Stations reporting depleted weapons, failed systems and casualties all over the ship. Someone makes it clear that we’re seeing for the first time a young James Kirk struggling with what seems to be a completely lost situation. WTF?! Then something happens that shouldn’t, something that may or may not make sense, may or may not be obviously convenient that suddenly inexplicably gives our heroes an edge and a new hope. Kirk happily, knowingly, smugly exploits it and triumphantly deals the unsuspecting Klingons their explosive, fiery fate. (Use your imagination!) Afterward it’s revealed and everyone that knows the Kobiyashi Maru element from Khan will realize that they just watched that famous ‘last test’ that we’ve only been TOLD about years ago. The scene is suppose to be like the beginning of Khan (only MUCH better made) but we don’t know that until afterward. This is an opportunity to show us what happened and make it a lot of fun revealing it. It would be an intense, ass-kicking way to open the movie.

@ Randy S:

If they don’t do this right at the beginning of the movie they will be throwing away a golden opportunity for a stellar mind-blowing, attention-grabbing start to the movie.

If they did have such a scene, which isn't needed, if they did it 'right', Randy, then all it still would be is how Kirk beat a training simulation after facing the Kobiyashi Maru no-win situation several times and losing. Why isn't it needed? It was the opening for Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan and it was discussed well in that outstanding sequel.

This movie desperately needs to open straight into a full-on state of the art CG battle with young Kirk and crew getting blasted into submission by three Klingon battle cruisers, then to have Kirk turn the tables against all odds and fly away leaving the Klingons in flames. How did Kirk manage to save the day? Because HE CHEATED. If they don’t do this right at the beginning of the movie they will be throwing away a golden opportunity for a stellar mind-blowing, attention-grabbing start to the movie. Will they? Anyone wanna bet on it?

I hope this stalled release bodes well for Trek. I’m not a fan of Abrams and the leaks that have taken place haven’t pushed me any closer to being a new fan. The whole time plot issue again! How many Treks can we see with time as the main plot line? Kirk being a womanizer instead of a Star Fleet hotshot…couldn’t he be both?

I love reboots (Look at BSG, Nolan’s Batman) when they are done right but…I don’t know, this whole move the date things leaves me rather suspicious. And it doesn’t help that I am not a huge fan of Abrams…

Please god let this movie be good…if not the Trek franchise can officially be called dead…at least for the next decade or more.

The Writer’s Strike may in fact be the main factor. With production slowed/stopped for the last 3 months perhaps they found themselves without a tent pole film that would be ready for release in Summer 2009. Sci-Fi/Action Adventure films have far more potential for profit in Summer. If they were lacking a project for that release period it makes perfect sense to move the date.
