I never really cared for Star Trek. I always found it to be lame, too talky and unexciting. I am a Star Wars fan and also a fan of JJ Abrams’ Mission:Impossible III. This Star Trek trailer has definately peaked my interest. I’m very curious to see what Abrams has done to reboot this tiresome franchise. By the looks of things, I may become a new generation Trekkie.

Can’t wait, I just can’t freakin’ wait. It just looks awesome.

I didn’t know about the whole time traveling thing, so that just makes it even better. Being a Trek fan just might be a cool thing now.

There’s a tribble in the movie somewhere – that’s been confirmed. Look for it in a lab at Starfleet Medical or something, that’s what I say!

Jeff, apprarently the reason why Scotty’s picked up halfway through the film (as can be seen by his civilian clothing in the trailer) is because he’s been booted off starships for a transporter accident involving Porthos.

I hope that’s true, it’s a right laugh!

Awwww why not have one tribble as Kirks pet? After all this is a reboot/sequel/retelling/time paradox anyway. Star Trek without tribbles is like Lord of the Rings without scruffy looking beards.

If the Archer name-drop is true, I’m VERY happy that they’ve tied the Enterprise series into the movie. I’m a die hard Trek fan from the first season of TNG onwards and I thought that Enterprise perfectly captured what Star Trek should be (as a show, not the hidden messages about modern society and the “lifelessons”) and I’m happy to see it acknowledged in this movie, if the rumor is true.

Hope this is good. I hope it’s a reboot like BSG was rebooted. Cool and smart ideas with barely any references to the past other than the basic core ideas.

I am skeptical though not being a huge JJ Abrams fan. I never really got into Alias, Lost not interested (Tried with the first pilot but could not get into it) and Cloverfield was pretty cool but nothing special.

My only complaint is now Star Trek looks more Fantasy on par with Star Wars and Buck Rogers than Science Fiction. It’s kind of ironic that show like BSG moved from fantasy to becoming great science fiction with the way the ships moved,the way things worked, to being socially relevant to reflecting our times…this are things great science fiction do!

Star Trek seems to be moving more toward Fantasy, just based on the production designs. The phasers look like toys, the ship looks kind of preposterous with its ungainly design to the stupid police officer that addressed the young kirk in the teaser.

But I will admit this movie has action, based on what I’ve seen, which is something Trek needed…quite badly…and I love Trek. This movie does remind of the TOS, based purely on it’s action.

But I do wish Abrams took a look at Blade Runner, and Alien to look at brilliant production design or even some of James Cameron stuff. These guys incorporate great production combined with “wow the could really work” mentality with their movies.

So far Trek seems like a great action movie vs a great Sci Fi movie with great action.

I hope this good because if not this will definitely set Trek back years.

Because the actual trek fans dont support the shows anymore.

Its not too early. Its a reboot after they desperately clung to hopes of a new series failed.

There is too much history and the show just got tired. There was no new ground to cover.

Now its all fresh. And no tribbles.

Well im still at odds about the film. Everything Im seeing I cant help but think that the movie is more for non-trek fans . However, I still believe this film has come way to early. Its only been 2 years since Star Trek Enterprise was canned. Trek fans are here by the millions and still loving the 40 years of history the franchise made. The films didnt do well after Contact and the shows after DS9 were repeating old ground. I feel this film will do about the same business as the others cause its too early for a reboot.
