I must admit that my expectations for the new Star Trek movie are prety low but these pictures have raised them slightly.

It appears to be a copy of the Constitution-class Enterpise (the refit version I think) with a design that reminds me of the NX-01 Enterprise.
(if that makes any sense)

I like it too.

Now we'll have to wait to see how good the movie may be.

I guess I'm old school, but there has never been a better looking Constitution-Class starship than the TOS variety. I don't see any need to "jazz it up". I wasn't a fan of the Enterprise series, but they did it right when the alternate universe crew finds the missing U.S.S. Defiant from the future from the TOS Tholian Web episode. It was great to see the "old school" ship in battle. I think they should have gone the authentic route...

I agree with MoveAlong that I don't think they should have changed in. In the first couple of pictures, it just looked like a higher-detailed model than had been used before, which was cool. But in the last couple of pictures, it looks like several details have been changed, and I just don't know if I'm on board with that. I mean, this is supposed to be THE NCC-1701, right, not a prototype or some other earlier ship, right?

I am not too confident in this "reboot" of the franchise. I'm pretty certain that Gene Roddenberry would not be supportive of this. I will aknowledge that I may have to take that statement back at later time, but I can't help but feel that way right now.

I'm really amped up for this. I think it could be really good; I love the original series but I'm not afraid of them "screwing up the legacy" because no matter how bad it is the ST legacy is already totally fucked. So we can only go up.

The new design is cool. I don't think its feasible to emulate exactly the look of the TOS ship because it would look like a cheap model the way the original design did. I'll admit this design is more on the sleek side than I'd like--I loved that the enterpise was basically a simple nuts-and-bolts submarine in space--but its the best ship design I've seen in the series since Undiscovered Country.

And that trailer kicks serious ass. How funny would it be if Star Trek made an awesome prequel??

Which ship design in Undiscovered Country did you like? Come to think of it, were there any new ship designs in that movie besides Kronos One?

I guess there wasn't anything "new", but the models for Excelsior and Enterprise in STVI was really the last time I remember there being good looking ships onscreen.

I agree with Zombie about Star Trek having to place to go but up. The series has really been drug through the dirt, even if this one stinks it can't be any worse than if they had continued the TNG era movies. At first I didn't like the idea of other actors playing the parts of the original TOS crew, and the idea of it being a prequel seemed even worse. But I have liked J. J.s stuff in the past, I think his style mixed with ST might be really interesting. As for the difference in the Enterprise design, I don't think that is such a bad thing. I like the old series as much as the next guy, but it is a pretty old series, I would have never expected them to render of 3D model of the old Enterprise and call it good. There are already plenty of continuity problems between the various Treks, making the ship a little more up to modern standards is pretty minor all in all. This is suppose to be more of a reboot than a prequel isn't it? Over the last few years everybody has been rebooting everything, and most of the time it is a huge success. Look at what it did for Batman and James Bond. Sometimes you can only take something so far before there is nowhere else to go. We have had five television series, six if you count the animated series, and ten movies. That is a lot of hours of Star Trek. If they want to keep milking this poor old cow the best they can do is take its DNA, make a clone of it, and start the process all over again. Whether Roddenberry would have approved of it or not, it is probably the best decision as far as ticket sales and potential sequels are concerned.

Really, now? I'd always read that it was not supposed to be a reboot at all and fit into the continuity already established. If it was a reboot, I wouldn't mind this modified Enterprise at all. But since I was under the impression it was supposed to be compatible with the original, it does kinda bug me, although I do admit it looks cool.

By the way, I just saw the trailer, and it looks really awesome. But who is doing the narrating of "Space, the final frontier"? It sounds very familiar to me, but I can't place it.

That'd be Leonard Nimoy, sir.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

I could be 100% off on the reboot idea. I have wasted pretty much no time at all reading about this movie. I thought I had heard that it would be a reboot, and it would make sense for it to be a reboot. I mean, we have Simon Pegg playing the role of Montgomery Scott, not sure how compatible that is with the original series. But I probably was mistaken about the reboot thing. I guess it is a straight up prequel.

EDIT:

Just looked it up and it seems Abrams, Lindeloff and co. prefer the term "re-vitalization", which sound suspiciously like a politically correct way of saying "reboot" so as to not stir up the droves of dedicated Trekkies out there.

Is it really? As in, his narration of it at the end of Khan? I mean, the thought had crossed my mind, but I had dismissed it for some reason. I guess I'll have to go back and check it out and figure out why I decided it wasn't Nimoy.

Its definitly Nimoy. I thought you were being sarcastic when you said you didn't know who it was. But if its the same as STII I'm not sure; to me he sounded much older than I remember, I thought maybe it was something newly recorded--Nimoy is in the new film after all.

Heh, I wish I could go back and say I was being sarcastic. Instead, I'm just a sad little guy who didn't recognize Leonard Nimoy. My girlfriend, who loves Leonard Nimoy, would probably kill me if she knew.

Although I love Star Trek I don't like the Enterprise ship designs. It looks so fragile with the engines placed on sticks coming out of the central body. It looks as if hey could snap off at any time. The Defiant (the one from DS9) and Voyager looked much better in my eyes, more solid and streamlined.

Looks like they're adhering quite closely to Jefferies' original design. The nacelles are even oval-shaped again. From whence did you acquire there pictures?

I reminds me MUCH more of the original design than the refit version, which I think is the intention. And I think that ILM are back this time around.

Again, I think Abrahams should have gone with the original design. I mean they even have all the new CG designs done from the SE versions of TOS. That old ship looks really good in the updated episodes... very detailed and tasteful. I know, I'm just an old timer....

Google. I did a search under Enterprise & Star Trek 2008.

I always preferred the Enterprise design from the first 3 movies.

This design looks pretty good. I look forward to seeing the bridge.
deleted, I think I went too far.

If you're talking about the design of the exterior, technically you could say the first six movies since Enterprise-A's exterior was identical to the refit Enterprise. But I agree with you. I've always been a fan of the refit version... although its introduction in The Motion Picture didn't have to be so damned long...
