I just finished reading the Art of the Kelvin timeline and i’m not the biggest fan of those. I do think Ryan Church’s production painting of the USS Enterprise is not that far off from Jefferies design. Too bad they did the one in the film instead. With all those silly hot-rodded designs and ugly bussards that look like Jet engines.

Despite those criticisms the book is short and sparse but what is there does give me more appreciation for the art and costume design. For movies I sort of enjoyed the first two but they weren’t Star Trek.

But its closer to a love/hate relationship I have with few films that I hate and love equally.
