That is actually the Phase II enterprise on the pre release motion picture poster, and not the model they actually used for the refit 1701 in the movie.
This model or design had never been used in until New Voyages fan film series, now called Phase II used the design for their refit enterpise which unfortunetely being a fan film series is shot on video and not on film and the spaceships are all cgi, kinda like this JJ movie only a lot lower budget.
I cant wait to see the motion picture theatrical version hit home video in high definition for the 30th anniversary of the motion picture. A much better way to celebrate than this overwrought cgi farce coming in may.
I actually looking forward to FanFiltrations extended motion picture of star trek in widecreen way more than this new movie.
I feel bad for Trek fans. They finally know what it feels like for fans of star wars, Indiana Jones to watch their fave series go down in flames for the highest profit and lowest common demonminator.
Then again is there a single film or television series that has been revisited or remade other than batman or bond that has not been completed destroyed.
Alien franchise ruined by alien vs predator movie and its sequel as if part III and Iv were not bad enough. Terminator III put the terminator franchise in the toilet. Bay and Spielberg destroyed transformers, spielberg and lucas destroyed indiana jones. and Lucas himself destroyed star wars. Ronald Moore and Brannon Bragga destroyed star trek, and abrams is only burying it further.
