Star Trek Nemesis Preview Online

Posted by michael on from the to-boldly-view-what-no-man-has-viewed-before dept.

T-Kir writes "Originally from a news link at Trekweb, iFilm has a preview of Star Trek Nemesis in WMP, Real and Quicktime formats, it is also recommended you view with a broadband connection. [ed. snip] All in all a nice piece of eye candy until the films release on December 13th." This is a long trailer with lots of spoilers - you've been warned.

    I'm surprised that I haven't seen more (any really) previews on television for Nemesis. Maybe I just haven't caught them but I usually catch at least one television preview for any given big-budget movie during it's marketing time. The only advertisements for Nemesis that I've seen have been posters in theaters when I'm out seeing some other movie. Am I the only one who thinks that this film may suffer from a poor marketing campaign? Heck, I didn't even know when this film was slated to come out until this ./ story!

    I'll field the first question, but really, I get the feeling you're just being trite.

    So:

    > How does the preview of a movie rate a /. story? Hey, I'm gonna post the Apple quicktime area as a "story."

    It answers this in the header: "News for nerds." Last I heard, the jocks were still leaving most of the seats in any given theatre showing a Star Trek movie empty, thoughtfully leaving them for the nerds.

    Only the biggest trekkies will be at this release.
    Wil Wheaton was cut. I read that Patrick Stewart almost walked because the studio was trying to lowball him on pay. I'm not as excited about this movie as I could be.
    Planning on releasing the movie right inbetween the newest bond and the two towers (that preorder tickets go on sale tomorrow, btw).
    How's a ST movie supposed to compete with Halle Berry? :P
    It just seems like they shoulda tried to release it before "Die Another Day" to get higher opening day ticket sales, instead of battling the other two movies for income.
    True, but I dont think Patrick Stewart cares - his X-Men 2 movie is coming out soon.. so he should be swimming in (very much deserved) money either way.

  4. Criticizing the plot.. by ProtonMotiveForce · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Criticizing the plot of a Star Trek movie is like going out and buying a "Fat Chicks with Huge Jugs" magazine and complaining about the lack of literary value.

    It's a Star Trek movie. Of course it's going to be mindless action and sci-fi. Duh. Doesn't mean it's not worth seeing (though it may well not be :).

    For those that don't already know... this movie is rumored to be the starting point for a new series ("Fall of the Federation") to star Riker, Troi, etc (no Picard or Data)... Read about it here...which would explain the comment Picard makes in one of trailers...
