New Star Trek Trailer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the please-jj-don't-hurt-em dept.

roelbj writes "The full trailer to the next Star Trek movie is now available at the movie's official web site. The upcoming J.J. Abrams-helmed installment represents a changing of the guard, a reboot of the franchise, and a return to the original-series crew. It should prove interesting to see how Abrams' writing staff (Cloverfield, Lost, Alias) tackles the Star Trek universe and all the continuity and baggage that comes with it."

    works nicely with VLC under linux too (that is with native linux opensource codecs as FFMPEG. No evil closed source QuickTime DLLs required).

    mplayer also does a nice trick impersonating a quicktime plugin.

  2. Something wrong with the movie by prakslash · · Score: 4, Informative

    So, there is something wrong with the movie, I think.

    In the trailer, we see Kirk racing his motorbike and seeing the Enterprise being built.

    Wasn't it built in Earth orbit, you ask?

    Well, I think they got *that* part right. According to the Original Series Dedication Plaque, the Constitution Class Enterprise was constructed at San Francisco Fleet Yards on Earth and in Earth orbit. According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, the orbital facility and starbase featured in ST: TMP was San Francisco Fleet Yards. According to the novelization of ST: A Flag Full of Stars, the San Francisco Fleet Yards also had facilities on Earth.

    So, if Kirk was racing his bike in the San Francisco area, he *could* have seen the enterprise being built.

    But.. I say, he still couldn't have!!

    You see, Enterprise was built and launched in 2245
    Kirk was born in 2233.

    He would have been only 12 years old at the time they show him racing his bike and seeing the enterprise being built.

    Good News Everybody! This will very soon cease to be the case.

    HTML 5 specifies a <video> element. Firefox 3.1 will support this, with the Ogg Theora codec included out of the box.

    Nothing to do, just use Firefox and "it just works(tm)".
