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."

  1. XviD trailer please? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I fucking hate Apple and their bastard offspring called Quicktime, fucking proprietry shite that won't play easily on Windows machines.

    I once installed iTunes on my laptop to get an iPod nano configured so I could use 3rd party software (the piece of shit iPod died a month later anyway, I stick to my iRivers), but the installer insisted on installing Quickshite. Upon uninstalling iTunes & Quickshite it killed the wifi drivers, I had to reinstall the drivers TWICE before to get the wifi working again. Fuck apple.

    Could someone convert+distribute the trailer to XviD/mp3 avi format please?

      Wow, you must really be inept. Quicktime sucks, but it doesn't suck as much as you do at maintaining computers. Maybe you should seek a career as a short order cook.

  2. The writers of... LOST? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    What?

    The next star trek film is going to be written by some of the very worst writers the TV industry has ever seen? Does this mean we should expect a dumb plot that makes no sense, and ridiculous dialogue?

    Oh boy.

    complete cheese-fest

    [as opposed to] Firefly/Serenity

    !? Huh? I couldn't even make it through the first episode of Firefly because the "space western" theme was so god damned cheesy it made me gag. I wouldn't exactly hold that up as an example of high-quality sci-fi these days. BSG, yes. I love BSG and am tormented by the wait for more episodes. That's high-quality sci-fi, and if the new Trek can live up to that, I'd be ecstatic.

    Apart from that though, yes, Trek hasn't been as good as it ever has been lately, but honestly, I'd still take everything up through and including Voyager (for the series) or Insurrection (for the movies) over a mindless action flick.

    I have to say, I did not think a worse SF show could be made than the original BSG, however the new series is awful, I watched the whole lot on DVD frankly, its more fun watching a car rust.

    BSG2 is just same old same old war movles in space.
