And ta think...if you didn't mention my name---I wouldn't have
even posted that rant

...and whatever you write in response to me previous post, Hue...

I DISAGREE.

You totally misjudged me on this one Hector in thinking I have to urge to lash
back challengingly in response to your opinion, which (if anything) resembles
my own more than it doesn't.

Firstly, Trek doesn't mean that much to me in the first place to care about
the bulk of anything in a Trek movie...

Even if it DID...

Secondly, things like "the look of the bridge" mean tremendously little to me
in the scheme of approving of...or liking the new movie...honestly...at the
risk of insulting others here---I think it's absolutely foolish to think otherwise..

Even though I think the bridge looks stupid (even I could
have designed it better) A movie...is but a movie.

I want to enjoy a good movie----and although "good" has many different definitions...one aspect of my opinion can be understood clearly...
And that is:
I do NOT get caught up in the semantics of nostalgia in trying to enjoy MY definition of a good movie. (nor do I get caught up in scene dressing...
special FX...etc.)

Mix it up slice it up dice it up and spit it out for all I care...from Superman
to Star Wars---and back again---

If I like it---I like it---and that's that.

This is not about resembling the original show...it's based on the original but with an all modern look to it...to at least mimic realistic existing (or soon to be) technology.

If you have those cardboard cutouts and blinking plastic buttons from the original series, modern audiences are going to be laughing their butts off...the bridge would look ridiculous, lol.

I'm not stuck in nostalgia and the 60s...I'm so glad the filmmakers are taking this route.

I for one...love that Apple Store look of the bridge.

That's my first glance of THE BRIDGE---you know me---
I don't pass judgement til the end credits---but it iS a bummer
that the bridge doesn't really resemble the original one at all.
It looks too feminine angularly (lotsa curves), too bright and sterile as
opposed to what I was expecting.

I wish they would have just gone with the original ship designs, with just a slight tweaking. It's impossible for me to get nostalgic with a bunch of different people in different ships with the same names. When Relics aired, I thought the bridge from the original series held up just fine. This new thing is just another space movie to me - I'm not feeling the connection at all. I would have been more willing to give the new group a chance if everything else had stayed true to the original.

I felt this way at first too. Now...I kinda hope they do go nuts with the designs. As I mentioned before, I dont see this as an actual link to the original Trek, but as something else. .....I'm starting to see CTC's point about doing something else in the same era. At the same time I agree with Bat, I want more Kirk and the gang stories. If I cant get them from the original cast, I hope these kids can pull it off, and help satiate that want.

I'm going to give it a chance.

But if Vulcans have no emotions why is Spock choking Kirk? He looks angry, which is an emotion as I recall.

Pon Farr is every 7 years . . .and this might be 7 years before Amok Time? He tried to kill Kirk then too!

Also Spoc was exploring his human side with emotions in his time of the Enterprise with Captain Pike, as in the original Pilot the Cage and rehashed in the Menagerie. If this is a pre-quel to the TV series 5 year mission. . . then the emotions fit right in.

at heart, Abrams is still more of a Star Wars guy. ''All my smart friends liked Star Trek,'' he says. ''I preferred a more visceral experience.''

Several years ago, Abrams wrote a Superman script that radically revised the entire Man of Steel 
 mythology. ''It was not well received by the Internet community,

Abrams made his perspective clear: ''We weren't making a movie for fans of Star Trek,'' he said. ''We were making a movie for fans of movies.


Oh, brother

Since when does Kirk have blue eyes?

I'm not impressed with the premise of the movie. It seems, to me anyway,
far too convient that the regular characters from the original series first met
when they were younger. I don't buy it.

I'm also not too sure about seeing the movie. I understand Paramounts motives but I don't have to agree with them.

The bridge looks like the Apple Store in San Francisco. "Can I get a Genius to look at my laptop? And an espresso?"
