FYI: Paramount has uploaded these four latest movie posters as high-res wallpapers and avatars.

Look in the "Downloads" section of the Official Star Trek Movie website. (Set your browser to allow pop-ups for that site.)

The posters for this movie are stupid. | Report this post to moderator

I am not happy about this at all. However, as another poster said, this thing gets Leonard Nimoy's stamp of approval so I will watch it.

It still looks stupid, though.

I don't think we have to go that far neccessarily. I just consider this new film to be a visual reboot only. The costumes, sets, ships and hairstyles are all updated so as to make them more realistically 18 months before The Motion Picture -- especially the ship which needs to look like the movie-refit version in only 18 months time!

I do think however, that every other aspect of the film will be canon. The relationships, the history and events will all fit into what has occured on TOS et al, only visually more believable.

The right way to look at the whole relaunch is this: it's a brand new universe!

TOS was a projection of the future from 1964. In that universe, Kahn was a ruler of millions, a product of eugenics, and escaped earth on the Botany Bay, an "90's" spaceship design. None of this, of course happened. Thus none of the events in any of the TOS movies happened, either (there were no additional Voyager probes in the 90's, so V'ger won't exist).

This relaunch, in all likelihood, will feature a projection of the future from 2008. A whole new universe. There is no way this or any future movie will make any references to Kahn or any other part of the future that TOS got wrong. There's no way Captain Pike will end up in a wheelchair with less technology than Stephen Hawking has had for decades. It's a whole new world out there, Hobbes!

That sort of annoyed frown Urban seems to be wearing just makes me smile.

Neither one of you addressed my point. As far as Chekov is concerned, you have to skirt around continuity ... Why can't you make a similar excuse for an older Kirk? What's the problem here?

We saw older Kirk die and heard Khan say that he saw Chekov before he was stationed on the bridge. Pretty darn simple if you ask me.

Very cool! Pegg looks great as Scotty! Urban's McCoy looks like he could participate in fisticuffs with no problemo!

Uh, but like the previous four promos these look to be made to fit into the Trek diamond icon/logo. Where's the other two? Don't leave us hanging!

Hell, I still need the Kirk poster to complete the first four!

Loved it ! | Report this post to moderator

Loved the image of Urban as Bones (he looks badass, dont know if this is a good thing, but I loved it).

Pegg looks very Scotty-ish and Cho and Yelchin look good (Cho a bit dark and menacing as Sulu ?)

Anyway, loved the new posters. Keep me enthusiasm for the movie high. Very exciting stuff.

This pickin and choosin by Abrams drives me crazy | Report this post to moderator
By: rowboat (Odo's file, contact) @ 20:02:57 on Aug 09, 2008

Okay, I will admit I have no idea what role Chekov plays in the movie. He might be a cadet or something a few "grade levels" below the rest of the gang.

But facts are facts. Chekov joined the Enterprise later. And Abrams either overlooked this fact or simply ignored it.

And yet, bringing Bill Shatner into the fold is somehow impossible. Why? How is his death different than any other piece of canon that he conveniently overlooks? Oh I know the responses I will get already- "Chekov joining later is a very minor point, only the diehards will nitpick. This movie is for a broader audience".

Okay smartypants, how about this: do you REALLY think that the general public knows that Jim Kirk died? Do you really? I bet I could ask 15 people I know who aren't star trek fans (who this movie is geared towards), and they would have no idea what happened to him.

So yeah, I kind of hate Abrams for that. The excuses he gives are stupid and he's just copping out. If he doesn't want Bill in the movie, come out and say it.

I must say I am definately getting more excited now. Sure, there will be the blind die-hards that will ramble about Yelchin not looking like Koenig, Urban not looking like Kelly or Cho's hair being too long, etc. But if this is what we can look forward to in a few months, I honestly feel the franchise is in good hands. Finally, it looks like the TOS-era matches up visually with The Motion Picture, which occured only 18 months after it.
