Aaaah, the Eagle Transporter. That brings back fond memories of Saturday morning sci-fi. A great looking ship that's up there with the best of them.

Before you guys get to critical of some of the designs for the new Star Trek you may want to consider other possibilities.

This is Gabrielle Drake as she appeared in the TV series UFO as Lt. Gay Ellis. Purple hair was part of the uniform for all female personel stationed on the moon. The tight silver outfits worked for me.

Damn-it Jim I won't wear purple hair!

Chrisisall reminded me of this show with his Space-1999 Eagle. Both UFO and Space-1999 were produced by the same people.

There was a core group of these gals at SHADO Hdqtrs. and they all looked like sisters. It was very, very sexy for its day. The series had great potential, but it only lasted one season.

Anyone else see the trailer attached to "Quantum Of Solstice?"

It's made me feel better. They play a little fast and loose with canon, but it looks very interesting.

I hope the movie lives up to the trailer. This could be the first EPIC Star Trek movie!

Select to view spoiler:

I'm shocked that Kirk wasn't a model citizen as a child! LOL! From the looks of it, Kirk and Spock don't really seem to hit it off at first!

The brief shots of the BIG E in action, look better than she does in the promo shot.

Bruce Greenwood as Pike seems perfect, and Pegg's Scotty accent is dead on and hilarious.

Pines and Quinto are believable as Kirk and Spock, but Urban as Bones is perfect! His line, "Space is disease and danger, wrapped in darkness and silence!" is pure McCoy cynicism!

Hello Riverlove:

Just like us Browncoats the "UFO" series has a following. They just didn't have internet back then and could not connect. There is a website with information on the series, but no forum. I remember watching it, but were talking a long time ago, so I don't remember much more then they were chasing aliens who were abducting humans. To bad it only lasted one season. It was followed by Space-1999, that lasted longer and without the wigs.

Great shots of the Star Trek crew. Hard to visualize them so young. Specially Kirk. I can't imagine such a young person as a commander.

I also prefer the Enterprise from the first films.
It was a nice clean design that remained very close to the original TV version.

I completely missed this one.

For any one else:

The Brits always have such a groovy future. How did Mystery Science Theatre miss this one?!

Thx for the Star Trek pics - Quinto sure looks the part, sounding the part is pretty big too.

Hey Traveller.... I was 11 when UFO aired. Even at age 11 I knew this show was a bit lame, but I still watched it because there really wasn't anything else after Star Trek for a long time. I remember the "alien" ships were like upside-down spinning tops with colorful lights. They were either landing on Earth or submerging into the sea. SHADO had underwater ships that would track these things down. Like Space 1999, many episodes were incoherant and un-resolved even from an 11-year old's un-sophisticated perpective. The hot gals were definitely the show's best asset, because Ed Bishop and the rest were rather dull. You can buy the entire DVD set (26 episodes) for $37 on Amazon.

Okay, it IS Winona Ryder! She's listed in the credits, so DUH!

It still doesn't look like her! Maybe it's a bad angle of something, but even in the trailer it doesn't look like her.

It's old news now, but Paramount was evidently so impressed with the rough cut of this film, they decided to move it to the bigger summer movie season. They seem to think it's going to be a blockbuster with summer legs.

Too bad Universal didn't feel the same with Serenity. It was originally to be released the same way (early summer) and they second guessed it, and moved it back to the dumping ground period between the summer and holiday movie seasons. Universal also blew the advertising. Paramount obviously isn't, since they are already advertising Star Trek, six months before it comes out!

How did Universal "blow the advertising" on Serenity? I was seeing trailers 6-8 months before release, and saw literally dozens of commercials for it.

I know that when something fails, folks like to blame the marketing, but it seemed like they marketed the hell out of Serenity.

It was never going to get a super-mega marketing push like something as big as Trek, anyway.

Mainly because the trailers and tv spots were more confusing to non-fans than helpful. Sometimes making a trailer to confuse an audience can work.
My point: Cloverfield. That piece of Shit is getting a sequel because of the high numbers it pulled. Maybe if Serenity had a giant monster blowing stuff up, it may have done better!

Hello Riverlove:

Yea! I watched for the women mostly and the fact it was about the only science fiction around. The women stationed on the moon also wore a lot of make-up. Soom people speculated it was because of radiation. But the producer said it was just a matter of style. I guess they wanted them to look exotic and they came out looking like hookers. Not that I am complaining.

Even the original Star Trek made their women look hot with those short shirts and high top boots. I used to sweat a lot in high school when those short skirts were the fashion. The reach a point where they may as well just worn a belt and just forget the skirt.

That reminds me. I wonder if they are going to bring back that female yeomen who would lean over Captain Kirk and hand him some entry log to sign.
I bet William Shatner liked those scenes.

Yeah, I DO blame the marketing! They had the next "Star Wars" on their hands, and they failed because they targeted a audience that had already decided if they were going to see this movie or not. The trailer's were shown during episodes of SG-1, Battlestar, and other "fanboy" type shows. The trailer should have been broader, and focused at people that didn't already know about Firefly.

Like OPPYH said: "the trailers and tv spots were more confusing to non-fans than helpful."

It quickly became obvious that "The Suits" at Universal, didn't understand the movie, and didn't have a clue how to promote it. That, and the fact that they moved the premiere to the after summer, before holiday season void, killed any chances Serenity had.

Agreed. TV spots were confusing to the non-fan.
Still say that they should have had the cast do the press junkets on all the major talk shows, that certainly could have helped. They could have given folks the heads-up about the series FF.

It's weird, and definitely refreshing, to see a Star Trek trailer that looks like a science fiction movie for once.

I'm extremely happy that they're not bending over backwards to slavishly keep continuity with a 40 year old TV show, particularly in terms of the technology. I like the new design of the Enterprise, particularly the interiors--all very Apple computery and bright and optimistic--that's what TOS was all about and, at least in terms of design, they've captured that in these trailers as far as I'm concerned.

I just saw the latest James Bond movie and in a lot of ways this new Bond is for people who never really liked the old Bond, or at least people who have become utterly bored with the old formula--people like me. Sure, I liked--or should I say, comfortably submitted myself to--the old Bond preposterousness when I was 10, but the world has actually changed in 30 or 40 years and Bond and Star Trek need to mean different things now. So far, this Star Trek looks promising--and it's been way too long since I thought that about a Star Trek movie!

If they can get the primal relationships between Kirk/Spock/McCoy down, everything else will fall into place. Quinto and Urban seem to have the chops for it, but who knows about this noobie they got playing Kirk? Here's hoping he's not Hayden Christensen, part 2.

Chris Pine is hardly a noobie, he's just not been in anything you may have seen. Just from what little I've seen from the trailer and other roles he's played, I can say with confidence that he's no Hayden! He ain't Shatner either!, but then who else is?

Whoah right there, buckaroo. A spy movie is inherently preposterous, unless you're going the Smiley's peeps route. Realism & Bond just don't mix, and when you try, you get stuff like Casino Royale where Bond feels the pain of his torture, yet has inconsistent superhuman qualities that allow him NOT to be killed on rooftops where real-life trained Navy Seals would be. Too much applied realism is antithetical to the concept.
On the other hand, not enough realism leads to junk like Moonraker or invisible cars.
IMO Bond is an adult comic book, and I like me my comics shaken, not stirred, thank you very much.

Jiminy, Chris, so you didn't like Casino Royale???

And thing is, the first half of Quantum of Solace was straight out of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with M playing Smiley and Bond one of Smiley's knock-abouts. The ending was a sort of inverse Constant Gardener. The thing was as close to le Carré as Bond is likely to get. Did you not like that either? You don't think Daniel Craig is the best thing to happen to Bond since Moneypenny? What gives? And real life Navy SEALs survive all kinds of crazy shit--just not necessarily the same Navy SEAL surviving all the crazy shit, like incorrigible James here. For me, Bond is a dream of astonishing competence, extraordinary luck and grit. The less cartoonish, the better.

I tried, I'm still trying, after a few more, maybe I'll get with the program, but right now, I feel Bond absolutely peaked with Brosnan's first three outings. These new ones feel like the Bourne flicks, right down to the shaky-cam.

I'm not a big fan of Craig's Bond movies either. Seems like the producer's are trying to copy the Bourne Movies too much. Yeah, I prefer my Bond far less tongue in cheek, and will never miss Roger Moore, but a short blonde Bond?

Lazenby wasn't really ready to play Bond when he got the role, but he might have grown into it, if given the chance.

I would have preferred to see either Clive Owen or Gerard Butler in the role after Brosnan. I've always been a Connery fan, so Butler would be my first choice, but Owen is closer to Fleming's description of Bond!
