Well, the movie is apparently finished and will be flash frozen until the release, so I guess we won't we seeing any R5s of this! Damn!!

I was hoping one would show up soon. Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait until May!!!! I'm going along with Kevin Smith's reviews that this will ^^^^ing rock!!!! He loved Watchmen and this, so I guess he can't be that bad of a reviewer!!

They have a few idiots posting comments on that website. I can't believe how many people are hoping this movie fails. I'm excited about it myself.

From what I've seen in the previews, I can't wait for this incarnation of Trek...

I've been and "old school" "Trekkie", or "Trekker" since I first saw the original series in re-runs back in 1975 on TV when I was only 4 years-old. Star Trek was the very first TV show I remember watching! So, needless to say I've been obsessed with it for nearly my entire life up to now. I'm excited about J.J. Abrams' Star Trek. My only complaint, if you can even call it that, was that a short cameo couldn't be worked out for William Shatner as Kirk in it. I am still backing this new movie 100%!

I've been a Star Trek fan since the early 70's myself, JediMike, and I agree with you on the Bill Shatner cameo.

I'm very excited to see this movie!

That's nuts, the first show I remember watching was also Star Trek reruns in 1975 , on channel 11 in New Jersey with my Dad! I used to ask him, how big was the ship that so many people could fit in it! I feel the same way, I'm an old school trekkie, but am welcoming a fresh reboot if done right and this looks, so far, to be the case.

You know though, after a while you just have to stop with the cameos before it just gets silly. Almost every movie and series someone from the old series shows up somewhere, somehow. As much as I love all of Star Trek, it would be nice if they just started fresh with this.

If done right cameo's are a great tip of the hat to the original actors, but when they play characters that SOMEONE else played on the original series, that's just crap.

Oh I agree, but how many tips of the hat do they have to do? I know in Shatner's case, he seems to expect it.

eh.....I'm sounding pissy.....sorry!

Here's the new trailer that's being shown during the Super Bowl.

Re: J.J. Abrams' Star Trek

Wow....that looks SO out of "tune" with what I know and love about Star Trek and especially the original series. I guess it's an attempt to reboot and gain a younger crowd while clinging to hope that the original Trek crowd will just "like" whatever they are given.

That's an "action" trailer - meant for the superbowl crowd. Later we'll see a "story" trailer - hopefully that will convey more of a Trek feel. I'd agree that Trek was more about exploring social issues in a SciFi setting, but this looks like it could be a fun space opera even if it misses on the social relevance.

As a disliker of almost all things Trek (first contact was great), I can't wait for this. Looks fantasticly cool.

Yeah I think that's the point. That being said I can't wait for this! I like the ST movies. Not enough to buy them but I enjoy watching them. It looks like they made this movie to appeal to everyone and not just a niche group of nerds that attend cons with funny ears on.

Thought the trailer looked cool. I'll see it while its in the theater.

Re: J.J. Abrams' Star Trek

Great stuff in the new trailer but it went by way too damn fast! It felt like they're trying to cram it into a small spot.
Can't wait!!
