If you have the Star Trek phone app, you can book tickets for a preview screening on the 15th of May.

I would, but the nearest one to me is 18$. No thanks.

Do you have to have the app to get this or is it possible for you to post a link?

I guess Admiral Forrest from Enterprise wasn't that terrible either, now that I think about it.

To be fair, Robert Wise mentions that this is done as part fanservice and part as an attempt to help make V'Ger appear much larger and intimidating when it shows up. After all, we get a good scale for the ship and then seeing that ship dwarfed brings us into the moment of feeling so helpless as the Enterprise is drawn deeper and deeper into its never-ending complexity.

I still find it amazing how talented Robert Wise is as a director. The guy could direct any genre.

The Hauting from 1963 is still, by far, my favorite horror movie of all time. I'm amazed every time I think that the same director directed TMP, and The Hauting.

Lets not forget West Side Story, Sound of Music, Day the Earth Stood Still, and The Andromeda Strain. The dude was a really good director.

Whoa whoa, I have no problem with Mudd being a woman. I have a problem with Mudd showing up at all in the sequel. Granted, I doubt he/she will, but showing up in the comic is a little too close for comfort.

Chances are its just an easter egg, and if they ever bring that character into the movie they will ignore it.

Yeah but this would be the first time that Kirk and Marcus get together, which makes sense if you're looking for a canonical love interest for Kirk's early career.

I really hope that since she is in it people expect it to be a rehash of Khan, but instead Khan is not even in it, and she ends up siding with the villian.

...and for not bothering to check up on him. Or anyone one else from Starfleet bothering to do check on him. Dumping the entire crew of the Reliant on that desert planet might have been an extra bit of revenge against Starfleet in general.

Ya that is exactly what it was. He did have some legitimate grivences, but he went overboard with it. Also when they left him it was not a desert planet, it was just a bit rough.

I'm kind of hoping that at some point in Pines run as Kirk there's a moment where he's getting his as handed to him, he suddenly has an "eureka" moment where he puts his hands together in the classic trek Double Fist Slam, and turns the tide.

Yes, it would be indefensively retarded, but its a reboot-cum-sequel of a franchise legendary for terrible fight choreography and it would be absolutely hilarious.

The movie needs to have the fight music from Amok Time. That music is classic and something that everyone remembers.

Outside of time travel episodes New York isn't really portrayed at all in Star Trek. There are references to how _____ character's family is from there or whatever but if I remember right, outside of the west coast almost all of North and South America is large scale controlled farmland. Makes me wonder if, since it's kind of a blank slate it just wasn't even considered as a location.

Then again, future London was never portrayed either. Maybe they just wanted more gamers to look at the trailers and think it's a Mass Effect movie/ripoff again.

They can destroy London as England took over France a while ago and turned it into Dickensian London along with wineyards.

I wonder if Benedict Cumberbatch is a Klingon disguised as human to infultrate Star Fleet. It would make him sort of like an Augment while not rehashing it, and bring the Klingon's back in a big way.

I was thinking this after seeing the new trailer. In particular, this part:
here

And wondering... what the hell is up with his eyebrows? At first glance it looked like botched botox stuff, but there's two or three sets of faint ridges near his eyebrows. If they went that direction it would even possibly tie in with the weird 'smooth brows are a Klingon disease' storyline from I think Enterprise?

Or maybe I'm seeing human facial muscles and wayyyyyy overthinking this.

Its also he just doesn't look human. There is just something off about him.

Nemesis doesn't earn your indulgence. This isn't reading between the lines, it's writing over them because there's nothing good there to begin with. You're literally putting X times better thought into it than everyone involved did, where X is any value you choose because anything times zero is still zero. And yes, that unfortunately includes Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner. Good actors sometimes make terrible producers :(

Lets not forget that the director was a complete idiot. He thought that Geordi was an alien.

To me, a one-dimensional villain is a character who's motivations are either not explained, or make no sense. Both Shinzon and Nero wanted to destroy Earth because...? I can sort of see Nero wanting to destroy Vulcan because it was Spock's home, and Nero saw his destroyed "at the hands of Spock"*, but Earth was just tacked on to keep the stakes high. Shinzon on the other hand makes no loving sense.

*apparently trying to save your planet and failing is vicious intent.

I thought he wanted to destroy earth because it was also Spock's home. It was also where starfleet was based and they said they would help and failed.
