The effect is all wrong though, as the motion lines on the poster make it look like the ship is flying backwards, away from the viewer.

I'm sure there's a good technobabble reason to explain it though!

It's in reverse.

It's a metaphor of the clashing direction between where the fans wanted Star Trek to go and where Abrams took the series. You're seeing a ship being raped which is why it's uncomfortable to tell what's going on.

The Mass Effect field has to be projected in front of the ship too.

The wrap drive doesn't move the ship, it moves the Universe past the ship, in reverse.

Not that it matters for what is primarily an attractive visual presentation, but an object passing you traveling faster-than-light will actually (given certain assumptions about the possibility of such objects existing) create a blurred version of the object appearing to retreat once it has gone by. See the illustration below of a tachyon passing an observer, where the dim sphere is the FTL object and the blue and red shapes are distortions of the sphere appearing to retreat in opposite directions.

Since when have Star Trek and Science ever really hung out together? Sure they pretend to be friends but Star Trek is a real dick when the chips are down.

It's almost like it is a poster advertising a movie that is more about style over substance.

I didn't mean to suggest that any relationship between actual physics and that poster (which I think is very dynamic and attractive) is anything but coincidental.

They're not motion lines, man. It's the tunnel effect created when they're in hyperdrivewarp. See: gif.

French character posters for Spring Breakers are out. Since they're basically shots of girls in bikinis, I'm going to assume they're :nws: and will be linking them.

Also, more from Olympus Has Fallen

"Our nation will rise"? Hollywood sure is trying to get some mileage out of an uninspiring verb.

Those Spring Breakers posters are horribly generic and I think three of the girls have the same overly-smoothed cleavage.

Here is the much better Spring Breakers poster

Something about these posters screams "television". I think it's the font choices and the way the title is rendered.

I'm ok with this but I want to specifically hear tliils explanation so I can be certain I'm enjoying the movie correctly.

You weren't the only one thinking that, turns out she's 27 this year, playing a 16 year old.

To be fair, her parents in the film were born in 59 and 68, so they're just airbrushed to hell and back looking like that.
