TRAILER: Star Trek gets a sexy makeover
« on: November 18, 2008, 01:07:29 PM »

The eagerly anticipated Star Trek film is set to cast off the geeky associations of the sci-fi genre with a handsome cast, vicious fights and sex scenes.
A trailer for the new movie was released online on Monday, no doubt fuelling the excitement of Trekkies around the world ahead of the film's release next year.

The fast-paced trailer include snippets of the childhoods of Captain James T Kirk (Chris Pine) and Mr Spock (Zachary Quinto), lending an insight to the men they grow up to become.
The trailer starts with a speeding Corvette going through the desert being pursued by a mysterious driver on a hovering motorbike contraption.
The car goes flying off the side of a canyon, leaving the young driver - too young to have a licence - hanging off the side, clinging on for dear life.

The pursuing driver, who appears to be a robot, steps off his bike and asks the youngster: 'What is your name?'
The brazen boy replies: 'My name is James Tiberius Kirk.'
...

The trailer is down the page at the link for any Trekkies who can't wait.

I admit that I'm a Trekkie.   So I will definitely see the movie.

I just hope it doesn't suck.  Look what happened with "Speed Racer". 

BTW, I thought Vulcans didn't lose their temper.   And I also thought that Kirk didn't serve on Enterprise until he was Captain.   Humm...

And waddup with Kirk tapping dat azz on Uhura?   Do we really need to see that?  :-)

The last Trek movie ('Nemesis'?) was pretty bad.  This looks a lot better.

This is the link to the trailer: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1562587978/bctid2541780001

My take -- looks like something I will take a pass on.

Well I for one think it's cool that somebody finally opens her Hailing Frequency.  :evillaugh:

They should have let the new Sulu do it though to make up the old one.

I think the old standard for Trek movies were the even ones were better, and the odd ones totally suck. This is the 11th Star Trek movie.

You might have a point.   :-)

Star Trek movies are like public transportation.  If you missed the last one, there will be another one in a few years.

Didn't Kirk do the big nasty with that thing in an episode once?

Fun site - it looks like the movie sucks, though.

It also looks like it isn't canonical.

Spock is half-human.

I can think of some gay, fan-fiction-writing Trekkies who will be disappointed.

If you where a true trekkie, you'd know that Spock was half Vulcan half Human.  Making it easier for him to lose control now and again.  And given how big of a douche Kirk is, I'm sure theres been a time or two that he's had to woop some ass.

I'm a big fan of the Star Trek genre...  but don't get me going about Captains who know how to do everything...  ****ing Katherine "Why do I need a crew when I know everything, and can do everything" Janeway...

She should have spaced Chakote when he betrayed her.  No Captain, under ANY circumstance would let their #1 flat out undermine his/her authority.  Danny Deever, then hit the button.
