Seeing it in IMAX on Saturday

Saw the trailer before IM3; am I crazy or does it look completely awful?

The initial teasers and the first theactrical trailer (maybe) made it look pretty good, IMO. The TV spots and stuff have not seemed so favorable.

I think it will at least be decent/entertaining. Maybe not as good as the previous film (which you nerds apparently hated, anyway). Anything should be able to outdo Eric Bana's shitty villain.

It's hard to know what it's about at all, other than Cumberbatch causes a raucous, and Kirk et al. blow stuff up to stop him.

I'm not too sure if it will be good, but I'm mostly going so I can wear this shirt and get dirty looks! :awe:

Well this is the only trailer I've really watched, but it looked very bland and generic. The Superman trailer looked far more interesting to me. :hmm:

I like Cumberbatch, not a huge fan of that Kirk though.

I just hope there is enough lens flair.

 

[bearxor]

The more previews I see for this, the less I want to see it.

It's not good enough that the star ships look convincing. You've got to be convinced that they actually had cameras filming the convincing looking star ships.

 

[phucheneh]

This is the internet...surely somebody has done a study on what cameras in space would actually capture.

Would they be more prone to picking up lens flares from ship lights, nearby stars, reflective planets/moons, ect?

At least Abrams creates the flares practically instead of CGI'ing them in (with the obvious exception of exterior all-CGI shots).

So how would you explain a camera on the bridge of the ship loaded with lens flare in an atmosphere?

 

[xBiffx]

Gonna be better than IM3 but that's not difficult or special.

I just hope there is enough lens flair.

My movie rating will be directly proportional to how much fucking lens flare is hitting my plastic POS 3D glasses.

 

[Ruptga]

I was going to make a lens flare dig, but I see you guys already have that covered.

Keep up the good work, gentlemen :thumbsup:

I just hope this next one isn't as insulting to my intelligence. I mean, a supernova destroying multiple star systems? And the only way to stop it is by making a black hole? Yeah...

 

[Ichinisan]

I saw one trailer that really bugged the hell out of me.

Basically, it was like this:

• I'm gonna get that guy.
• How are we gonna get this guy?
• Let's go get this guy.
• I'm going to make this guy pay.
• This guy isn't getting away.
• I'm gonna get this guy.
• Come with me and we'll go get this guy.

I recall it destroying only one system. The one containing the Romulan home world.

It looks terrible, like the first one. Just a summer action flick with no substance.

 

[EvilYoda]

They bumped it up to a Thursday opening meaning a Wednesday night "midnight" show...but I have to leave for a flight at 5:30AM the next day. Looks like I'll watch it on my own next week.

 

[Ichinisan]

Watched a trailer just now. It really is rapid-fire:

I request permission to go after him.

I cannot allow you to do this.

-cut to completely different scene-

Jim, you're not actually going after this guy...are you?

-cut to completely different scene-

Let's go get this son of a bitch.

I'm watching it anyway. That's probably just a really poorly-edited trailer.

Ugh, yeah... I got an e-mail saying that the theater changed my showtime, but I can go and have it changed again to something else if I want. I might change it to Sunday because then it's $2 cheaper and there's a better chance that my shirt will be in, which we know is the important part.

Spock melds with Kirk so that he can understand why he is here. He explains that 129 years in the future, in the year 2387, an impending supernova of a star threatened to destroy the home worlds of the Romulan Star Empire and, potentially, the rest of the galaxy as well.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Yeah and why did Spock bother with the red matter when routing the warp drive through the deflector shield would have done the same thing? Seriously, I'm having trouble suspending my disbelief here.

Nobody sane will argue that Star Trek hasn't always used technobabble as a convenient crutch for its stories. However, one little supernova being a danger to the entire galaxy is beyond the pale.

Oh joy. They decreased the lens flare compensated with the old teal and orange color palette.
