Star Trek trailer

Posted by Ryan Adams On November - 17 - 2008

350 years from now, no real progress beyond the Wonderbra. Or the male need to sneak a peek at one. Fascinating.

    Come on, you can’t find anything else to nit pick besides Uhura’s bra?! Your complaint here is the only reason that would be an issue… Just because they’re trying to make Uhura sexy again doesn’t mean this movie is crap…

    Cool. So much better quality than the bootleg version on YouTube.

    Simon Pegg looks good. I wonder why there is a desire to ride 20th century vehicles for fun in the future? It would be equivalent to us, for fun to go sailing in the Mayflower. Do they have gas stations in the future?

    Rob

    Alex, apart from the nitpicking (a favorite pastime of mine) I thing the trailer is f’ing hot.

    Alex, I guess that was my way of being dismissive without being too cruel. I really want this prequel not to be laughable, but no matter how cool the sets and effects, it’s looking like Dawson’s Trek, isn’t it?

    Also, is that the way to make Uhura sexy? Put her in peeping tom scene that looks like every Friday the 13th installment ever made? That’s what I meant. 350 years from now, guys haven’t evolved with any better methods of looking at clothed breasts? I want to see a zero-gravity Invisibra.

    That said, I agree with Rob — the trailer is more fun that it has any right to be. Hell, I wish the whole crew would pull their shirts off.

    Thanks, I needed that.

    Clothed breasts? It’s a PG-13 Hollywood movie, it has to be that way… As much as we’d all love to believe this is a real glimpse at the future, it’s still a Hollywood movie…

    And no – this doesn’t look like Dawson’s Trek. This looks like an energetic and exciting Star Trek like we’ve never seen. I have a lot of faith in Abrams and just because he’s taking this franchise above and beyond anywhere it’s ever been doesn’t mean it looks too flashy or bad by any means. I think everyone is just reacting negatively because it’s a change from the norm – that always happens…

    And sorry for giving you a hard time – just like discussing and arguing things.
    :)

    Mine was not a negative reaction, Alex. That is a perfect trailer for a Monday morning.

    I dont get this crap about “Dawson’s Trek.” Beyond the kid from Alpha Dog who is SUPPOSED to be young, who exactly looks that much younger than the original actors? Sylar certainly isn’t a pretty boy, neither is Karl Urban, Eric Bana, or Simon Pegg. It all comes down to Chris Pine as Kirk. He’s untested and people are nervous. Frankly the guy doesn’t look THAT young. So stop bitching.

    “…doesn’t mean it looks too flashy…”

    No such thing as “too flashy” for my aesthetic needs. The massive flashiness is what jazzes me the most about this trailer. I love that it’s an origin story, and I like the hot young cast. (yay! no more paunchy or bald starship commanders!) The Dawson’s Trek remark was uncalled for — but it’s also a genuine qualm I have: please go easy on the crew love triangles and whatnot.

    yeah, I think the wanking voyeur scene is juvenile. I hope there’s not much more of that, or it will ruin the movie for me. Sorry, I guess I’m really gay because a glimpse of a bra isn’t that hot to me. But those sexy shots at 1:40 sizzle my warped drive. Now that’s how to do PG-13 titillation. More please.

    I didn’t feel like you were giving me a hard time at all, Alex. I enjoy the exchange too. I usually let trailers speak for themselves with minimal editorializing on the main page, and save revealing my real feelings as they evolve in the comments.

    Hard to argue with you about this topic, since we both want the movie to be terrific. You’re more optimistic than I am, but your enthusiasm is contagious.

    o god forbid, a bra

  10. Ryan Adams November 17th, 2008 at 2:41 pm 10

    geez, you guys. I’m not appalled by a bra. But when’s the last time you saw one in a trailer as something to get all squiggly and excited about? That’s all I’m saying.

    o god forbid, indeed. what, are we 11 years old?

    I stand by my original Spockian observation: “Fascinating.”

    It was a joke. Three centuries of aviation advancement, and yet bra technology remains basically unchanged. Unless Uhura is wearing an off-the-rack item from J.C. Pennys as some sort of ancient fetish thing. I’m not appalled, but Howard Hughes would be.

  11. Wally November 17th, 2008 at 3:10 pm 11

    Gravity exists in the 23rd century too = Wonderbra ( + there is nothing wrong with a little sexines – or a lot)

    I love the colors – a nice change from dark summer blockbusters that seem to be prevailing , and camera angles and movements.

  12. Andre November 17th, 2008 at 3:17 pm 12

    wow, that looks bad… not Zoe Saldana in a bra, I can look at that all day long, I mean the film.

  13. Ryan Adams November 17th, 2008 at 3:29 pm 13

    I love the brightly lit Roche-Bobois interiors too, Wally. Why do so many interstellar vehicles have to look like slippery Jiffy-Lube garages? In space, no one can hear you swiffering.

  14. Paul Outlaw November 17th, 2008 at 4:28 pm 14

    Ryan, I still think you should post the Wolverine and Underworld 3 trailers. One of those two at least has Oscar pedigree. ;-)

  15. Matt Brown November 17th, 2008 at 4:42 pm 15

    Paul, some previous Star Trek films have gotten Oscar nominations – sure its been in “technical” categories – but those count too.

  16. Paul Outlaw November 17th, 2008 at 4:45 pm 16

    True, Matt, I just really want to see the response to the Wolverine and Underworld trailers here. LOL.

  17. Tufas November 17th, 2008 at 5:20 pm 17

    ALRIGHT!

    I have decided to part with 9 month husband Javier Bardem and secretly marry the new captain Kirk in Las Vegas after 36 hours of non-stop bra-less hyper-fun at the Honeymoon Suite

    MY GOD. This is going to be HUGE. Clear next summer please, this is getting to 400 million, easy

    And no, I don’t find the bra shot insulting. Star Trek was never Ingmar Bergman, come on.

    Can’t wait. Love a good popcorn movie.

    I bless this movie with the Holy Light of Tufas

    Good Lord!

    I agree there is a little too much Dawson’s Creek for me. The problem (albeit small in comparison to the whole trailer) I have with this reboot’s trailer is the same problem I have with Watchmen’s; that is, the actors playing the main roles are a bit too young and pretty for the parts. The trailers accentuate this by removing the context of the film as a whole. The focus of the films are probably light years from the focus in trailers.

    The use of Uhura’s shapeliness is similar to Jamie/Silk Spectre II in Watchmen. Both are used to tantalize the teen-age boys, not that they needed any extra encouragement. It’s a small complaint, but a noticeable one.

  19. sartre November 17th, 2008 at 5:58 pm 19

    I’m with Ryan and Rob Y, this looks like Dawson’s Trek to me. Whether the cast is young and hot or old, paunchy, and bald is really neither here nor there to me. I want to believe in them and their story. Based on the trailer alone, this looks to have little artistic ambition beyond appealing to teens and adults keen on popcorn blockbuster fun.

  20. Harry November 17th, 2008 at 11:50 pm 20

    One phrase popped to mind when I saw this trailer: “Young Man at the Beach”

    If you get it then you get it. And sometimes, I think Hollywood really, really doesn’t get it.

  21. Free November 18th, 2008 at 11:04 pm 21

    And no – this doesn’t look like Dawson’s Trek. This looks like an energetic and exciting Star Trek like we’ve never seen.

    This actually looks a lot like the Lost In Space remake to me.

  22. backto1960 November 18th, 2008 at 11:18 pm 22

    yay for zoe saldana getting work…

    as for Ryan Adams, men will be men and bras will be bras…even in the year 10000000. Women will always need to support those saggy twins and horny men will always have the urge to peep. It’s human nature. Funny you said this looks like Dawson’s creek. I thought Casino ROyale looked like a straight to DVD sequel of the Bourne Ultimantum. To each his own.

    I thought the trailer looked like a hot mess…however, my disdain is because of the fact that I’ve never liked Star Trek. It isn’t due to any bra or peeping issues.
