[ed. snip] All in all a nice piece of eye candy until the films release on December 13th." This is a long trailer with lots of spoilers - you've been warned.

Anti-matter?

[masonbrown]

How cool is that - the anti Picard. Wonder if that can be used to power some kind of warp drive....

[jaredcoleman]

Wait, Enterprise could just sling-shot around the sun for a do-over... never mind.

Re:*looks* fantastic!

[Schik]

Yeah, but for a Voyager movie, the crew could go back out for a ride on the Minnow II... er.. the Voyager.. II? and get lost in the Delta Quadrant again!

its not working.... now

[LWolenczak]

As of right NOW... its not working... i get a page not found error when trying to load the trailor or the preview...... So... did slashdot /. ifilm? will this mean the mpaa going after the evil slashdot hackers for DoS'ing ifilm's website?

Re:Unknown man at console

[saider]

That's Yeoman Johnson!

You'd think that in the future, they'd figure out how to build a console that does not explode. It'd save a lot of lives. I guess there's no Ralph Naders in the future.

[Apotsy]

But he can't be the evil Picard, he doesn't have a goatee!

Anyone got a mirror?

[XaXXon]

Cuz even in the 24th century, they still can't handle a good, old-fashioned slashdotting...

Re:*looks* fantastic!

[Pii]

You don't need to see the trailer to determine whether or not it will be a good Star Trek movie. You need only count it's place in the series.

• Odd numbered Star Trek movies suck.
• Even numbered Star Trek movies are good/great.

This edition is 10 in the series, and is therefore, a must see.

Behold:

1. ST: The Motion Picture - Practically unwatchable.
2. ST: The Wrath of Kahn - Kick Ass!
3. ST: The Search for Spock - Zzzzzzzz...
4. ST: The Voyage Home - Pretty Good.
5. ST: The Final Frontier - Yuck.
6. ST: The Undiscovered Country - Loved it.
7. ST: Generations - Ok, but not good.
8. ST: First Contact - Rocked! (My favorite so far)
9. ST: Insurrection - Tolerable
10. ST: Nemesis - Care to take a guess?

Ten Rules for a Successful Trek Movie

[Bonker]

1. The Holodeck is strictly off limits. It may not be metioned, alluded to, or featured as a plot element.

2. Only the badguys quote Shakespear.

3. NOBODY quotes or signs songs from musicals. Not Rogers and Hammerstein. Not Andrew Lloyd Webber. ESPECIALLY not Gilbert and Sullivan!

4. Everybody who dies stays dead.

5. Time-travel is permitted, but must be used as a humourous plot element, and not as part of the denoument.

6. Villans must be sane, intelligent, calculating and preferrably vengeful. Regardless, all villans must have beleivable motivation. Insane, god-like beings need not appear.

7. Little or no new technology should be introduced in the course of the movie, epecially technology relating to time-travel or the holodeck. If technology is introduced it should be treated with care-- do not show a knife on screen unless it's going to end up in someone's back!

8. Redshirts must die by the score.

9. There must be at least 25 minutes of space battle footage in which at least one ship is violently and graphically ripped apart.

and

10. The Enterprise must suffer heavy, even crippling damage in the course of the fight. It may even be destroyed.

Re:*Spoilers*

[CaseyB]

to star Riker, Troi, etc (no Picard or Data).

So, they took the inverse of the set of good TNG actors. Wonderful.

Re:Bad timing for Star Trek release

[rczyzewski]

someone else on /. is married? wow, and I thought I was the only one.

The sad state of Sci-fi

[nexusone]

I am a long time sci-fi fan.
I seen almost all of the Star Trek movies in the Theater, except the last few of old ST movies. The movies got so badly written, I could not bare to watch, even on video.

Even with the TNG movies, Generations was maybe the best. I think from the trailer, that I watched before Harry Potter 2. I need not watch the movie, since the plot and everything we given it.

The only really cool space shows of late have been Babylon 5, Farscape, first season the Andromeda, Lex (though it is just a bit weird) reminds me of some of the old British sci-fi shows.

I do not know why TV executives think shows need to be dumb down, but to me it is killing sci-fi not helping it and nether does being over PC help.....

OMG. I really need to not read /. at work. I just spewed coffee all over my monitor after reading this.

I suddenly could HEAR THE SONG IN MY HEAD. Now it won't go away.

My coworkers are staring at me.

*hiding behind cubical wall*

Again?

[TekPolitik]

They crash and destroy the ship again? These guys are never going to be able to get insurance now.

Re:Unknown man at console

[Anonymous Coward]

Unfortuantely, in the future crew members are so protected with forcefields, interaial dampeners, and the like that the only way the enemy has found to effectivly hurt them is to make consoling exploding weapons. Thus the prevalance of so many exploding consoles. Its an arms race, who can make the other guys consoles blow up better.
