Star Trek Nemesis Preview Online

T-Kir writes "Originally from a news link at Trekweb, iFilm has a preview of Star Trek Nemesis in WMP, Real and Quicktime formats, it is also recommended you view with a broadband connection. [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.

It's an even-numbered Trek movie,

[dpilot]

so it should be a good one. Maybe they should make the odd-numbered Trek movies direct-to-video.

Too much info in trailers

[Undaar]

Is anyone else sick of trailers giving away key plot developments. To me a perfect trailer is more of a teaser. It should entice you. It should make you want to see the movie. But it shouldn't tell the whole story.

Just my 2 cents (or non-cents *groan*)

Re:*looks* fantastic!

[Accipiter]

This may very well be the last TNG movie, as the trailers say "A Generation's Final Journey". Seems to hint that this is the cap.

I always believed that after DS9, Trek as a whole should have taken a long hiatus. The gap between TOS and TNG was huge, and TNG turned out to be a fantastic series. But since TNG ended, it's been nothing but rapid-fire Star Trek, most of which can't hold a candle to TNG.

Now they're milking the franchise, and we get crap like Voyager and Enterprise. Insurrection wasn't that great either. I'm hoping Nemesis does something to redeem the TNG movies, as Insurrection kinda put it on a low note. Generations is the best TNG movie so far.

I'd like to see them put the entire franchise to a rest after Nemesis (and kill off Enterprise before the 7 season mark), and let it lie in wait until a team with a GOOD idea a few years down the line can put a fresh and interesting spin on it.

Not Hard to Guess Even Without Seeing it...

Let's see: a big bad something threatens the Earth/Galaxy and Picard and Data and some other guys have to beat up the big bad guy and save the day.

Along the way, various minor cast members will have short/throwaway scenes, but most of the real meat of the plot will involve Picard and Data.

There will be a Worf joke.

Not like we haven't seen 3 of these already, you know.

Apparently, you are not familiar with the "Even-Odd" rule of Star Trek [ezboard.com] movies. This is an even-numbered movie, and thus, will rock. Think about it:

1. The V-ger debacle.
2. KHAAAAAAAN!
3. The Spock debacle.
4. The whale one--rocked.
5. Worst...Debacle...Ever--search for Jebus.
6. Klingons, in-jokes, etc.
7. Cross-generation debacle.*
8. BORG QUEEN.
9. Zzz..debzzzaczz..zle.zzz...

Obviously, this movie will kick some ass. Go out on a high note!

*I find it odd that you thought -Generations- better than First Contact. Really, that struck me. I know plenty of folks that like Generations, but those folks LOVE First Contact. Borg Queen man! Time travel! Wow. Did you like Search for Spock more than Wrath of Khan (shudder)?

Re:Too much info in trailers

[Longinus]

I think the real problem is that most movies are so rehashed, uninspired, and predictable these days that we can easily tell what the entire thing will be like regardless of the trailer.

Fuck off

GEE THANK YOU FOR SETTING ME STRAIGHT! I guess since 99% of the population uses it it MUST be good!

From where I'm sitting there is no significant difference between "APPLE QUICKTIME", "RealPlayer demon spawn" and "Microsoft sleaze". It's the same tune sung by different vocalists.

Silently not using certain players pointless. In my experience not using certain players and requesting media in other formats is not.

Oh, and when you actually take the time out of your busy day to spell out "thanks" you're a lot more convincing when you tell people to grow up.

Re:Why did it take so long?

[omnipotus]

One reason might be that Patrick Stewart [imdb.com] has been a litle busy, what with Prince of Egypt, X-Men 1 & 2, Jimmy Neutron, and a bunch of TV and video game appearances, not to mention stage performances on and off of broadway.

Stewart, unlike Shatner, can deliver real dramatic performances, and is not type cast to even a fraction of the degree that any of the original crew was. It is not surprising that he has had other gigs, nor that he may not want to do so many Star Trek films when he doesn't need to.

Re:What I want to see in a Star Trek movie...

[Eil]

The warp scale must have changed again in the future (in the last episode of TNG) when Dr. Crusher ordered her helm officer to take the ship to Warp 13.

In the Star Trek Technical Manual (an actual book... that I own), it is stated that if anything ever travels at Warp 10, it will occupy all points in the universe at once. That's the "official" reason that no ship can travel at Warp 10, but I think it's a little flimsy. I personally like yours better... Warp 10 would be infinite speed, but which would be impossible to achieve because it would take an infinite amount of energy. Sounds good enough to me...

And for those of us who dont want to stream?

[Bert64]

I would very much prefer to download this trailer to a file on disk, why? my connection is erratic, sometimes quick and sometimes slow, and my route to a server halfway across the world doesnt help much.
watching video in such conditions would be very annoying, but downloading it to watch later wouldnt bother me atall. So then, why dont any of these sites offer an option to do that?
