View the mighty logo!

Well, I expect they'll add the teaser after Cloverfield finishes its opening weekend.

Due to the massive tide of glowing, extremely positive reviews for that flick, I've decided to see it with a couple of my sibs this Friday. Apparently it'll feature the Enterprise being constructed.

Eh, they aren't active yet. [Big Grin]


We're not seeing it 'til Friday. As I write this, it's still Wednesday. [Wink]

What no midnight preview?

But seriously, I'm having a weird week, I don't have any work or school tomorrow as I took the day off to go the hospital, so my brain keeps thinking it's Friday evening today, why else would I have the day off? [Confused]

edit: Also as a Star Trek aside, there was this girl that I thought was insanely cute, and since she was a history/political science double major, we've had alot of the same classes over the past few years. She never seemed interested in my advances so I gave up on the prospect, and got married in the meantime. Today in class the teacher could not get the projector to work and so I suggested, he try doing it the star trek way and said, "On Screen" in my best Patrick Stewart. She cracked up, said I was the cutest geek she had ever seen.

Women... [Dont Know]

Obviously still under construction.

Watched the teaser today. Cracked my sister and brother up in the process!

Visually and musically it doesn't start out like a Star Trek teaser at all.

Then I heard Nimoy's voice, saw the outlines of the Enterprise.

Gave a gasp that they both found hilarious.

Anyway, it's an exciting and clever teaser.

The teaser is now online at the official site.

Plus, looks like a new viral/ARG thing is being set up for the film. Check out this page.

Doesn't there have to be some mystery surrounding something for there to be a viral campaign?

No, to have a viral campaign there just has to be viral websites.

Though "mystery" fits in this case. The amount of security surrounding this film (especially after photos of young Spock were leaked) is insane! [Smile]

I thought it was a cool trailer.

In general it looks darker, visually, not content wise. But in general it looks a lot more real, and a lot less like that bright, shiny, perfect utopia that we're often shown.

I like the feel, even short as that 30 second teaser was.

The "new old" Enterprise looks beautiful, from what little I can glean out of the linked hi-res picture. It looks like they took the original pre-refit Enterprise design and re-detailed it with paneling that more closely resembles the post-refit look. That post-refit design (aka "movie Enterprise") has always been my favorite of the various Enterprise permutations, so this compromise between the two suits me just fine.

Nice vid! I'm looking forward to seeing what this looks like with J.J. Abrams at the helm.

The viral website: (not to mention plenty of mystery)
