Looks fake!

Since it's a 'reboot', I guess we have to 'presume' it's the Bridge viewscreen...

Abrams might've decided to actually make it a window and Romulans, who get *REAL BIG* after they're defeated, so Nero is about to smash through the glass and grab Kirk and Spook (we rebooted that too). Fortunately, in the next few frames, Scotty's going to succeed in getting the Zords online and they'll transform the Enterprise into a MegaZord and whip Nero's butt once and for all!

I guess they don't have antiglare screens in the 23rd century.

Those screens came about 2 seconds after this movie ends, Cal!

Oooo, he's got tattoos on his face, that must mean he's scary and evil, oooo, run away! Run away and spend your money on a real movie with a real plot.

Captain Jack,

I think when Nero was young and impressionable he fell in with a bad crowd. He started by stealing Romulan ships and selling their cloaking devices on the black market. He worked his way up through the ranks of a Romulan street gang until he became an enforcer. The tattoos on his denote he is an expert at hijacking transporter beams and grand theft starship. If I read them correctly, he also served some time for killing an Andorian.

I thought that Nero was imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit, and then freed from prison by his affluent brother who planned an eloborate escape.

I'm sorry this movie is looking worse and worse. I went on IMDB and looked at JJ Abrams work - how did somebody hand him the reigns to Star Trek? I admit I've never watched an episode of Lost, but Alias was shameful in how it ripped off LFN and Felicity - really? Armageddon? The should have just hired Michael Bay and gone to a Trek convention and kicked everyone in the junk.

And yet I'll still see the movie and try to give it a fair chance. But this looks like a big shiny joke.

Ok this really is getting out of hand. JJ Abrams says he’s rebooting star trek. Now we all have computer (if not then you’re not reading this) I reboot my computer all the time. If it freezes I Reboot. If I turn it on after it’s been off that a reboot to. Here’s my point New Kirk & New Spock are looking at a Romulan, at a time Before The Show time was to happen Yes? If so then years later when Balance of Terror
Happened they would have know what a Romulan looks like. (That Is Back Ground info) The Point: This is for all you Nuevo-Treks. Doing something like this no longer makes it a “Reboot” You have to see that Now This picture Proves in everyway every definition that this movie is a Rewrite! So stop pretending that this is Really Star Trek!

Well, I wish this movie well, but will wait to hear feedback from other fans before seeing it. Few in fandom had any interest in re-casting our favorite characters with new actors, but yet it will be crammed down our throats anyway. If sone well, great!.. If not... (shudder)

Oh Yea! This is todays "Star Trek I'll-give-you-another-bread-crumb-so-you'll-see-my-Movie" Add! Save Star Trek! Don't go see this imposter Movie.

To Captain Jack Harkness Brother when you said that "in the 21 century everything changes" I didn't know you meant star trek too. If you guys over at Torchwood are planning to do anything about this False Star Trek Movie I want you to know you have the full support of the Officers and Crew Of the SSD Dexterous. Remember folks Star Trek Comes out May 8th, so the time to fix it is running out.

I've never written in before I have 1 question. Why don't they have a Hi-Def screen in the 23nd cenury? It's way past June 12 2009 Fuzzy signals should be a thing of the past Right?

"Closed minds. Very sad." he said, shaking his head in amazment.

Shake it more than twice & you'll go blind.

To Captain Zacary R. Wildstar SSD Dexterous, yes, "In the 21st Century everything changes and you have to be ready." But not even Torchwood is ready for this! Personally, I think Abrams is the Master, back in disguise, cooking up some scheme to alter time and space using this movie to draw out the Doctor, and I've been trying to contact the Doctor to warn him. Anyone seen a blue police box anywhere? Anyone? Bueller?

Oh the sky is falling, Shatner is not Kirk and we are lost without our our binki. Look Star Trek is great and any movie that has Kirk and Spock is worth our attention. For what it's worth, Star Trek has suffered greatly since the second season of the origional series. I hope they make 10 movies within this cast and I am happy Star Trek is back!!!!!

I'm with you SciFiMania.

But having a closer look at the image of Nero/Bana, it looks as if it's meant to be seen with 3D red/green glasses.

Can anyone concur?

JasonInMelbourne bring your glasses it might help to filter out some of the disturbing images. And Captain Jack We are scanning for the Doctor & his Tardis More than a Darlect has Ego.

I am confused as to how Kirk goes from the academy to being a Captain of a starship. When I was in the military the only thing that came out of the academy was LT's.
How does JJ explain a cadet going straight to the highest rank on a starship?

Now to be nit picky...call me a geek if you want. But, what happened to Kirk's experience on the Republic and the Farragut? Why is it we accept Spock's 11 years with Pike on the Enterprise. If Kirk and Spock went to the academy together then wouldn't that have made Kirk about 13 when he joined the academy?

I give up on JJ's reimagining. Let's just call the ship the USS Romper Room. It's not the Romulans their picturing on the screen. He's the evil Cookie Monster from that region of space known as Sesame Street. This fits better for the ages of the actors.

First, a point about "Balance of Terror," Spock also says (either in this episode or another) that Earth fought two wars with the Romulans. How can you fight a war and not see what your enemy looks like? This may be canon, but it makes no logical sense. Presumably, there had to be ground campaigns during those wars, not just starship battles.

Second, Kirk is NOT Captain of the Enterprise in this movie, Pike is. Spock and Kirk are not at the academy together. Spock is already a serving officer aboard the Enterprise, Kirk comes aboard as a cadet. If the trailers are to be believed, something (or someone) incapacitates the captain and first officer of the Enterprise, and for some (admittedly preposterous) reason, Kirk takes command.

Although the point is taken about the USS Republic, Kirk says his stint on the USS Farragut was his first posting AFTER the academy. Since he is still a cadet in this film, it is possible (however seems unlikely in the new Abrams Trek universe) that this event simply hasn't happened yet.

As to the viewscreen image, perhaps the screen is damaged? Hard to tell from just this image what the circumstances are.

Just a SCIFI fan - you ROCK!

USS Romper Room! Evil Cookie Monster from Sesame Street! Ha! Great! Fantastic! I want to play too. I'm throwing in The Count!

"1, 2, 3 photon torpedoes, ha, ha ha!"

For the non-fans who wonder what all the fuss is about...
Yes...Star Trek needs a reboot but not a make over! Kirk, Spock, etc. are untouchable. The novels have all successfully rebooted the various shows and have added new captains and ships. If the new movie took place 25 years after Nemesis with a new "cool" cast, no one would gripe but this reboot is an insult - basically telling us Trekkers "that the last 40 years doesn't matter and neither do you."

I am new to this site, so please take my opinion as just that; an opinion. I was just browsing & checked into this page. While I have always been a fan & admirer of Star Trek in it's various incarnations, the more I see of this new film, the more worried I get. Don't get me wrong; I am not opposed to seeing a new cast (in fact, I think most of the actors are good choices for their older counterparts), but I am seeing more promotional ads directed towards the "Fast & Furious"-crowd as opposed to a more general audience, and the plot looks like more of the same 'ol thing. Reboots are basically a new way for producers to cash in on a brand name, and they would have been better off creating an entirely NEW franchise, as opposed to going back to the original to 'remake' it. This 'Beverly Hills 90210' approach to Star Trek seems to disregard everything that made Star Trek appealing to fans. Thanks for your time... :)

So much negativity here. As a 44 year old Trek fan whose earliest "TV memories" were of watching Star Trek as a child, I'm shocked. Not of the direction JJ Abrams is taking this reboot / remake of the franchise, but rather of all the above comments posted on this site. Why condemn the film before you've even had a chance to see it? As for the apparent changes to ST canon ala the Romulans on the scene before "Balance of Terror" all I have to say is this: For years we've watched one time travel episode after another with virtually everything being right back to the way it was before the temporal event occurred. It happened in so many episodes of every one of the series that halfway through each episode I began trying to figure out how they were going to do the reset. It became stale and old. I like the concept that time travel could make everything we thought we knew suspect; it's new.. it's exciting. I'm excited over this remake and can't wait to see it. I think it could revitalize an otherwise dying franchise. If it's successful, I would welcome a new TV series based on it and would hope it would bring the same energy and excitement to the small screen. Of those that saw the film early (thinking they were seeing a screening of ST II:TWOK), the reviews were overwhelmingly positive; so I say, give it a chance!
