Senior officers to the Bridge

[mikailborg]

Paramount has released several stills from next year's Star Trek movie. Of course, since I want everything on that big screen to be a surprise, I was able to resist checking them out...

... for all of about twenty seconds.



TrekMovie.com is the source website. I'm seeing some new Galactica influence on this bridge set, but interestingly, it's as though Trek intends to take its bright future back from BG, thankyouverymuch. I'm thrilled to see this, this isn't the rust-colored Ops of DS9, or the mood-lit bridge of the Voyager - this is a ship that's Boldly Going.

Do my eyes deceive me? Abrams brought back the miniskirts, and tossed in short sleeves as well! In fact, the uniforms are remarkably similar to the old Theiss designs. I'm more and more pleased with the thought that this won't be revisionist Trek, but Classic Trek for the 21st century. I think that's a bit brave.

So, a quick poll, for those who clicked through the cut. As usual, feel free to discuss further in the comments:

I like the look. Let's face it, if Gene Roddenberry had access to today's technology, the face of Trek might have been vastly different. As it is, we have to remember that this is J. J. Abrams' vision of Star Trek. I'm looking forward to seeing the new movie, and I'm planning to go into the theater with an open mind.

Zachary Quinto doesn't look bad as Spock, either. He may be the next Nimoy, as far as Trek is concerned.

And as for filking - I'll wait till I see the movie.
