The official movie site has a widescreen new trailer up for this summer’s new Star Trek movie; from this and previous excerpts I’m still leaning towards the view that it looks like an enjoyable and good-looking slice of big-budget, summer effects sci-fi cinema but I’m not feeling that special vibe that says’ Trek’ to an old-school fan like me, but I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt until I get to see the whole thing (and I know I will go and see it).

I think it looks fun myself. A youthful Kirk – that’s cool – fighting, womanising but ultimately there to save the day – that’s bang on. An update is what the series needed after the pretty poor Voyager and the last film. And Harold too – wonder if the updating will include a nice “juicy one” in the rec room. May not have to see it after the trailer of course. I saw Cloverfield at the weekend – and whilst it is gossamer thin I found myself enjoying it quite a bit. Abrams knows how to push the right buttons most of the time.

I have to say i thik the new film will be great. I’m not going into it to compare it to the older Movie titles in the franchise, if i did that then i wouldn’t enjoy it as you just can’t compare the the original. Can;t wait to see it personaly i think the trailers look great.

I was quite disappointed by Cloverfield – looked forward to it very much and found it really irritated the hell out of me when I saw it. I’d love to get batteries like they had in their camera though, mine never last that many hours in continual use
Re refreshing the franchise for Trek, you’re not wrong there, it became awfully stale. Enterprise did step up a notch and become much more interesting but sadly only in final season and a half by which time it was not getting renewed. I’m not entirely convinced by what I’ve read Abrams saying about though (especially as he contradicted himself a while back) but I’ll give it a go. My friend’s wee boys are all excited though, so maybe its just the thing for a new, younger audience.

I’m not a big Trek fan by any means- this one looks like fun though.
We were in the cinema a while ago, and the previous trailer came on. My 7 year old son leaned over to me and said, ‘Now that’s a Star Trek movie that actually looks GOOD!’

I think we need to be looking for a fresh perspective on the future, rather than endlessly defibrilating yesterday’s tomorrow.
That said, I am going to be THE HELL at the front of that queue when this bad boy comes out. Double standards, Cap’n: ye cannae change the laws’o Physics!
