Seems so, and is in Spock/Kirks younger days. Details are virtually non-existent as yet.

Dont you remember when I posted the poster a little while back and someone else then reposted it with a little more information about it?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/

At that time nothing was known about it though, since then the first draft of the script has been completed.

Actually I totally missed any previous mention of the film :whoops:

Itll be crap no doubt. The franchise has been dead since Enterprise.

While I adore Trek, Im very wary of the newer Trek movies plus this one. The last good one was First Contact.

Although I will allow myself a silver of hope that itll be different and maybe revive the movie franchise.

Apparently Matt Damon is suppose to play Kirk and hes been on form lately. Will be interesting to see JJs take on it.

Even Shatner might be in it.

agreed.

Im currently working my way though DVDs of TOS which I got for christmas, now THAT is Star Trek, wobbly sets and all!

QuoteEven Shatner might be in it.

dont see how that would work unless he plays Kirks father or something. Cant imagine seeing Shatner in anything and not thinking of him as Captain Kirk.

QuoteI would actually prefer [that] people dont know the series, because I feel like they will come to it with an open mind.

mmm sounds alarmingly like "I plan to boldly go to a new level of plot holes and continuity errors which even Star Trek has never hit before, and perhaps people who havnt seen TOS wont notice"

I think its more along the lines of Shatner/Nimoy might be used for 30sec "looking back" at their youth.


JJs script for Superman was completely against canon, so theres definitely concern for what hell do with XI.

It made up for the slightly dodgy sets by having rock hard scripts and state of the art special effects - just look at the attack on the Borg cube in First Contact, pathetic explosions from what are supposed to be photon and quantum torpedoes. On TOS you get huge explosions from the torpedoes that  turn the ships screen white. A totally different effect.

Photon torpedoes are supposed to carry 1.5KG of antimatter, with a yield of about 64.5 megatons of TNT. One and its goodbye London, three would pretty much take out the UK. Note that Hiroshima was only about 10 kilotons in comparison

That might not have been a bad thing since Superman Returns was sh*t.

indeed, there are several occasions in TOS where a Constitution class starship is referred to as having enough fire power power to destroy an entire planet if necessary. In fact in STV Checkov points out that the approaching Klingon BofP is likely to destroy the planet, and a BofP is tiny by comparison to the Enterprise.

Not to mention Picard would never have had the brass ones to pull off the Corbomite Maneuver.

OK remove Star Trek geek hat, Im back to normal now.

But in TNG they seem shocked that a Borg can destroy an entire planet.
Since a photo torpedo cant even kill a ship usually, we have to ignore TOS on this one.

I wasnt going by TOS but by the fact files on the photon torpedo, a ship like the enterprise certainly does contain enough antimatter to make a planet uninhabitable. This doesnt mean reduce it to space dust, just kill everything on the planets surface. They rip most of a planets atmosphere off during one episode, Obsession, series 2.

Something changed during the first films for some reason, there was a claim that the phasers had gotten better when in fact they were worse. Kirks enterprise Koed ships with a few phaser blasts but by the time of The Wrath of Kahn it had gone completely down hill.

Who cares? You cant analyse Star Trek; its so full of plot holes youll drive yourself insane picking it to pieces like that.
