    Star Trek TOS movie trailer leaked online

    It cuts off at the end but is pretty good quality for a cam.

    I don't like the age of the cast because they are way to young to be in command of a starship - even a scientific one. And no one on the cast looks older than twenty. Kirk in the original series didn't even look THAT young. He looked like a thirty something - not a twenty something. Also, the Enterprise is suppose to be a Galaxy class starship (science) for exploration not a battleship for warfare, but all the clips show battle scenes.

    In my opinion, this grotesque and sexually disturbing adaptation by J.J. Abrams is too fast pace, spliced with mind-dulling action, and "transformer" type graphics to satisfy a younger audience. The fast pace is shown in the opener of the trailer. Sure, it will please my visual and audio sences, but that isn't what makes a Star Trek film or story great. One of the best Star Trek Films was "The Voyage Home" which was played by a cast of all golden year actors. This new film is not in the true spirit of what Rodenberry wanted for his story.

    good point.

     

    oh well...i'll take any version over none at all. Hopefully, it isn't as bad as I suspect, if it is then I hope the next attempt of the story is more inline with rodenberry

    I want a story line that happens AFTER the TNG characters.  This retro BS is boring to me.  We all know Spock and Kirk always saves the Universe because if they didn't there wouldn't have been a TNG series.  It kind of takes the thrill out of it when you already know which characters are going to live because they have to in order to keep continuity with the previous story lines.  I want a series where nothing is engraved in granite and anyone can be knocked off at any time.  Plus, some new characters, both good and bad, would be a refreshing change.  How much more mileage can they get out of Kirk, Spock and the rest of the crew for God's sake?

    Agreed. Looks like another story line trashed hoping the get a hit.

    More proof that Hollywood is getting desperate for material.

    It looks like they would have learned something from the success of the TNG series and its spin off series like DS9 and Voyager.  They were successful because the story line was fresh and the characters interesting and new.  I always chuckled when watching the Enterprise series because the technology they had was more advanced than the TOS series and it occurred much earlier in the time line.  I want a TNNG series or "The Next, Next Generation."
