Kirk and Spock over the Enterprise
First off, if you haven’t yet, go see the trailer. This one is worth the HD download. It’s pretty.
Okay, back already? Good.
Looks pretty good, don’t it?
I’m not going to obsess over the details here. I’ll do that at other blogs. Just wanted to put my quick two cents in: I can already tell from the trailer… I’m gonna like this movie.
Apparently, I’m an easy sell, though. I also like Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek: Nemesis.
There will be fan-boys freaking out about this one. I think that’s inevitable. (”They’re building the ship on the planet?! Oh No! This movie will suck!”) But there’s no pleasing those people. I really do enjoy Star Trek, but if an inconsistency or two show up… oh well. It’s a movie/franchise. Continuity wasn’t even invented until Star Trek went off the air originally. I think it’ll be great.
Despite having said that, there is one thing that I’m going to bring up as a potential continuity issue, but only because Abrams brought it up himself (or someone did in the interview I read somewhere): the Federation knows of, but has never met a Romulan face-to-face before the time period of the original series. I’m not sure how Abrams is going to deal with this then…

Sure looks to me like Kirk and a Romulan in a fight.
Guess what. If they don’t explain it, I’ll be okay. A little disappointed, since they brought it up, but it won’t prevent me from liking the movie.
(Hmm… I haven’t even finished the 2008 movie list, yet, and it looks like I’ll need to start making my 2009 list.)
