The second pic has been overly photoshopped like most ppl on magazine covers. It's too bad in this case because it really hurts the overall image.
His skin look noticeably more realistic in the screenshot above.
2. Vulcans age slower than humans.
3. The bridge looks as though they got it second-hand from Admiral Ackbar after Return of the Jedi
4. Dang, but Karl Urban totally nails McCoy, doesn't he?
5. Where's Kirk's Federation shirt? he's dressed like an off duty ninja; maybe, even in the Federation, black has a slimming effect?
Every frickin' show...no body-waste elimination facility, not even a doorway suggesting one; has Mankind evolved to such a degree that they don't, uhmmm, "generate excretory biomatter"?
So, the captain becomes the Federation answer to Johnny Cash, Will Smith, and Tommy Lee Jones*??
*All were Men In Black
I agree that they look kinda metro in the cover pic. Honestly I expect that for a major magazine cover photo. Im not worried at all. I am super psyched about this movie. Even though I am not a big bond fan, I will go see Quantam of Solace just to see the trailer on the big screen.
The thing that excites me the most about these pics is seeing Bana as Nero. I think his character is gonna be wicked!
Pretty soon, the way movies and shows are down-aging everyone, it won't be long before we see our first Pakistani, female, beauty-queen toddler ship commander.
After digesting the images above, I'm thinking my cautious optimism on this film may have been justified.
My two favorite images are Quinto as Spock choking that guy and the combined cast shot. Karl Urban looks like he's channeling DeForest Kelly so well it's eerie.
What I'm not too jazzed about is the look of the bridge. It's too bright. From everything I'd heard about an updated, yet faithful reproduction, I was truly expecting that the color scheme of the new bridge would match that of the old.
It looks too "Star Wars"-ish to me. Take that set and put it in the reds, tans and blacks of the original and it would look a lot more like TOS.
Vic
Since when is Black a captains color.
I remember the Green macho shirt but never black...
Spock looks bewildered on the cover shot... What's Kirk doing to him?
same hair at least.
The Captains supposed to wear black in this film right?
Compare Ackbar's bridge in ROTJ...

to the new Enterprise bridge, seen above; any questions?
Oh, and as to Gary's comment?
What, you never heard of a power struggle?
As for age, these characters are based in or just out of starfleet academy, so that's a non-issue. We don't know the ranks of anyone yet so Kirk perhaps is not captain yet.
PhotoShopLifter Dan,
I recall one bathroom and only one - from TNG when Riker and Data were looking for a strand of hair for the older doctor in order to make her healthy with the use of the transporter - forgive my lack of details, but it had to do with something when she was taking a shuttlecraft somewhere because she was afraid of transporters. Ironic, that is was the transporter that saved her in the end.
There's a bathroom shown in the offical blueprints of the Next Generation Enterprise bridge plans. But there was no bathroom on the original bridge. Just that elevator.
Spock is choking Kirk in that picture.
Love the Pike era touches on the bridge ie the gooseneck lamps and the silver solid uniform rank braids on the sleeves.
Sheesh if you watch Star Trek Enterprise, the officers are older than Kirk and his motley crue...
Its an Abrams teen friendly film.
Regarding this film, I can't say I'm a trekkie, but I'll watch it for Eric Bana.
Im not sure about the recpetion desk on the bridge however!
The ship looks great but cant make heads nor tails of that blue thing on top.
That looks like an homage to the development of the original Enterprise. The next to final design idea for the NCC-1701 was essentially what we saw on the show, but flipped upside down.
That's what that image appears to convey.
Vic
Does anyone know if the actors are signed on for multiple movies? Are they going to do a new franchise with this, or is it supposed to be a stand alone story? I hope they set up for the sequel. My head has always been in the stars and I love to see the exploration and adventures in the unknown. Star Trek is like my dreams on the screen.
Anyone have a favorite Trek character? (from any iterations of the show or movies)
Deadpool, I've heard that all the main players are signed on for 2 more Star Trek sequels.
I think its clear to say that Abrams wants to go forward after this film with movies set in the Kirk timeline... (Prob pre-series)
My fav character has got to be "Q"...
I've seen that design before in the games. As Vic says, the blue is the satellite panel and that's the neck/body portion. The other side of the ship has one centered Warp nacelle I would think.
@Deadpool, I think they want to franchise this and JJ's goal is to show paramount that Trek can be successful.
Don't recall if they're signed on but the plan IS to make this a "new" franchise if the first film does well.
Vic
My favorite character had to be Will Ryker (obsessed fanboys, if I spelled that wrong Im sorry. Please dont accost me!)
As a fan of Jeffries designs I spent hours searching for some glimpse of the new Enterprise with hi hopes and deep dread. This rendering I like and would be happy to see in the film but doubt it is what we'll see on the big screen.
Welcome to the site. I'm a huge Star Trek fan going WAY back.
Vic
So am I, that would be about 33 years for me.
For the new movie to be good to me, JJ will have to hold true to the characters created by Rodenberry and brought to life by the original cast. I don't mean copy their performances though.
The reason Uhura is my favorite is because Nichols played her as a strong and subtle woman that had a fire under control in her soul. We see that fire come to the surface in 'Space Seed' and 'The Naked Time'.
If JJ can bring that kind of complexity to Rodenberry's creations this will be the begining of a beautiful franchise.
I would say that my feelings for The Next Generation are similar to yours for the original. I too am psyched for this movie, and I think Ive seen enough of the original show and movies to appreciate the past. One thing I would suggest to you as a fellow hardcore fan of several shows and comic characters, try not to compare the new movie to the original TOO much. You could end up being so disappointed that it didnt live up, and you might be missing out on a good movie. I had the same problem with the Xmen movies. I expected so much from the first two, and they fell far short of that on first viewing. I went back later to watch them with a friend who hadnt seen it, and I started to notice that even though it wasnt what I thought it should be, it was good (especially X2)
I have my doubts that JJ will keep to what has already been done. I also wonder sometimes if people of this generation would be ever be able to appreciate anything from that era. I myself am young (25) but old enough to be disappointed with the apparent lack of respect kids seem to have with the classics.
I guess my point is that I have high hopes that this movie will be enjoyable for fans of my generation, and fans of yours. Hope you enjoy the movie!
The only thing I am NOT crazy about is the bridge. But it's hard to make up my mind from just one still photo.
Urban seems to have been born to play Dr. McCoy!!

Yeeah weell they do look too young Andy !!!!! (Aunt Bee voice) ... ;-)
Hopefully the story (is so kick aas) it allows us to overlook that...

The Enterprise Bridge looks (lets get real, cause I'm keeping it real) like an extravagant piece of Ipod / Iphone crap,,,!!!
I only hope that, that's the Enterprise bridge, that gets destroyed on Cap Pikes Ship...
(Where's the trippy colors man?)
Btw its pretty obvious that were gonna see how Captain Pike gets Fd_up in this film,,,
Poor Nowhere Man...
Get ready to blink one for Yes, and 2 for No... :-(
Maybe Metrosexuals go Manic for Metrologic scanners with their MochaWhateverTheFudgeYouCallIt?
Mark said, "Im not sure about the reception desk on the bridge however!"
How else will Kirk keep track of which babe he "makes First Contact with" at different times?
790 said, "@Dave, right behind the main Viewscreen,,, wow that means a direct hit to the forward bridge could get very ugly if shields are down"
Not as ugly as if Kirk gets a bad case of the Hershey Squirts..."(*BRA-A-A-A-AP!*) Oh, GodOGodOGodOGodOGodOGodOGodOGodOGod! SPOCK! BONES! Who forgot to reload the toilet paper dispenser?"
I'm also a huge Trek fan but I see nothing wrong with the bridge. We all know that this is a re-imagining of the Trek universe, so we'll see alot of SGI that is vastly superior to the 1966-69 show, or even the TOS movies. I feel the bright colors are refreshing and look a lot like the experimental ship the Doctor was transported to in Voyager.
My favorite character out of all the Trek universe has to be the legendary Spock. I love them all but Spock reigns supreme.
That picture with Quinto and Pine needs to be outlawed. Or better yet, just throw it into a warp core. :-)

So although, what we see looks drastically different from the original show, that makes me feel kinda good about it.
Wtf,,,, They stick to the uniforms but transport the cool look of the bridge out into space,,,
This attention to detail is way too Admiral Ackbar's ship/Starbucks looking,,,
(I'm not impressed)
Arrrhhhhhhh. :-)
The lighter colors would indicate a female influence. The reason I say this is because every woman in my family wants everything light in color. It also makes sense if you want to make the space look bigger, and from this picture the bridge looks small, compared to the original TOS bridge. It looks like the walls are anchored rather than movable. That limits camera angles and setups. I believe that's Uhura standing at the communications console with the Metrologic scanners. I first saw this picture somewhere else, and the camera angle/photo was just a little further to the left, which made it look like the comm-station was out parallel with the Captains chair. The first thing I thought is, the first torpedo hit, and Uhura is going to become a trip hazard. However I see it's not quite parallel but inset. I think that's the turbo lift door to the right of her behind the slab of transparent aluminum (sic). Colors hearken back to STMPs' bridge only lit brighter. Free standing console, transparent barriers, and color palette give it the "Star Wars" episode 6 look.
Damn it,,,,
I think it's great that they're bringing back those miniskirts for the female uniforms of the future, just like in the original Trek series. That's pretty cool, don't you think? At least we can have comfort in knowing that the future fashion trend aren't burqas and long beards.
Just because you like things to be new, doesnt mean you have the right to insult people who watch tv and movies that they have come to love over the years. Lets keep it civil, people!
A stellar example of this?
2 words: "New Coke"
The picture on the cover of EW are the "Game faces" for the characters. ;-)
Albram is trying to mix the ipod era/design into an era between ENTERPISE and TOS and it makes no sense.
Whats with the transparent wall columns? Whats with his black uniform? Its too white and shiny and plastic and ultrarealitic.
Has Albram watched any ST in his life?
That's why the bridge looks like a flying Apple Store but why the uniforms look relatively familiar -- you see a picture of "a new Kirk and Spock" and you think, "Hey, we're going to see a new Star Trek!" Then you see the bridge and it hits you, "Oh... nope, it's a new Star Trek: Voyager, time travel story of the week and all. Aw... :("
Line 1 of the article says it all: "You’re looking at the first image of a scene from the upcoming J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek movie."
And,,,?
Not just here, but in the non-cyber world of Grocery Store window ads; they pay big hunks of cash to signmakers to make these posters, then get 9-foot high adverts for "pommygranits", "pares", "bunnannaz"...and we're talking major chain supermarkets!
However,,, the quality of spelling can't be expected from the blogging public...
Anything else on your mind about the new Star Trek, from JJ Apeman ?
Of course, as Abrams has said, this isn't for Star Trek fans, it's for movie fans.
I am actually open to this if it will keep Star Trek alive. And that's coming from a guy whose favorite series is TOS.

What possible use could that serve to the talk about the images?
I'm pretty sure my typo didnt cause a fairy to die or Santa Clause to put me on his naughty list this year.
I guess its slightly contridicting.
Try to deny this, a few of my friends LOVE this stuff, and everytime I watch an episode of any of these things or an anime movie or see any of their books, without exception, this has happened. There is like a 25 minute fight, then someone who is supposed to be dead turns out to be the villain, then the action magically stops so the villain can tell some sob story about why he's the way he is, you know it's supposed to be a sob story because their eyes tremble, then for the next 30 minutes he explains how he's not really dead because blah blah blah blah blah, then either the episode ends and you have to see how the fight ends in the next one or they resume and it's over in like 3 minutes...
It's not always a fight, that is just an example. I HATE whenever any movie or show have the story stop so the characters can explain all of the confusing crap you don't understand. It's better when they figure out how to convey that and to have the audience understand things non-verbally. It just makes for better story telling. True, it seems like it's a trend for movies in the USA to rehash old shows, calling them "reboots" or whatever, but there are a lot of good things out there, and even in the reboots, sometimes it's actually a good thing because they use good story-telling techniques. You can't tell me that Casino Royale cannot be taken seriously. Or that Batman Begins is not a good reimagination of the Batman franchise...
Well, the Hemingways & Shakespeares are dividing duties trying to write intelligent shows for TV, like Pushing Daisies; the Mozarts are having to learn techno music and hip-hop (and rap) in order to be competitive
