  • sockpuppets, on 01/18/2008, -4/+162Digga please. Those are spinners.
  • GhostSniper, on 01/18/2008, -1/+69Some time after 2063.
  • inactive, on 01/18/2008, -1/+65When China lends them the money.
  • karnage42, on 01/18/2008, -1/+59i went to the midnight showing of cloverfield solely to watch this trailer
  • zerosaber8, on 01/18/2008, -1/+53I can almost *hear* the geekgasm
  • Yupp, on 01/18/2008, -2/+51First official hard on for a trek film,
    in about FOREVER
  • PixelMagic, on 01/18/2008, -6/+54While very cool, that is fan art, and not the real Enterprise from the movie.
  • spyd3rweb, on 01/18/2008, -2/+45Yes I'm sure they build CGI models with scaffolding and cranes.
  • knuckles, on 01/18/2008, -2/+44I'd think they need to solve a few pesky issues first:

    1) anti-gravity
    2) warp speed
    3) anti-subspace-radiation
    4) phasers for killin' klingons we know are out there
    5) every single apple G4 laptop computer ever made (melt them down for their titanium casings)

    There's loads more, but that's the short list.

  • GhostSniper, on 01/18/2008, -2/+33Americas Next Top Model.
  • trueinfinite, on 01/18/2008, -1/+29jj abrams is boldy going where... wait.. everyone's gone there before..
  • rephil513, on 01/18/2008, -5/+29The warp nacels look like propellers. This isn't Star Trek: Underwater, right? Otherwise, digg...
  • wild, on 01/18/2008, -0/+24I am glad I am not THAT into Star Trek. Only because I won't be watching the movie and think "that guys part is on the wrong side of his head. This is inconsistent! I hate this movie!!!"

    I can just enjoy it for what it will be.
  • PixelMagic, on 01/18/2008, -0/+23Not soon enough, I'm afraid.
  • khedoros, on 07/31/2009, -0/+22The ship is only partially constructed. I'm guessing those are the things that give it a "pinwheel" kind of look when the red light comes from behind them.
  • psion01, on 01/18/2008, -0/+22Gabe is more than just a fan. He's worked on a number of projects, including the new Battlestar Galactica, and his vision of the Enterprise was published in last year's Ships of the Line calendar. If you look closely at this picture, you'll see it shares a lot of common features with Gabe's ship. Look at those humps above the "bussard collectors" and the way the intercooler fins blend with the nacelles. I won't be at all surprised, after seeing this, if the new ship is indeed his.
  • Kronos6948, on 01/18/2008, -0/+21They're not turbine engines. This movie is supposed to be TOS all over again. It's under construction. The Bussard collectors haven't been added to the nacelles yet. The show with Archer is called Enterprise, and if you watched the series, transporters were new technology, and they were afraid of using them in the first couple of seasons. Another thing you have to understand is that TOS was made in the 1960s, so the tech is going to look kinda inferior, although in Enterprise, there were some throwbacks.
  • Kronos6948, on 01/18/2008, -1/+19Those are the inner workings of the Bussard collectors.
  • shiftclick, on 01/18/2008, -2/+20Have you seen "The Surreal Life"? Dumbass. God's gonna smite you anyway! *SMITE* *SMITE*
  • krystofr, on 01/18/2008, -21/+38It could use some racing stripes and a spoiler. The Klingons need to know that these guys are "too fast, too furious"!!!
  • Shakermaker, on 01/18/2008, -0/+17Probably the geekiest thing I have read so far today - and I'm not even halfway down the thread yet.
  • smacksaw, on 01/18/2008, -3/+20Please don't talk about fictional events from the future like that.
  • inactive, on 01/18/2008, -3/+19Best comment all week!
  • ICasualty, on 01/18/2008, -0/+16Actually at the premier of Cloverfield, they showed a preview of the movie and yes that is a picture from the actual trailer played.
  • JGent, on 01/18/2008, -0/+15Why make a comment then, you could have jsut passed the topic........Or did you just feel the need to post :]
  • craighoxton, on 01/18/2008, -2/+17I'll probably cry in the movie theatre when I watch this scene
  • Derelict267, on 01/18/2008, -1/+16I just got back from the Cloverfield midnight showing and they showed the teaser for this. I'm not a Star Trek fan but I have to say I was pretty impressed even though it was a tiny teaser it makes me want to see it. J.J. Abrams always does a great job.

    Also Cloverfield was a ***** awesome movie :)
  • mikasaur, on 01/18/2008, -3/+17They made it so.
  • kyouteki, on 01/18/2008, -2/+16I need video, now.
  • overridemymind, on 01/18/2008, -1/+15They already are. We got a drydock hiding on the dark side o the moon.
  • saleem, on 01/18/2008, -0/+14When you give them more than 0.0005% of the budget..
  • alienman, on 01/18/2008, -4/+17WOOT! Sylar plays Spock :D
  • CravenTwain, on 01/18/2008, -0/+13Those "turbines" were hidden behind big orange domes on the TV series version. They probably will be in the movie too.
  • shiftclick, on 01/18/2008, -1/+13Thank you for posting Ali G. Didn't you say you weren't going to do Borat or Ali G. anymore?
  • Kronos6948, on 01/18/2008, -1/+13Remember in TOS, how the lights spun behind the Bussard collectors? Well, that's what made them spin.
  • sean_d2345, on 01/18/2008, -2/+14True but it's still cool
  • SilasTomorrow, on 01/18/2008, -0/+12'Digga please' will easily be the most repeated and overused comment this year. I plan on using it today!
  • TalkingBanana, on 01/18/2008, -3/+14Well said
  • Jastor00, on 01/18/2008, -0/+11They're not turbines, unless something's changed. They're Bussard collectors, designed to pull in interstellar hydrogen to use for fuel.
  • NeoCortex, on 01/18/2008, -0/+10Well, they already made one Enterprise. Maybe the next model will have the warp nacelles installed.
  • Hoogs, on 01/18/2008, -1/+11How was it (both the trailer and the movie)?
  • scankia, on 01/18/2008, -1/+11The warp 4.5 engines were experimental and exclusive to the enterprise because they used at the time borrowed non human tech, the transporter ***** up numerous times, and people were scared ***** less the first 2 seasons of using it. The aesthetics and perceived technological inferiority were more than likely changed in general design philosophy moving from our current era which Archers Enterprise was closer to into the far off future of TOS that we would have more trouble relating with now.
  • bulkhater, on 01/18/2008, -0/+10 joebarone,

    Please, PLEASE let's just forget the Holodecks. Nothing good ever came of them.
  • TheTrueAPlus, on 01/18/2008, -0/+10http://www.gabekoerner.com/ent/ There are videos!!!!!!!
  • Nowheredan, on 01/18/2008, -0/+10You don't have any idea what you're talking about, do you?
