I seriously don't see them re-re-designing the enterprise, I think we have to live with the one they have given us, although if it gets blown to bits then we can all start hoping they'll dust off the TMP refit again

So you guys will have an extra year to complain and then go see it anyway.
Congrats.
LOL! I didn't even notice the flares in Kirk's eyes! :thumbsup
Needs more Bones! Urban was without a doubt the best thing in the last Trek film.
And I wouldn't be against them recasting Scotty. I think Pegg is brilliant but he was totally miscast in this.
I had read somewhere that Abrams was so taken with the idea that the Enterprise was brand new, and that the Star Trek future was so "bright and hopeful", that he just went nuts with those lens flares (which were for the most part done on-set by shining lights directly into the camera lens from just out of frame - not a an effect added in post).
Since the release though Abrams has admitted that maybe he went a little overboard on the flares.

It is tough for a director to break the framework of a franchise as set in its ways as Star Trek. Abrams Did it !! :eek In a cool way !! :cool
This gives the franchise a rebirth - endless possibilities for a future.
Several of the movies almost killed it - Most notably STAR TREK V - one of the worst films ever made -
Next to Star Trek V - ( even the following horrible films looked GOOD )
Robot Monster - had plot and interesting characters in comparison :eek
... or Leonard Part 6 - :sick
.. or Eddie Murohy in Pluto Nash ..... :confused :thumbsdown Pluto Nash was a masterpeice next to Star Trek V - :cry OMG I can't believe I even said that ....
Maybe Star Trek five needed some lens flare ... and plot ... and good lines ... and well ... it needed just about eveything .... It did produce my favorite Star Trek prop - the assault phaser. And Lt Uhuras Fan Dance ... :$

The other films don't get JJ out of jail for me. He attempted TOS remake and that means certain things needed to be there.
JJ pretty much changed so much it's not Star Trek to me in any important way. So maybe he made it cool, but I don't recognize it as Star Trek.
Some character impersonations, a cameo, and a ship with nacelles and saucer doesn't for Star Trek make for me.
It's JJ Trek and it's a different animal, I will always look at it non-canon and a sad departure from what could have been.
I hope they will using the extra time to add even more lense flare. Let's face it, there was not enough in the last film, and it ruined the film for me.
Well, who would you rather get to direct Trek? Michael Bay? Ewwww, now that is an EVIL thought.
Amen to that. How anyone thinks that Abrams is a good storyteller, let alone how he continues to get work, is beyond me. The fact that he rode the fence is the thing that ticked me off. If you're going to be true to the canon of the show, then do it. If you're going to do a re-imagining and go in a different direction, then do that. Riding the fence and remaking Star Wars as a Star Trek film is insulting.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm just glad you all have another opportunity to show me how clever you are with LENS FLARE JOKES!
I loved every single thing about ST09. The only way that movie could have been better was if I was in it.
