'Star Trek' Teaser Description

Here’s the Star Trek trailer description. Hope you can use it.

Slow Paramount logo.

Bad Robot logo.

Black, suddenly some sparks (very saturated, Michael Bay looking cinematography)

We hear an old NASA radio countdown: “30 sec and counting.”

Close up of a timeless guy with goggles leaning down doing some weilding and sparks flying around.

He lifts his googles — slightly futuristic head covering. It’s not a space suit, btw.

The dude leans down and wields some more — he’s standing on big metal.

FROM DIRECTOR J.J. ABRAMS” (blue font with a nice lens flare)

Some Kennedy speech about space flight: “The eyes of the world now look to space.”

People walking around the saucer section. The wielders are everywhere, showing size.

We hear, “The Eagle has landed.”

Huge overhead shot pans across, suddenly showing what looks like miles of scaffolding underneath.

Title: “THE FUTURE BEGINS

Really impressive shot from by the nacelle(?) of people all over the ship, and you can see a huge industrialize city or shipyard in the background. It’s being built on Earth, not in space.

Neil Armstrong: “One small step for man…”

Camera slowly cranes up over the whole saucer section.

Then we hear then Leonard Nimoy’s line: “Space, the final frontier,” and the familiar “Star Trek” theme horns.

The shot continues, revealing the writing on the top of the saucer — “U.S.S. Enterprise,” and these huge aircraft-like warp engines in the background. Technically, the first reveal of what we’re seeing.

Just the Starfleet log (no title)

Title card: “UNDER CONSTRUCTION

CHRISTMAS 2008”

Overall, really great teaser (by the definition of the term). Very industrial. I’m most intrigued by the background Earth stuff.

the star trek movie

I have no problem with what i have seen of the teaser..though i do have the problem with the premise..But i will live with it..From what i remember reading once in a tech manual the origional ncc-1701 enterprise was built both..the sections were built on earth and then assembled as one in space.

Though i admit i am trying to go by memory and it isn’t the greatest..The reason i mention this is in the next gen manual..the enterprise d was too large to be even considered built in atmosphere..It was one of the firt ones that was constructed entirely in space.

Again i am going by memory since i hadn’t read the book in several years.

Have fun all

    Wielding

    “Wield” is defined as:

    1. To handle (a weapon or tool, for example) with skill and ease.
    2. To exercise (authority or influence, for example) effectively.

    So I assume the “wielding” is the second definition here?

    I hope there is a lot of welding going on.

    'Cloverfield' to see 'Star Trek' teaser trailer?

    I’m curious how many people will pay to see “Cloverfield” just (or in large part) to see the “Star Trek” teaser trailer.

    As a critic, I know I was most stoked for my “I Am Legend” screening because I knew I’d get “The Dark Knight” prologue before it.

    The effect of a hot-ticket trailer on the featured presentation would be an interesting box-office figure to measure.

    Interesting

    I heard the saucer is the movie Enterprise not the television one, that would be bad.

    Also the Enterprise was built in orbit, as was established in the series so how come it’s on earth?

    THEATER, TV, DVD & BLU-RAY REVIEWS

    • Amelia

      CHICAGO – It seems downright sad that “Amelia,” a movie that was so widely predicted to be a part of the 2009 awards season, would be released on Blu-ray and DVD on the same day as the Oscar announcements. On paper, “Amelia” seemed like Oscar bait through and through with important subject matter headlined by one of the few women to have more than one Oscar. On Blu-ray, it’s easy to see why this cinematic plane crashed and burned.

    • Fear and Loathing BD

      CHICAGO – I know what you’re thinking: What do “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and “Mystic River” have in common? Nothing at all other than a Blu-ray release date of February 2nd, 2010. Oh, and they’re two films you should probably own if you have a Blu-ray player.
