“Or does Jar Jar Binks really have a kiddie fan following so that 30 years from now, all the adult Star Wars fans will be waxing nostalgic for Jar Jar Binks?”

I never had the horrible thought! Lets hope no parents let them see this w/o seeing the OT.

As for the trailer…seeing it in theatres made it obvious that JJ Abrams shot way too many close ups to some point where the framing felt horrifically claustrophobic. I couldn’t make out what was going on in the space scenes (cause of the claustrophobic framing) thus I also felt it was “chaotic.”

Loved Gregs comment.

I feel like I’ve seen everything I wanted to see at this point unfortunately, and when I go see the movie only the stupid and lame stuff will be fresh to me. Uhura love story, Scotty bad comedy etc. I guess Spock hasn’t been doing much, but does anybody else who’s been following the marketing, feel like the Kirk storyline has already played out without having seen the movie?

The trailer showed before my viewing of Watchmen. It looks… chaotic. I’ll go see it though, and just hope that the chaos results from trying to cram too much action into a two minute commercial.

Greg, Jar Jar Binks asked for too much money. Seriously, why does The Clone Wars still feature Jar Jar Binks? Is Lucas ignoring the opinions of all the fanboys? Or does Jar Jar Binks really have a kiddie fan following so that 30 years from now, all the adult Star Wars fans will be waxing nostalgic for Jar Jar Binks?

John Locke, thx for the heads up. What’s going on? Are we living in some alternate timeline where the Star Trek trailer doesn’t get shown at theatres? Maybe that’s why no Star Trek was shown at the end of the Academy Awards movie previews. I wouldn’t be surprised if Star Trek doesn’t get shown anywhere around here on May 8.

How come Jar Jar Binks isn’t in the trailer?

I’m pissed as hell! I went to see Watchmen hoping to see the new Star Trek trailer in all its glory but there was no Star Trek trailer attached. Reed, if you are planning to see watchmen for the trailer don’t waste your money.

The Harold and Kumar guy definitely stood out. I don’t think that’ll work too well.

This looks more like Armageddon than Star Trek.

Reed doesn’t have much to say, but I included some of his comments in my post. Take another look.

Looks great, but there’s only one man’s opinion that counts when it comes to Star Trek. What does Reed think ?

I’ll go see it and hope for the best. Not a fan of JJ and so far the overall design of the ship and bridge seem more science fantasy than science fiction which is bumnming. But the trailer looks thrilling. Hoping for the best, but still have doubts.
