The fact that Zachary Quinto looks so much like Leonard Nemoy freaks me out.

Eyebrows!

You can beat the shit out of that smug little cunt, that's what you can do.

Wait, that's not Zac Efron?

Ack. They look like Halloween costumes.

I don't get why they went with someone so boyish looking. He looks younger than me, and I'm 22. How the hell is anybody that young supposed to make captain?

You know, I'm getting input here that I'm reading as relatively hostile.

Go to hell.

It would probably help if Kirk didn't buy his sweater at Abercrombie and Fitch. He also looks like he should've gotten a haircut like two months ago.

I'm not nearly nerdy enough to be truly offended by this, so I won't pretend to be. However, when I was little my parents refused to allow us to have cable so all we had was this tiny black and white TV with like two channels. On Saturday nights the old Star Trek would come on at midnight and I'd stay up and watch it with my Mom and she'd explain what the episodes were trying to say (when I say little I mean about 7). I feel like I can relate to the horror that some fanboys will undoubtedly experience looking at this photo. Stop destroying what was once a beautiful thing.

whooooooooooooooooooooooo....

gives a fuck.

Star Trek the High School Musical.

Yep, those eyebrows are all kinds of wrong. And I just cannot stand Zachary Quinto. He's just a bloody rubbish actor. There, I said it. Sylar sucks and is not scary. He's like a pantomime villain run amok.

So, what's the makeup budget on this movie?

The Shatner will not be pleased.

On the spectrum from "kinda gay" to "football bat gay," this incarnation seems to fall firmly on the latter. Butt-first.

I like the guy who plays Sylar, but a "new" Star Trek is all kinds of pointless. Gene Roddenberry is long dead, his estate doesn't need any more money.

The picture makes it look like "Spock and Kirk: The Early Years" (which may even be the actual plot). Fuck and no.

"Spock and Kirk: The Early Years" (which may even be the actual plot).

Yes, that's exactly what it is.

@ BWeaves: "Does it look to you like Kirk was photoshopped into the picture, because he's not looking up? He's been shot face on. Everyone else is looking up at the camera."

Yeah, I noticed that too. It totally makes the photo look really screwy.

There's just something disturbing about the pic on the right - Smarmy Kirk & Spock Lite. Did they have to use a blow-up doll and paint it with Vulcan eyebrows? Li'l Kirk looks like he's got the right attitude but damn if it doesn't look like Spock's whispering sweet nothings into his ear about what they're going to do when they get back to the trailer. Not that there's anything wrong with that, except of course that Spock actually has standards! (Pencil me in, just to see Simon Pegg as Scotty)

whooooooooooooooooooooooo....

gives a fuck.

about some dumb baseball game!

Jay, they're about the only thing this place has got going for it, sometimes. And not even all of them, trust me.

The best part? The guy who started it is British. So we've even got a proper accent doing it! :)

To be perfectly honest, that looks like some high-budget gay porn version of Star Trek-- I think it's Spock's pout. Considering that Kirk and Spock were pretty much the first couple to have gay fanfiction porn written about them and distributed, this really seems fitting.

Excuse me whilst I go vomit out my entire digestive tract.

Holy Godtopus, they're just daring you to write the gay fanfiction aren't they?

"And Kirk ran his manly, hot tongue down the length of Spock's shapely eyebrows..."

I grossed myself out.

So, the crew of the Enterprise all got together when they were in their 20s? What is this, Trek-Babies?

The pic should be of JJ Abrams trailing the wreckage of Felicity, Alias, Lost, MI3 and Cloverfield behind him. I thought the point of making TV shows was to have a series that could be sold into syndication, which requires 5 seasons of shows, or on DVD and stepping into a franchise like MI or Startrek is to make a decent movie that carries the series forward and sets up another sequel. His TV shows collapse in the middle of the second season and he left the MI franchise buried face down with a stake through its heart although Tiny Tom was conveniently positioned to soak up most of the blame for that. Cloverfield stunk on ice. The bigger mystery than anything on Lost is how this guy gets work.

Very funny comments. You people are awesome.

But seriously, Dustin, this is the laziest post I have ever seen on Pajiba.

I miss the days when every article on Pajiba actually had a lot of input, thought and interesting commentary. Hell, go back far enough when it was almost nothing but reviews - that was the best version of this site.

I can get useless, random movie comments anywhere.

I keep making cynical comments about this, about how it's sure to suck and how I'll just netflix it to see Pegg as Scotty and Urban as McCoy and...and...and....

Back in the day I watched the original series with my dad and the very last movie the two of us saw together was First Contact. Of course I'm gonna have my ass in a multiplex seat opening night.
