Gary Phaserman 0 Posted May 15, 2011 Okay, this is is the question: In the 2009 Star Trek film, there were several product placements for real-world companies within the movie...Nokia, Budweiser, and several others. Although this takes place in an alternate reality, wouldn't those companies had to have existed in the Trek universe prior to the destruction of the Kelvan for them to have been seen in the movie? Also, if we know some 21st Century companies survive, is it logical to assume others might too? Would it be out of the question to assume that maybe companies like Glock or H&K are making Phasers for the Federation, or that the Enterprise's impulse engines might be produced by either Rolls Royce or General Electric?

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 15, 2011 My opinion on the product placement was to imply this new universe is actually "our" universe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
