    I guess I'll go with the first poll option, since I'm planning on seeing it regardless. Plus, I think it looks pretty cool.

     

    and why is the U.S.S Enterprise NCC-1701 being Built on Earth and not in Utopia Plantia Yards

     

    Because that's where it's supposed to be built. According to the dedication plaque in TOS, the Enterprise was built in San Fransisco. (Utopia Planitia is on Mars... also on the surface).

     

    I voted "not too sure about the reboot stuff"

     

    The San Fransisco Fleet Yards are in earth orbit. http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/San_Francisco_Fleet_Yards

     

    As are Utopia Planitia. http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Federation_shipyards

    I agree, First Contact is actually my favorite Trek film, Insurrection was also very good (a bit weak but still good), Generations was pretty good except for killing Kirk and Nemesis was okay the whole thing with young Picard being bald and other details like that just really get on my nerves.

    Here's a neat article I read today:

     

    "Star Trek" fans — and they are legion — have been eagerly anticipating the movie for more than a year. As excited as they are, however, many have expressed trepidations that the film will be a "reboot" and will reconfigure the fictional history of the "Trek" universe they have followed so ardently.

    Abrams and his writers have promised to be faithful to the spirit of "Star Trek" and its fan base.

     

    This part concerns me. There is a "history" already set. If you are "reconfiguring" that history then you aren't being faithful to the spirit of Star Trek. I was really excited when I heard that they were making this movie, really looking forward to it. Now I'm not too sure.

     

    Maybe I'll be wrong, hopefully I'll be wrong but I have the sinking feeling that picking Abrams to do this movie may have been a huge mistake that in the end could end up killing the franchise as far as future projects go.

     

    I agree. It already seems to focus too much on the sex/violence, but if they reconfigure the existing history of the Star Trek universe I will not be happy :laugh:

     

    Also, Checkov better not be able to pronounce his Vs.
