IT SUCKS, and he wants to build as much HYPE as he can, because he's gotta pay back the money he used on his Trek RIP OFFor, he's just plain EMBARASSED. The movie has been in the can for almost 2 years? Not released yet? What the hell is that? JJ Abrams is a HACK, plain and simple. I PRAY they make model kits of this thing they call "enterprise" so I can see how many different ways I can BLOW IT UP. Merry Christmas 2008!!! Thats why he has waited so long to release it..

That abomination they are calling the 'enterprise' is the UGLIEST piece of JUNK I have ever seen. Truncated, Top-Heavy, and basically stupid looking. I've seen third graders draw cooler looking ships. That, and a bunch of teenagers as the crew of a Starship..give me a break. I won't ever even rent the DVD, if there is one. JJ Abrams is a HACK, plagerizing work done by great men, hoping he can have his name on it. He nees to be sued. And what's with the communications officer getting naked? If I want to see "A-cup" boobies, I'll look in the mirror. And Spock assaulting his superior officer? He would be charged, court matialed, and IMPRISONED. This isn't Star Trek, it's a rip-off.

This new Trek looks to be exciting, but has everyone missed something here? THIS MOVIE IS NOT STAR TREK! This movie completely erases 40 years of Trek History, and will never have the chance to become series. I understand what you're saying James, and in some ways I agree with you. But making a Fake Trek is not the answer to reviving Star Trek. Star Trek was dying because they skewed so far from the original series. To me, Star Trek began to die with the death of Kirk, and the destruction of the Enterprise. Since those days, Star Trek lossed a ton of support. This movie will dirve traditional Trek fans away, and bring in temporary ones that will fade as the grass turns grey. In short, it's a temporary flick set to bring everyone to a one-night stand.....nothing more. You have got to be kidding me!

It means people are getting back into the swing of things again, which is good for Star Trek. JJ, you surely woke them up...James, great work on STP2, and thank you Paramount and CBS for allowing us all to enjoy more Trek now than we ever have!!! This is better than when I opened up my first Star Trek computer game (SFA) on Christmas morning! I love it!

Fans of the new film will stray to the television series' expecting something similar to the film, and I fear that they will catch a glimpse of the dated 60's effects and give up.

If you want to do a 21st century vision of Roddenberry's universe, Paramount, do it. But don't pitch us Star Trek and deliver Enterprise: The Next Generation. If Paramount didn't learn from that, they deserve what they get.

Abrahms who invited him onto the set, and even respected him and his purist view enough to cast a part for him as well. Jim also was good friends with Gene Roddenberry and they both shared the same views about TOS, are you going to 'DIS' Gene's views as well? As a friend of Jim's growing up I know these things first hand and they spent many hours and days together discussing many aspects and Ideas of new movies and other things, hell The Wrath of Kahn was mostly derived from ideas that Jim had created in his basement bridge set / production set as kids in his teens, he even had a small 20 movie of the destruction of the NCC 1701 filmed. It was great for what he had to work with. As far as his Elvis days a lot of that financed his newest venture ST:NV.! Besides I wonder how well you would have done in a re-creation of TOS fan-based movies and website with out of pocket expenses and a love for the TOS as it was and in SOME peoples mind should remain??? I don't usually flame people for their comments, and you're entitles to them, but you are way off base with you wild comments. Do your homework before you leap off the cliff. Check the web address below and see for yourself: http://trekmovie.com/2008/01/23/james-cawley-to-appear-in-new-star-trek-movie/ Enuf said..sorry Jim just had to voice my feelings as I still share the same views and feelings as you!

As am I but one thing oin the design if you've done your homework(webwork) is that Mr. Abrahms is taking TOS back before Enterprise! So the ships design however strange or different from the TOS version is a prototype for all practical purposes. It's like my purist view of the Ford Mustang...the new 2008 Cobra design it totally Awsome, but my view would be to bring back the original design with all the modern bells and whistles, GPS Digital dash, etc, but the point being the original design for the 1964 Mustang was far more removed from the final production desing. Thus, the new Enterprise is the ship I believe, from what I've read, is the predecessor to the NX-01 design! Anyway, I think whatever is coming down the pipe is going to be a vabulous re-vision of Roddenberry's vision and I say go get um J.J.! Oh and Jimmy (Mr. Cawley)... gotta say the New Voyages are excellent and I remember our vision when we played in your basement alkl those years ago...ROCK ON!!!
