I would love to have the shot of the Enterprise ‘rising’ at Saturn from the new movie as my desktop wallpaper. Does anyone know where I can a 1680×1050 version of it? I’m willing to pay for it as well if it’s for sale anywhere.

Thanks,
-Bill

Gabe Koerner’s design is so much more aesthetically pleasing. The film version looks like something designed by a non-fan of the show. I wonder how seriously the powers that be thought about this re-design of Star Trek’s most important character. Any 3-view drawings of Gabe’s ship anywhere?

This eyesore is what happens when you take non-Trekkies and let them work on a Star Trek film. It looks like what a five year old might come up with after you showed them a five second clip of the Original Enterprise. In fact, I’m not entirely sure that isn’t how they came up with this insult to the name of Enterprise.

If the people employed to make the new movie were Trekkies themselves, our Gabe could have ended up being the guy to design her – alas, I bet they don’t even know who he is. One of the few drawbacks in not signing up committed fans to make your movie. But, in saying that, I think JJ Abrams and his team were still the right people for the job. JJ himself is one of the brightest young things in Hollywood….and I think he’s going to do us a great movie.

I’d just like to say, too, that I think Gabe is a hell of a cool guy. The difference between the 14 year old rather stiff nerd in Trekkies, and the relaxed, cool guy sat there with his girlfriend (wife?) in Trekkies 2 was astonishing. Amazing what a few years does for a man. Now he’s hilariously funny (in the good sense), cool and damn well knows his shit. God love ya, Gabe.

First thing I heard, upon first seeing the Churcherprise, was Kermit the Frog singing, “Rubber ducky, you’re the one…”

The Churcherprise–every bathtub should have one.

Bottom Line: Koerner’s version is a 1000x better and more respectful to the original design. The actual design being used in the movie is terribly ugly and out of proportion. I hope that just this once the filmmakers completely overhaul the design (maybe use Koerner’s). I don’t care if it delays the movie release THAT CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO BE ON SCREEN. Why do producers feel alienating Star Trek fans will bring them into the theater?

I’m not much of a purest, and I’m all for updating things for the sake of this movie, but I’m really not happy with the new Enterprise. We have only seen it from the one angle, so perhaps it’s just that, but I just don’t like the design.

Koerner’s version is far closer to what I imagined the Enterprise to look like in this movie.

Addendum to 56;

Windows on a ship be they some impossible to destroy material are a frightening lack of detailed thought. I would worry more about the general brightness of light flooding into such windows blinding the bridge crew. The obvious window on the Kelvin made me RAGE. As for the Enterprise time will tell if it is not just some idiotic idea to place the Bridge viewer on the B decks (d or e if the sacle seen so far holds) so you have the saucer obscuring a lot of important visual information.

As time has gone by only the windows on the bridge (least by what we have seen) and the LOOK AT MY PENOR deflector dish area of the ship put me off. As what has been said all the details on their own are great even brilliant, but put together they clash.

Ok Doc Image here’s my stab at it. Pardon my lack of computer animation accumen but I prefer the old fashioned way.

For what it’s worth, Lord Garth’s New Movie Enterprise
