US poster = intriguing. Begs the question “What am I going to see?”

Euro posters = busy. Try to show the entire movie on posters. Just not successful in my book.

What interests me is the mindset of the cultures. I’m betting that these posters cater to the audiences’ preferences. I’m half-Japanese, and from what I understand of that side of my heritage, there’s a tendency toward big and bold in font usage. Hence the intensity of the text (much to my personal disliking).

@john: A “failed niche pc product”? If $24 billion in revenue is a failure, then I suppose you’re right.

Somebody said the USA poster looks “Apple-ish”. He meant it as a compliment.
Unbelievable.
A failed niche pc product made for people who can’t handle real computers.
Oh, and a Sony/Creative Technologies knock-off that breaks easily and has yet to discover drag-and-drop.
The future is better than that…I assure you.
Go Trek!

Yeahh… Agree that U.S.A poster is great and awesome. Spanish poster is also quite good… but hey! Where’s the sign of Star Trek??? The poorest i think is Japanese. Seems like ‘3 minutes done’ poster and with clumsy tagline: ‘Sono otoko no nawa James T.Kirk’ which means ‘That man’s name is James T.Kirk’.

Too American?

Why is being ashamed of this country so popular. The last administration wasn’t so hot — agreed. But really, would anyone here rather live anywhere else? At least everyone in America has the right to complain about their conditions — a right that’s clearly exercised liberally.

USA poster rocks.

I think the UK and Euro posters are much slicker than the US (which looks more like art than a “movie poster”.)
And wouldn’t you think that someone in the Japanese office would have noticed that the only object in the poster (besides the fire) looks more like the Star Wars’ Death Star than anything Trek?
Don’t they show these things to a focus group prior to releasing?

#286 That color alignment is national flag of a certain contry. Was it something intentional?
