Epic and funny to boot!

i gotta admit this made laugh out loud. i remember seeing arena for the first time the other day.

Best promo, EVER!

This kids still got it!

GREAT ad….Shitty game!

The whole point of ‘Arena’ was NOT killing the Gorn, the notion of ‘Misunderstanding’ and Mercy were what Star Trek was…back then. Now there’s a game where all you do is KILL THE GORN. As the Metrons said, maybe in 1000 years we will have actually evolved

LOL!

AWESOMENESS

4 – Sounds like you have played the game to know the whole thing, and that ‘all you do is kill the gorn’….? How about you play the thing before you judge it.

That’s awesome!

Hilarious and awesome too !

Wonder if it’s Bobby Clark!

At least you can now say Shatner got involved in the new Trek. And it involved a classic Shatner scene.

The bit with Shatner was BETTER than the game promo–now THAT is what a Gorn is supposed to look like, not some Jurassic Park ripoff.

The game looks like utter crap. Star Trek isn’t about just “point and shoot” action, there’s some level of thought involved.

Graphics look pretty subpar as well.

Awesome. That made my day!

Kirk vs Gorn 2: We’re too old for this sh*t!

That was funny. Grumpy Old Men…in space!

Does anybody else just get an infinite loading screen?

It happens to me with several clips on Yahoo! Movies. Could it be region-locked (I’m in Sweden)?

Snort! That was actually funny.

Shatner finally got his wish. To be attached to a current Star Trek project.
Congrats! A funny promo.

That looked more fun than the game. When are we going to have a Shatner/Gorn game series? LOL

I had the same infinite loading problem. Found it on YouTube here adn watched it:

That’s hilarious. I loved it. “Now you’re just over-acting.” XD
Shatner is the best.

Thank you, o groker of Spock :)

omg this is awesome!

I’m really looking forward to this game, it looks like too much fun. And the promo was great. How can that man be 82?? So much energy! In the time I’ve taken to watch the spot and write this, Shatner has probably done a few voice-overs, played some paintball and inked a deal for a new TV series. Nice gene pool Shat, wish I could take a dip!

I laughed so hard!

This was a funny ad. I’m glad that Shatner has found a way to stay involved with Trek without having to be in the new movies.

Oh my God, the Gorn really needs to shed some skin if he hopes to be in the next movie. And those compound eyes could use a lift.

That was absolutely priceless. What a treat.

…and I just bought a PS3, so I might ‘rent’ the game. Rent.

This is off subject but here is a new image of the bridge of the ship where John Harrison is seen sitting in the captains chair in the trailer. Also notice the bald headed fellow at the navigator position. Could that be Joseph Gatt’s character? Also notice the bridge crews uniforms.

@13~ Why cant star trek be a shooter except in your own mind? And how the hell do you know what is involved in the game? You dont know crap about it except what has been shown and your all set to condemn it not based on real facts, but your own uninformed and judgemental opinion. Give the damn thing a chance before you bury it. Do you honestly think every species starfleet comes across will be enlightened and benevolent? I would hope you dont get cut to shreds while your sitting in the corner giving thought to the hostile invasion going on around you. And the graphics look good to me, but I guess my visual perception has not been spoiled by constantly changing and never satisfied gamer expectations, like spoiled children.

Loved the clip!

SPECTACULAR!!!

I want Shatner back ST III and I don’t care how old he is. Leonard Nimoy was great in Star Trek 09, I’m sure Shatner would be equally good.

AWESOME!!

I believe the bald guy is Captain Robau. Old photo.

I love Bill!!!!!!!!111!!!!1111!!!!!one!!!!!

The Gorn has aged well compared to Mark Hamill. Oops, wrong thread!

fantastic! just need to make some gun powder!

That is hilarious.

Epic real life Shatner and Gorn make that game look bad.

If Id had milk it woulda came out my nose. Love it ! And remember Orci says the game is canon .

definitely EPIC… loved it!!!

;-) :-)

@36 Kirks Girdle

Not a chance. It’s a new image from the Empire magazine this week. The dark bridge floors is the same floor in the international trailer that Kirk is laying on after Harrison beats the tar out of him.

I loved that. Every bit of it.

Hilarious.

And this is exactly why Abrams doesn’t want him in his movie.

All hail the Shat. Still can’t believe he’s 82.

Abrams is an utter fool for not filming the Orci scene in Trek 09.

Bob Orci – YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

I had the thought tghe other when somone was writing about Trek and it’s turn to “action”… when you really think back almost every episode of TOS has phasers, photons or fisticuffs. Im not that well vered on thee other series (maybe someone can chime in). Waaaaaay back in the day I believe TV GUIDE designated Trek as ” sci fi- action”

That is great stuff! Shatner is everywhere! THE man! My only beef is Shatner’s Kirk used to punch people in the back with his fist; hitting all the supposed pressure points. Part of the show no one’s ever delved into. There’s a chapter in some future Trek book right there. I know there had to have been some sort of explained philosophy on the stunt coordinator’s part. I mean, it was in several fights.

Still,….long live the Shat!

The Shat rules!! And so does the Gorn.
