Finally! A first peek at the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek 11.
Here are my thoughts based on the photo above, which is from the Star Trek trailer:

- I know we can’t see the entire thing, but it looks like they’ve applied the same mosaic skin texture to the ship that was in the early Star Trek movie versions of the refitted Enterprise.
- While we’re seeing them with perspective in the shot above, it looks like the nacelles are cylindrical in shape, just as they were in the original design.
- The nacelles have the same warp coil intercooler intakes angled inwards at 45 degrees that the original ship had. (Yes, I am a full-on Trek geek.)
- It looks like they’re staying with the same outline and dimensions, at least on the saucer section of the hull.
Overall it looks to me like they took the details from the redesign that was done for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and applied them to the original NCC-1701.
Based on what I see above, my Trek fan freakout factor meter is registering very low. It looks like they are indeed trying to be faithful to the original and appease the existing fanbase.
What do you think?

Steve,you remind me of me with my multiple posts on the JLA and Batman film! haha
Seriously tho,nice posts.
Wow,Vic! A 46 year old Trek fan,eh? COOL! I never would’ve guessed.
If this film is good enough for you (so far anyway) then it’s good enough for me (and should be for everyone else).
I can’t wait to see the trailer!!!
Again,maybe I’m so excited about this one cuz I’m not as familiar with Trek as the rest of you are.
I’ve followed TOS and TNG to a degree,but that’s about it for me.
Perhaps that’s why this one has got me so pschyed?
pschyed=psyched
Sorry.
My life coach says the same thing KEL?^
But that I do show signs of improvment and healing.

Whatever you do don’t read my Sarah Connor comments, its just blah blah blah Skynet blah blah blah.
LOL,Steve!
Seriously tho,you’re fine. :-p
The new Enterprise looks cool-cant wait to see a full picture of NCC-1701
You know some people saw those pictures of the uss enterprise where it looked like above earth and you could see the inside of the nacelles. Well i have a few pics where it shows the front of the enterprise and i compared the front of the 2 nacelles together and i swear they look exactly the same, both pics shows both nacelles to be bulbous at the front. Also in the trailer where the camera is coming up from under the saucer,is you look at where the captains yacht should be you would see that there are 2 square holes above the yacht. Its like that in the refit version of the uss enterprise in the star trek movie. So I dont know maybe in the new movie there gonna do like a mix of the original, pre refit design, and the end refit all on one ship.
