Some significant plot information regarding the new Star Trek movie has come our way. If you read Screen Rant regularly, you’ll recall that back in October we stated that there would be Klingons in the new film. This was supposedly debunked by other sites, but lo and behold, a few days ago a slip of the lip by Anton Yelchin who plays Chekov in the Star Trek 11 apparently confirmed that Klingons will indeed appear in the film.
Well now we’ve come across some new information about the plot regarding the USS Enterprise, the timeline aspect of the film, and a whopper of a plot spoiler that’s so huge that I have decided not to reveal it.
Before I go on I want to say that I know we’re all hungry for information on Star Trek (as well as other sci-fi and fantasy movies), but I think that sometimes we can tend to get carried away and end up taking away some of the joy of seeing a movie for the first time by knowing too much about it when we finally sit down to watch it.

Personally, that makes it hard to cover movie news sometimes because while I want to pass on what I know about a particular movie, sometimes I avoid reading a story because I myself don’t want to see a spoiler.
So… while I’ll share some of what I know, I’m going to hold some things back (and don’t email me asking what they were because I won’t tell you).
However, if you want to read some minor spoilers, feel free to read on. If you DON’T want any more story details, stop reading now.

The story does not just involve time travel. It actually explores alternate timelines, and jumps between them quite a bit.
While from what we’ve seen so far it seems like they’re being very faithful to the original Enterprise design, in an alternate timeline there will be a significantly different version of the NCC-1701. From what I’ve been told it will be a very kick-ass version - essentially an all-out warship.
Some of the film will also take place in the time of Star Trek: The Next Generation, although I won’t say at what point in the film.
Star Trek opens on Christmas Day 2008.

The lackluster & depressing Nemesis is as horrible as you’ve heard. That’s why you’ve heard so many people say that it’s horrible.
When you treat intelligent fans like they are stupid, you lose the fans. But it’s been said better - just look at the sad comments about Nemesis on Amazon.com.
Need I remind you that Nemesis was not the success that previous ST movies were? As a matter of fact, the studio was embarrassed to admit that Nemesis barely broke even. Based upon it’s meager profits, it wasn’t even worth making.
Why did it do so poorly? Before the Original Series faithful rely more on word-of-mouth than studio marketing. Also, need I remind you that there are many Star Trek fans amougst the popular movie reviewers.
But Nemesis was more than that - it was a warning to Paramount to not take Trek fans for granted. It absolutely proves beyond any doubt that some Trek is NOT better than any Trek. Nemesis proved that reruns of the original series were better than “any Trek”.
I guess my point was a little more wide-sweeping than just Nemesis. I was referring to TV and movies both. Plus, even the original series has been knocked by some for its cheesy costumes, bad sfx, and the naivety of no war or hunger, etc. Not my opinion, but it’s out there. I suppose the only thing I think we should worry about is other actors portraying Kirk, Spock, etc. That could bomb. Or it could rock: how many James Bonds have there been? Or Dr. Whos? Anyway, personally, I’d rather have a Next Generation-caliber TV series than a movie, but that’s just me.
Yeah Jerry.
One big prob with recasting Kirk and Spock is that it will be difficult to capture the same feel since shatner and nimoy were those characters.
I’m totally with you Jerry that paramount should have gone forward with a next gen tv series. !!
What’s the big spoiler that you won’t reveal? Is it about Vulcan being destroyed?
