Not at all surprising. The first film was pushed back from 2008 to 2009.

I hope they use the extra time to develop a better-looking Enterprise and less bizarre looking hand props. .

I hope they will using the extra time to add even more lense flare. Let's face it, there was not enough in the last film, and it ruined the film for me.

Sparkly!

More lens flare!

and definitely more Keenser.

Tempus

Nice

Actually, I heard the film has already been shot, but post-production to remove the previously added lens flare is taking longer than expected. Thus, the delay.

CB2001

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why Abrams insists on having so much lens flare? I mean, I haven't found any answer as to why he's so infatuated with it.

I swore I saw STII in 82 though.

:P

phase pistol

I had read somewhere that Abrams was so taken with the idea that the Enterprise was brand new, and that the Star Trek future was so "bright and hopeful", that he just went nuts with those lens flares (which were for the most part done on-set by shining lights directly into the camera lens from just out of frame - not a an effect added in post).

Since the release though Abrams has admitted that maybe he went a little overboard on the flares.

Im a continuity freak.
Im really hoping we don't see re-designed uniforms and sets. I rather enjoyed the way everything looked, despite what the haters have to say on the matter.

Hopefully it will be pushed back untill 2050 that way if I'm still around I won't care by then!

micdavis

So you guys will have an extra year to complain and then go see it anyway.

Congrats.

SSgt Burton

A better story would be nice too, but I'm saving my money this round.

No way Jose!

You know what Scotty once said, "Fool me once......

CB2001

But he also said to over-estimate things so that when you pull things off right like you should, you look like a miracle worker.

I would love to see Bones get more screen time. Urban would have made Kelley proud with how closely he played the role to the original character.

^ Agreed times ten. If this film doesn't FOCUS on the trilogy that is Spock, Kirk and McCoy, I WILL throw a plush Tribble at the screen.

Obv. the delay isn't great to hear, unless it translates to quality.

Wes R

Must be bad if it was pushed back and another steaming pile of crap put in its place lol.

CommanderCody

I seriously don't see them re-re-designing the enterprise, I think we have to live with the one they have given us, although if it gets blown to bits then we can all start hoping they'll dust off the TMP refit again

Nwerke

Yes please. Story-wise, just blow the engines off in a fight. Put 'new improved' ones on it, ones that look less like a kitsch sex toy. Reduce the pylon angle at the same time; don't even bother with an explanation, nobody will care and anyone with an ounce of taste will be grateful.

Also, build an engine room set, FFS.

I'll have an extra year to look forward to it and will go and see it two or three times. The first Abrams movie saved Star Trek, let's face it.

No, really. It did.

Mole

LOL! I didn't even notice the flares in Kirk's eyes!

Needs more Bones! Urban was without a doubt the best thing in the last Trek film.

And I wouldn't be against them recasting Scotty. I think Pegg is brilliant but he was totally miscast in this.

CB2001

I agree with everyone that they got Bones right. I thought Pegg was okay, considering that there's not many other actors these days that I think could even remotely capture Scotty very well (seriously I can't think of one). Spock, I'm still a little iffy on. Sulu, I'm also iffy on. I say they need to recast Uhura (seriously, Uhura had way too much attitude in comparison to the original Uhura that she doesn't remotely invoke any similarity in appearance or attitude) and Kirk (no offense to Chris Pine. I thought he did a great job in Bottle Shock and in Unstoppable, but he just doesn't scream Kirk to me).

When they push a movie back it's because they know it sucks.

And it takes a lot for them to notice.
