A brilliant new poster for Star Trek has hit the net.
I previously said I liked the North American release poster and that hasn’t changed, but I have a deep appreciation for the classic nature of this poster. I think I like this one most of all just because of its tribute to the original series and reminds you that this is still Star Trek. Abrams has said repeatedly that he wants to respect the source material in this sequel/reboot, but the die-hards still feel slighted by the change to the timeline.
I hope this is a very dramatic nod to those die hards that there is still a heart of Trek in this story.

lol.
Am I the only one that sees in the poster an alien slapping its forehead with some sort of jet propulsion device on it’s elbow? Can’t wait for this movie, looks to be quite epic.
Now that you mention it…
That’s an epic interpretation.
reminds me of the x files.
Yeah I can see that. Otherwise interesting poster…nothing special.

We should play the game “What does this poster look like to you!!???”
To me it looks like a really blurry shot of a shower from the bathfloor
It also looks like the silver surfer is wearing a silver cape and he just got stabbed in the back by a Star Trek toy
Oh, I can totally see the shower thing now. Good eye.
I see a ghost or a guy in a bedsheet….
rorschach in the k hole.
so now that we have pointed out that it can be identified as something else besides the ship… it looks a little to simple and rushed.
Maybe it’s just impossible to get a clear picture at warp 9…
It’s a bit artsy-fartsy … i imagine kids in sculpture glass and photography like it … but isn’t Star Trek about primary colors and the characters? I dunno what market they’re appealing to with this poster
I ALMOST liked this poster. If it was in color and if they had continued the streaks all the way around the front of the primary hull instead of having the black part in front then I would have like it.
