I bounce back and forth between excited and worried when talking about the upcoming Star Trek 11 movie. On the one hand, they’re breaking from traditional canon which is exactly what I think they should do… but on the other hand there have been reports that the movie is going to revolve around time travel… YET AGAIN! Seriously… have these trek writers grown so devoid of ideas that they have to continuously go back over and over and over and over and over again to the exact same plot device? Ug.
Anyway, movie blog reader Lou gives us the heads up about some possible spoilers for Star Trek 11, mostly revolving around the various roles certain ships will play in the movie:
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPRESENT POTENTIAL SPOILERS. READ AT OWN RISK
– The USS Enterprise NCC-1701 will be a major presence in the movie that will start out being commanded by Captain Pike and then later by James Kirk.
– The movie is being described as “a starship adventure”
– A Romulan ship commanded by Nero (Eric Bana). Ship will not look like the traditional Romulan vessel.
– Spock arrives in the past flying a Vulcan 1 man time travel ship. He’s not a ghost as some sites have reported
– There is another Federation ship with a big role called the USS Kelvin. The first officer of that ship is George Kirk (Captian Kirk’s dad?)
Ok, so there are a few things I’m actually pretty cool with. Seeing Kirk’s dad would be pretty cool. I like the fact that we’re going to see Pike in command of the Enterprise and then Kirk take the reigns… and Banna as a Romulan rules. However, I’m still not sold on this whole time travel plot device… and by “not sold” I mean I totally HATE it. Time will tell. For now we wait for more news and developments.
