Thanks to The Movie Blog, I saw this piece about some spoilers over at Trek Movie, in which they detail some of the key ships that we’ll see in the latest Star Trek sequel.
One of my favorite parts of the Star Trek movies isn’t always the stories and characters, but the starships themselves. I think it stems from my love of building models as a kid. I believe I built about 3-4 different models of the USS Enterprise, although I’m pretty sure they all sucked.
Anyways, here are the main points from the article. Read the entire thing over at The Movie Blog.
- 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?)
I’m looking forward to this even though I am not a big Trekkie fan at all. I really am impressed with J.J. Abrams work so far and so I’m rooting for him to do well on this.

Yeah, I agree Ape. I’ve sort of grown a bit tired of Trek since it really got boring and old, but hopefully Abrams can re-imagine something awesome here.
Hopefully he’ll keep the camera still so we can actually see this movie…damn shaking…
It could have been your eyes jiggling around…
