I haven't seen anyone discussing this yet, so if I missed it the mods can combine/close this post.
For those that missed it, CBS reveled a teaser for the upcoming series titled Star Trek Discovery at comic-con.
The main comments coming out of it are that the CGI looks horrible and we are 6 months out from a debut with no real casting info or anything other then that short clip. They could be going for a more grungy look maybe? From what I have read, people are split on the design; either you hate it or you love it. I am in the camp that dislikes it. Its very obvious that this is not an original idea, but a rehash of a canned design that was proposed for the reboot of ST when TOS was canceled and made the jump to the big screen. People are even speculating a story where its a joint Klingon/Federation project given theres no real timeline yet.
Now I know they have stated that it wasn't the final design and things can change, but I dont see the ship changing that much with principal photography starting soon. I cant remember it out right, but im sure the Enterprise (Which I liked despite the usual view from fans) trailers (Akiraprise ftw lol) looked better then this.
Im not saying I wont give the show a chance. Quite the opposite; I am chomping at the bit to see ST on tv again, but that design just doesnt do it for me.
What do you guys think? Surely there are some trek fans on here.
