New Star Trek Poster Looks Like A Rorschach Test

Remember those really fantastic international Star Trek posters I showed you earlier in the week? Well now it’s America’s turn for a fresh one sheet, and we’re being stuck with this monstrosity, released moments ago on MySpace:

14 New Star Trek Poster Looks Like A Rorschach Test

It’s like someone spilled ink on a sheet and then called it the Enterprise. I know Paramount is a little leery of associating their movie with anything as geeky as, you know, a Star Trek movie, but hiding the Enterprise behind an old sheet isn’t going to make it any less of a science fiction movie.

I can read, so, I know the entire intarwebs is a-hatin' on the Star Trek poster, but I gotta say, I LOVE it. It's bold and stylish, and it breathes new life into an iconic image - entirely in keeping with everything I've seen from Abram's film. If all that looks like to you is a bedsheet thrown over the Enterprise, I'd suggest this might not be a film you'll enjoy.

I don't think you can judge whether you'll enjoy a film based on the poster. I mean the trailers look fantastic, the movie looks great. Ultimately it's just a poster. I don't hate it quite as much as some people do, but it really does look like a bedsheet! I get what they're going for though, and like I said, at least it's better than those boring character posters we've had till now.

Don't you think it could be a warp representation? I'm not even a super trekkie and I thought that might be an explanation.

don't mind me thought, just abstracting

Oh that's definitely what it's supposed to be Alex, but it still looks like the Enterprise photographed through an old sheet.
