With Batman, they could get away with it. The character has other well-known nicknames. With Star Trek, not so much. Kind of silly to shoot it in the foot on titling. No, I expect the colon treatment, sort of like Abrams did with M:I 4. (Though, for an already placed colon, they had to resort to a hyphen to make the point.

How about JJ Abrams Presents “Steaming Pile of Polished Turd In Space” as a title, based on the hatchet job he did on the last one. Yup I’m one of the few Trek fans who didnt jerk themselves silly over the reboot, hated it with a passion and have no real desire to see this one.

The Star Trek legacy should have the name sake in the title.

Hyperbole. He stated no such thing for a preference.

Also, believe it or not it is entirely plausible to film action scenes without resorting to shaky-cam techniques or lens flares. The original Star Wars films, Indiana Jones films, Aliens, Predator and more did this to great effect.

No doubt you’d prefer long talky scenes where everyone sits around a table discussing etiquette and nothing actually happens? Just rent Phantom Menace.

I’ll be much happier with the reboot if they manage to keep the camera still on an actor or scene for more than three point two seconds, as in the previous film!!!!
Aside from the glaring plot holes, the pretty crap acting (from a couple of the actors), and the constant need for lens flares the most vomit inducing thing about the whole film was that JJ didn’t realise that some of us don’t like the camera being tossed around as though it were in an all night rave!
Two things I hope for from this film are:1) Scenes where the camera stays still and doesn’t pan/zoom/jiggle for more than twenty five seconds, 2) a plot that doesn’t have MASSIVE holes in it.
If these criterion aren’t met, then I guess I’ll go back to my original analysis that it just isn’t Star Trek.
Peace (and long life).

Didn’t hurt Batman did it?
