Wow—I just realized that the first “Star Trek” reboot film passed the 10 year mark, this summer.

No matter how you feel about those three films, you have to admit, this is one hell of a teaser:

 
I wonder how many Trekkies went bonkers seeing the ship being built on earth! And not in shipyards in space!

*raises hand* And in Riverside, Iowa, rather than San Francisco. I was so into that teaser up until I saw the warp engines. The saucers were built in landside graving docks, so the first part of the construction montage was fine with me. But the stardrive section was built in space, the saucer then boosting up to be mated to it. As robust as they'd have to build that ship to hold itself and its incredibly massive engines up under Earth gravity... Well, I was about to say why bother when the ship is never supposed to land, but then in the very next movie it's parked in an ocean, so... *sigh*
