Mar 30 2009The Most Amorphous 'Star Trek' Poster Yet!
Is all this motion blurring really confusing for anyone else? The only truly effective way to portray vehicle speed is by showing how high a girl's skirt is blown up as she's driven past.

So...
I guess they're trying to show how fast it can back up(?)

Instead of "The future begins," shouldn't the top of the poster read "I want to believe"?

@4
"The future begins..." to learn to drive a starship and immediately backs through the garage door, coming to rest with the rear end stuck in a bushy nebula.

I wish JJ Abrams an early and agonising death and hereby lay a thousand curses upon the wombs of his daughters, should he have any.

Funny, you would at least think they'd make the Enterprise moving forward. The speed streaks make it look like its going backwards. I wonder if this is a subtle comment on the movie...

Spock drinks Starbucks in the opening scene.

Everyone! The "backwards" effect is clearly meant to illustrate the fluid nature of the space-time continuum and underscore the "alternative reality" aspect of the movie (or don't you read spoilers?) Clearly the Enterprise is warping backwards INTO the future and uh...
I think the drugs just wore off. Damn.

Am I the only one who sees a guy wrapped in a bedsheet? or a ghost?

Not a motion blur, but shadows being cast from an intense light source behind. Maybe the ship is coming out of hyper-drive. The crew must have replaced the negative power coupling, just like '3PO suggested.
Uh...wait...

This is what the poster is supposed to look like, right as you're getting hit in the head with a brick for waiting in line to go see it. The spacecraft used to not be blurry but that part of your brain no longer works. Good thing you can still read.

It's actually a teaser for what happens at the end of the movie ;)
