Here’s a first look at J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek reboot due out next Christmas. It is, quite literally, just the intro sequence from the original ’60s television show with two notable differences. Check it out after the jump.
First, instead of a chirpy, young Shatner talking about frontiers and whatnot, we get super-old Nimoy on monologue duty. This is especially strange considering Abrams’ picture is supposed to feature these characters as ambitious young go-getters. The second difference is that, traditionally, the Enterprise bursts into the screen going crazy space-fast at the end of the monologue. Here it’s just sitting in some kind of giant space shoebox. What the hell man? For a series you’re trying to infuse with new life, this teaser is pretty lifeless.
Get it while it’s hot and still available on the internet, kids. This one won’t be up long.
