The Enterprise Revealed First look at the new NCC-1701 Source: Entertainment Weekly
Empire feasted our eager eyes on a sizeable chunk of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek yesterday, including major action scenes, Romulans getting hacked apart by a ninja Sulu and the first introduction of one James T Kirk (click here for the full story). The only unfortunate thing was that we couldn’t show any of it to you, our readers. Luckily though the first image of the new USS Enterprise has now leaked online and you can get an eyeful below.
There was much speculation over what Abrams would do with the ship’s design with many assuming he’d go for a more industrial look by some of the clips seen of the ship under construction in the first teaser. What we actually have is a sleek, streamlined vessel that owes a great deal to the original NCC-1701 we saw in the original series.

Warning, extreme geek-talk follows. The conical nacelles with blue running lights a welcome addition and the stylised housing around the main deflector is a nice touch as well. As qualified Trekkies we give Abrams’ Enterprise our seal of approval and, while we’ll always have a soft spot for the Enterprise D, this is a worthy effort to update an iconic design.
I'm not a trekkie, so this reboot affects me much less than George Lucas's seemingly determined effort to fuck up Star Wars as much as possible. I think it looks quite cool. It's got a good vibe, until surefire future turds like The Spirit. ... Read More
I must admit that this is the first Enterprise that didn't make me go WOW (an I've loved'm all baby!!!). It does look like a mid fusion between the series version and movie version. It looks great up until the Warp Nacelles - they are ugly - and instead of gracefull the secondary hull and nacelle support struts look stubby - but I am not worried. Design is now about how something moves not what it looks like when it is still. Nick Meyer wanted the Enterprise to move like a gallion in ST-II, thou... Read More

Can't wait for this movie, and can i just say to the moaners (particularly nybras), if you don't want to watch this movie then don't watch it. If you weren't remotely interested you wouldn't even comment. I think most of you are closet trekkies with ginger hair and no girlfriend. ... Read More

Agree with "shanewire" I hate all Star Trek TV and movie as well as Lost and so on...
Not really looking forward to this film, as with Star Wars and Star Trek, both should be laid to rest.
Let’s have something new, with fresh ideas and a new era.

I don't like star trek, I hate lost and i think Jen Garner's the only good thing about alias but for some reason I'm really excited about this movie. Any other non-trekkies looking forward to it? ... Read More
This comes as well as the footage description yesterday, Ship looks cool, I'm not really a fan of Star Trek but to tell you the truth I can't wait to see this film ... I enjoyed Abrams Mission Impossible and I am a fan of Lost and now Fringe ... Since he likes reinventing things lets see him make a DOCTOR WHO movie next :-) ... Read More
I'm a big fan of the orinal series, but my fandom was beaten out of me by the seemingly unending series of spin offs. A few years back I watched through the original series again and came to a conclusion - it was brilliant and the spin-offs were just a pale imitation. So when I heard they were going to do a movie the big question was could they be loyal to the original tv series (Enterprise really dropped the ball on that front). What I've seen so far, including the ship, looks brilliant. It ke... Read More
