Of course, this is just my immediate impression, but it seems they gave this crew a more 90's TNG look--with the hairstyles, the uniforms and maybe even with the lighting. It's much more "familiar"-looking anyway. Compare these to the photos and trailer footage we’ve seen of our heroes.

What we know is the Kelvin is from a generation before Kirk and their scene kicks off the movie. So this could be a pretty cool way of starting us all out with a familiar feeling and then, when the timeline gets screwed up, we fast forward to a 2008 modern but "unfamiliar" look--for Trek.

If it holds true, that could be a very clever way of segueing to a new vision, if only in a stylistic sense; a vision which ironically depicts a time period from before the retro look of 1966 Trek.


I actually thought these new screen shots have a more TOS feel to them with the shadowy lighting. One of the guys even has that 60s Brylcream haircut. They even have a TAS feel with the weird alien on the bridge like in TAS. heh Even the Kelvin itself more closely resembles the TOS starships.

Really curious to see this.

There once was a man named Scorned,
whose posts were more offensive than porn.
He posted one too many,
got kicked out on his fanny,
and all the while he had been warned.
