Is Kirk wearing a black jersey to identify him as Captain?
Maybe not a bad idea, if the colours represent rank and/or area of expertise. Why have him use the same colour as Sulu & Chekov?

Huh. The uniforms look pretty cool (and very faithful to what came before), and the cast certainly look the part ... but I wonder why they felt the need to change the look of the bridge so drastically (especially when the "classic" look was re-created so successfully in episodes of "TNG" and "ENT")?
As always, my thinking on these matters is - if the film is great, and manages to succesfully re-energise the Star Trek franchise, then I can happily live with the changes being made to the canon . Let's just hope that they remain largely superficial ones; if there's one thing that gives me hope in that area, it's the presence in this film of one Leonard Nimoy ...

The reason technology is different is we are looking at an alternative timeline for this new Trek. We're dealing with time travel and altered timelines influenced by future technology.
But then does that explaination account for the appearance of the Enterprise in "Enterprise", as opposed to tech that would look like it could evolve into TOS technology.....?
The tech/design in this forthcoming movie appears to bridge "Enterprise" with the 80s movies visually...
I think the Routh Reeve Likeness and Quinto/Nemoy Likeness is pretty much tied, with Quinto Nemoy getting the when due to the vast superiority of the Star Trek Movie compared to Superman Returns
I enjoyed the movie, and to be honest i didn't even think of why the ship looks so different.
Although the transwarp beaming (which i have never ever seen before had me scratching my head) the amount of time that had passed by the time they used the transwarp beaming, the enterprise would of been mulitple light years away.
