What possible reason could there be for a device to be that clunky and stupid looking. That earplug thing looks as retarded as it did in the 60′s.

And not terribly different from the original TV show. I wish there was a pic of an ordinary tricorder (the picture is of Dr. McCoy's medical tricorder, which was tubular in shape on the show too, as opposed to the rectangular shape of most tricorders). I'm curious what they look like! The trailers look good, but I am a bit worried about the movie. In the original series Spock was already on the Enterprise, serving under Captain Pike, while Kirk was still an ensign (he may have been in the Academy during part of Spock's original tenure on the Enterprise). I worry that they are going to make Spock and Kirk contemporaries. Of course, I guess it is a reboot and need not pay a lot of attention to the original series continuity.

That said, I am really hoping this movie redeems the franchise. The last movie was Nemesis, and it was nothing to write home about. Using the cast of TNG again was a bad idea, and that certainly did not make the story any more interesting. They would have gotten farther using the cast of Voyager. There is actually an interesting story that could be told with Voyager; What happened when they got home? I have a cautious optimism about this movie, and I am hoping it will redefine what you can do with a Star Trek movie much the same way as Casino Royale redefined what you can do with a Bond movie. The trailers look decent enough, and I think the story they have will be interesting, and more importantly: a story meant to be told via a movie and not a TV series.
