Im actually liking the fan art enterprise in the first post as oppose to the movie version.
Whoever coined the term "iNterprise" has it right on the money, it looks like something designed by apple. Not that I mind this as the thing that always set star trek apart was that it was a rather clean sci-fi as opposed to the other post-apocolyptic type versions of the future we see in other series.
Its just i think that they acheived the desgined by apple look in the movies from 5 onwards and TNG. I would have liked to have seen a slower progression up to that technology.
That all being said i think there is nothing wrong with doing star trek different, it is needed. Like i said I think it is unfortunate that in making an attempt at canon they may have ruined what could have been a good re-invention.
I should however reserve judgement untill I have seen it.

I think they've ruined ST when all of the "prequils" look more advanced and sophisticated than the original. All the "time-travel" and "alternate universe" are just gimicks chopped into the story to hand wave the discrepancies away. 
Enterprise should have been much more gritty and "nuts and bolts", and this new movie... bleah. I will defer watching the new movie to DVD to see the extras to find out WTF they were thinking...

That new movie version is horrible. Another CGI monstrosity. Hollywood never learns. Looks alot like the recent Speed Racer film: all glitz and bling for the teenage crowd, who won't watch it because it still has the Star Trek label on it, marking it as a geekfest.
To use the grammar of the thread title: new Enterprise does sucks.

Well, in my opinion (and haven't watched Star Trek [but I saw bits and pieces of it]) the new one is okay.

the new enterprise
The new enterprise is not that bad but i think they should maked the "neck" longer and change the color of the bussard collector from a spinning blue white to a spinning orange white.

Holy necro, Mr. Spock!
When I last posted in this 5-year-old thread I hadn't yet seen the "new" Star Trek movie.
I guess I forgot about it because when I did see it, it was one of the worst Trek movies I've ever seen. JJ Abrams utterly ruined Star Trek for me. I no longer have any interest in the franchise. Too bad, because I like the casting choices for the characters; that's the only thing he got right. The story was horrible, the script was horrible, the villain was horrible, the "science" was horrible (come on, "red matter"? Really?) I'd rather watch Star Trek V.
And yes, the new Enterprise still "does sucks".
I haven't seen the recent one, Into Darkness. I have no interest. I also fear for the future of the Star Wars franchise. Like I said four and a half years ago: "Hollywood never learns".

Meh. I think the new movie is fine. The old ones were old cheese, these ones are new cheese. The 'science' in Star Trek has been BS since the beginning. I made a short spree of older Trek films lately, and my nostalgia goggles are broken. Wrath of Khan is not exactly a masterpiece, and the others don't even measure up to it. The the fact that these ones don't either doesn't ruin the experience at all for me. :2cents:
As to the thread purpose, the design of the Enterprise, I kind of like it, though not as much as the old one. They went for a 'hot-rod' look, which I don't think worked as well as they intended. Being able to see the interiors as the camera passes by the bridge or windows is very cool, as are the other special effects, but the ship itself looks a bit too much like a show-room piece you don't dare drive in the winter, instead of a starship designed for long-term voyages in unknown territory.
That said, I absolutely loved the Kelvin. One of my favourite Trek designs ever, right after the TOS Enterprise.
