The scene with Uhura undressing when she gets home is a cliche. It’s THE #1 cliche of movies and TV, today… Every heroine/ starlet/ young actress seems to have a contractual obligation to perform the same ’sexploitation’ scene. Any girl who arrives home must get undressed as soon as she’s closed the front door.
She may not even wait until entering the bedroom or bathroom. Soon as she’s indoors, it’s straight into the required strip show, often scattering items of clothing around the hallway, living room or lounge. There are limited options: 1. chats to flatmate or cat while undressing, or she’s alone in empty house.
2. stripped for a quick shower, or just undressing to ‘slip into something more comfortable’.
Blatantly voyeuristic cliche? Yesm but who’s complaining (a few uptight feminists)? Not me. However, it’s become so utterly predictable and just routine nowadays, even in PG certificate family entertainments, that a majority of directors must have this noted in bold type on their checklist of essential shots: Leading lady, kit off, ASAP.

I am very concerned after seeing both trailers…the first ‘teaser’ showing what appear to be welders working on the StarShip, and this second trailer showing, again, the StarShip on the surface!?! What in the heck are they thinking? Ships are built in orbit, NOT in a gravitational field, on a planet’s surface!!!

ALSO, please note a couple of frames showing Zachary Quinto (as ‘Spock’) where the image is reversed….the StarFleet emblem is on the wrong side. If this kind of sloppiness is any indication of the finished product, well……

The movie will only work if the same partnership between the inner santum of Kirk/Spock/McCoy and then the ourter-one Scotty/Sulu/Checkoff/O’ura. The charatecters are interwined to each other; a puzzle that works well and fit properly in the right places.

I hope Abrams took time to developed the characters and not depending on too much Special Effects
