Product Description

Director J.J. Abrams new vision of the greatest space adventure of all time, Star Trek features a young, new crew venturing boldly where no man has gone before, as it tells the story of how the brash Starfleet cadet James T. Kirk first meets a Vulcan named Spock, and earns the Captain s chair of the Starship Enterprise. The film quickly became a critical and commercial smash hit worldwide, as audiences confirmed Trekkers and newcomers alike thrilled to a state-of-the-art action epic which both respected the legacy of Gene Roddenberry s archetypal modern myth and forged ahead into an exciting future of its own. Star Trek: The Art of the Film is a lavishly illustrated celebration of that new vision, tracing the evolution of the movie s look through a stunning array of previously unseen pre-production paintings, concept sketches, costume and set designs, unit photography and final frames. Written by New York Times-bestselling author Mark Cotta Vaz in close co-operation with the film s production team, and including a Foreword by J.J. Abrams, this is the essential companion to the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Filled with detailed, high quality art, 30 Nov 2009
By 
Parka (Singapore) - See all my reviews
(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Star Trek: The Art of the Film (Hardcover)
Length:: 0:25 Mins

It's weird this book came out months after the movie. The wait is over and I'm glad to say that this book is great.

There's plenty of cool concept art in this 160-page hardcover art book published by Titan Books. There are technical sketches and paintings for spaceships, the set, character, costumes, gadgetry, weapons and creatures. Included also are discarded ideas and concepts.

The amount of detail in the art is astonishing and texture is everywhere, 3D renderings, paintings, film stills. The bridge looks like casinos straight out of Las Vegas, with all the lights, panels, buttons and seats. The wickedly awesome looking mining vessel Narada is shown in different views and comes with close ups which will make you marvel at the engineering.

Those who love spaceships will not only find them, but also space stations and their interiors. They are all meticulously designed showing all the seams, cutting, and texture. The designs for the spaceships look really sleek.

For the non-human looking characters, there are lots of photos on the sculptures. For the creatures, there are sketches and 3D models.

This book is highly recommended to fans of sci-fi, not just Star Trek fans.

This review is from: Star Trek: The Art of the Film (Hardcover)
This book is well worth any Trekkie buying. The excellent graphics of costumes, sets, story boards, all tell of the terrific amount of work involved in bringing the final film to the screen.
BUY and ENJOY!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 4 Jan 2012
This review is from: Star Trek: The Art of the Film (Hardcover)
As a huge fan of Star Trek (both original canon and this new timeline), this book instantly seemed like a 'must have'. If you love the new film by JJ Abrams, then you are sure to love this. The book includes detailed artwork, sketches, drawings, blueprints and CG illustrations for every aspect of the film - comprising all the characters (main cast and extras), aliens, planets, space, starships, technology, uniforms, sets ETC. It is sure to be a classic book that you will continue to look back upon for reference as the brand new timeline continues with future adventures set in the Abrams universe.
