Amazon.com Review Book 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. Look Inside Star Trek: The Art of the Film
Trek: Art of the Film RocksMay 9, 2010 Kansas_Jones(The Mirror Universe) I purchased the Star Trek: Art of the Film when I had spotted the $19.77 price tag. I had been interested in the book, but preferred not to pay the original price tag.
This retrospective book is quite possibly the prettiest Art of Trek book I've ever checked out.
Concept art, renderings, digital photos/set photos, creatures, the characters, the ships are all explored and shown in the book. I particularly liked the glimpse at the USS Kelvin with the bridge photos, crew uniforms, and renderings of the vessel.
I'd recommend the book to either a Trek fan or a science fiction art fan.
Star Trek (XI): The Art of the Film - Shows How Good The Film Could Have LookedApril 1, 2010 Kevin Hanson(Redondo Beach, CA USA) This book shows the chosen as well as the rejected designs for the 2009 Trek film (11th in the series).
Had the film utilized some of the discarded designs the film would have looked more like it belonged in the Trek universe.
Excellent book.
Just like being there.March 3, 2010 Valefor De Ambershay(Hollywood) Having been fortunate enough to have been part of the production, I am happy to say that this is as close to the behind the scenes experience as actually being there. The production quality of this tie-in book is top notch with many comments from the director, actors and designers. It is great to be able to share all the love and hard work of the cast and crew in this wonderful book. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!
Great Start, but Need More!February 22, 2010 overlordspock(Papillion, Nebraska United States) Like others have already mentioned, this book is a great concept and executed well, except that it is very thin on included material.
Each different category of artwork that is explored (sketches of the Enterprise, uniforms, aliens, sets, etc.) are only given one or two pages of space at the most. I for one would have greatly enjoyed seeing the evolution process of getting from the original Enterprise to the new Enterprise explored in much more detail rather than the few random sketches we are given. Why were some of the decisions that were made made? All the different sketches/paintings of different aliens were fine, but most of those were not actually seen in the movie. It's good to see the concepts but again, why were some in the movie, but others weren't?
Don't get me wrong, I liked the book and do not regret purchasing it, but I would have loved to have seen a lot more meat to it, even if it meant at a higher price.
Skinny On MaterialFebruary 12, 2010 Dan Brooks Enjoyed the book, but it comes up awfully short on the subject matter. The design for the Enterprise, for example, could have been far more in-depth considering how iconic it is. Just would have liked to have seen more, higher price would have been worth it.
