The Bridge of the USS Enterprise

Just saw Star Trek on Blu Ray. Unbelievably fantastic but one camera move really gave me pause. At one point the camera pans out from the bridge of the USS Enterprise, through the viewscreen/window and over the front bow of the ship. I'm no military strategist, but that would be the last place where you would place the command/nerve center of your starship. Worse still is having a well lit window letting everyone look in. Hopefully for the next movie they can invent some form of CIC. Take advantage of the reboot.

Screenshots from Star Trek HD Trailer

I haven't been much of a trekkie since DS9 and Voyager and the slow transition over to longer story arcs that I had a hard time following till I lost interest. But I've downloaded the HD version of the Star Trek trailer and am stoked to see the new film. The images in it are like something out of my childhood wet dream and also this might just be the shutterbug in me but I love all of the flare and lens artifacts that's occurring in all of the battle scenes as if someone took an IMAX camera with them to film an actual interstellar space battle.
