Star Trek 2023 Movie: 8 Things We Want To See
5. Star Trek Of The Future
The Kelvin Timeline has only been explored as far as the Enterprise-A's maiden voyage, not counting the reference in Discovery's third season. In Star Trek 2009, the Enterprise was only one of several new designed unveiled with the USS Excelsior being one of the others.
The closing moments of Star Trek Beyond revealed the Enterprise-A to be another Constitution-class ship, which mirrors the Prime Timeline. If this mirroring continues, then the Enterprise-B is set to be an Excelsior-class ship, followed by Ambassador, Galaxy and Sovereign.
The radical yet conservative redesign of Matt Jefferies' original ship was both jarring and a fitting tribute to the history of the franchise, keeping the basic design of the saucer and drive sections, with two raised nacelles powering it.
However, there really is nothing tying the film to sticking rigidly to what has come before, so what might the Kelvin Timeline of the future look like? Part of the appeal of Star Trek is the fleet and if there has been one thing lacking from the first three Abrams films, it has been beauty shots of starships.
Bring back the beauty shots!
