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.

 Filled with detailed, high quality artNov 30, 2009
By Parka
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R32H02F8K4DAV2 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.

 Well made but could include more preliminary designsDec 19, 2009
By T. Cooper
"Scolopendra"
It was glossy and very well-made, with absolutely beautiful production values (a lot like the movie). As Trek art books go, though, it concentrated rather heavily on either what did or was going to appear on screen with very little in pre-production sketches and preliminary, experimental designs. Anyone who owned "The Art of Star Trek" will recall things like Matt Jefferies' initial sketched ideas for the overall shape of the Enterprise and the Klingon D7, among other things; this sort of first-cut experimentalism is sadly lacking in this book. Instead, we see what we saw in the film along with some glimpse into how those designs evolved. That's well and good, and this book does do what it intends to quite well. I would have wanted just a little more.
Very geeky!Nov 28, 2011
By A. Frankenfield
I bought this book to be used as a prize in a figure drawing session that I run. We were going to have a Star Trek themed evening, but our model canceled, and I got to keep the book. It's a pretty cool book. Lots of very geeky and creative artwork. If you are a fan of the film, you'll enjoy flipping through it!
Cool bookJan 07, 2011
By thatswhatshesaid
If you like the movie, you'll love the book. It has great pictures and information about the concept art of the film.
Trek: Art of the Film RocksMay 09, 2010

"He's Dead Jim"
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.
