The trailer looks nice. Can't help but think that one guy looks like an orc, though.

Looks like from the Nemesis Flash Site that the Scimitar is a Reman vessel. Also looks like we will see some refitted Warbirds. Now I realize this is old news for some of you...just nice to see rumors turned into realities.

This may sound really geeky, but I'm noticing a definite Eavesish design aesthetic exists and is especially prevalent in this brute.

Fanboyish and I hate CGI. That's all I have to say about it.

Is he the one who designed the Dominion cruiser and battleship and later on, the Sona ships?
Cuase this thing looks like a cross between both. Eaves is deffinately running out of ideas. Not only is this thing greyish silver, it also fires white blueish pulses like the Dominion and Sona.

Seeing it from below like that, I think it was definitely supposed to look like a bird... in keeping with the giant bird of prey symbol of the Romulan Empire. But the ship just looks un inspired. As has been said, it looks too much like the Dommie warship and the Son'a ships. And white/grey just doesn't seem very Romulan to me.

That's because it's Reman.

Right, I can understand that the Reman design ethic might be different... but from what I read on the Nemesis site, they seemed to imply that the Remans were actually descendants of Romulan settlers 2000 years ago, who looked nasty thanks to the old "fun with DNA" tricks that Trek loves to pull.
But I also agree, that ship looks very unoriginal... again. It reminds me of the Son'a and the Dominion cruiser, but also like a bizarre mutation of that Bajoran assault ship that we occasionally saw on DS9. Not to mention it has the same basic shape as a Klingon bird-of-prey.
Still, I'll wait till I see the movie before declaring it "crap."
