Even after it's released nobody will know what it'll look like in finished

form.  We then get to look forward to the DVD release with added scenes, 
then the directors cut, then the 10th anniversay ultradigitally remastered

with dolby 84.6 onward ad nauseum.  The trek franchise is a cash cow
because 
the fans are so ... well fanatical.

I'll probably see it, but whether I see it in the theatre or on DVD later 
will depend on reviews.
