Prometheus Bridge

I’ll see you again, my friend.

Let’s talk a bit about changes brought to the bridge:

- The most striking aspect and seen throughout the movie on the rest of the ship is lighting. It’s a lot darker on the ship for a more dramatic effect, whether internal (such as the bridge or sickbay) or say from orbiting the Armagosa Star (the ready room, Ten Forward, Picard’s Quarters). There’s also grill plating over the turbolift entrances.

- Additional stations: Gone are the plush side panels. The Art of Star Trek stated that they always wanted the side stations but the cost of having those manned all the time proved to be too prohibitive. But here they wanted to say, nah it’s been like this from day one. So additional stations are in and all their supported doodads!

- Raising the Command Well: There are now two small steps leading to the command area I guess to make it easier to film over the shoulder and see them on wider shots?

- Accents: Everything is made to been seen more in the film. The struts over the dome are thicker, the lights at the captain’s chair are also larger. 

- More chairs: Worf now gets to sit down at tactical (not seen here) on a stool. The cube-like chair they had shifting in the back in the series has been replaced by stools like the one on the side.

- Handholds: the ship does shake a lot after all. Was the set on gimbals for Generations?
