Graduate of the JJ Abrams school of dramatic lens flares.

Legion Official Trailer #1
Agents of SHIELD is decent. I enjoyed DD. I couldn't get into JJ at all.
Star Trek: Bridge Crew Trailer
Cool enough, though not sure I'm sold on this over Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator... this basically is that, but having VR requirement and set in a Star Trek universe (from the comments it appears to be the JJ Abrams universe). I'm not one to be upset about it being Ubisoft.
Pulsar: Lost Colony is another one in the same thing, though it seems to be a bit more ambitious in total scope, though missing the VR requirement. It has away missions. It's the one I'd be more interested in playing... were I to have enough friends to play any of these. lol.
STAR TREK BEYOND Official Trailer #2 (2016)
The problem with JJ Abram's Star Trek is that he destroyed the core of Roddenberry's vision. Star Trek IS the optimistic, utopian future of mankind.
The popularity of themes comes and goes with the hopes and fears of the current culture. But if zombies are in and vampires are out at the moment, you don't try to make a vampire movie where vampires act like zombies. Just make a fucking zombie movie!
So maybe Roddenberry's core theme is not popular at the moment. If audiences want to see a future of betrayal, violence and individualist motivations in their plot, then pick a franchise that represents those themes and have at it. Remake "Forbidden Planet" any way you like. Shit, do "Logan's Run" in space with a shit ton of CGI.
Or get out ahead of the curve. Old testament angels in an anachronistic setting is just WAITING for a good director to come along.

Red Flag At Night (2016)
JJ Abrams had the following to say about this video:
"I love it! It just needs a little more lens flare and it would be perfect!"
The Force Awakens - spoiler free review (Spacy Talk Post)
I've seen it twice now--once on opening night in IMAX with co-workers and the next day with my daughter and wife in 2D at the local theatre. To be honest, I wouldn't have gone to see it again if the local theatre hadn't of gifted me with discounted tickets (around $12 US for me and the wife and $9 for the daughter).
I was deeply disappointed with the film, though I would not go so far as to say it sucks like @kulpims did. If I had to sum it up in two phrases, I'd say "tries too hard to be clever" in homages to the original films and "deeply flawed" in terms of story. It's not a terrible film by any means, but I would say its unevenness makes it good yet far from great.
It's better and worse than the prequels at the same time. Acting and pacing are far better than the prequels (but not nearly as good as the originals as has been pointed out by @ChaosEngine already).
At the same time, say what you want about Lucas's prequels but he at least tried to expand the Star Wars universe and show us new sides and aspects of it--to make it really feel like a galaxy rather than a couple of mostly uninhabited worlds like Tatooine and Hoth that we got to see in the original trilogy. This movie is a step backwards from that and played things waaaaaay too safe (partly because, as I mentioned, they were too busy trying to make themselves look clever with references to the originals and lots of "nod, nod, wink, wink, see what I did there" moments).
But it is JJ Abrams and I shouldn't have really been as shocked as I was to find out how much of the movie was copy/pasted from the originals with twists that I'm sure he thought were clever but which I just found as cringe-worthy.
Still, really loved the new characters. The daughter was definitely enthralled by Rey, but surprisingly likes her better as dune-surfing scavenger than planet-hopping adventurer.
The Force Awakens - spoiler free review (Spacy Talk Post)
Attack of the Tomatoes, err Clones.
Who is NOT going to see Force Awakens/Episode VII(7/) right away? I am most likely going to wait a little bit. Also, were there a lot of len flares from JJ?
There were spontaneous rounds of applause in the cinemas where I saw Phantom Menace and whatever the second one was called.
"SINGULARITY" * - by The Bicycle Monarchy
No, nothing about this was cool. It reproduced everything that was BAD about sci fi action movies.
The obscene amounts of light flicker, despite the fact that POWER SYSTEMS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY, would make JJ Abrams blush.

So obviously the story will be about Leia.
Because JJ Abrams.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser #2
The problem with Lost, like Star Trek Into Darkness, wasn't JJ. It was Lindelof. The man's a hack. Fortunately, he's not writing this.
I still don't forgive JJ for Lost... nor Super 8, which should have celebrated that child within, it was a poor imitation of this child of the '80s experience. It was lacking in authenticity. Almost. But no.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser #2
What's left of the child that I once was, rooted heavily in Spielberg and Lucas nonsense, emaciated and beaten with wire hangers, what's left of that child just let out a great weep of joy --
And was suddenly silenced, because of the emotional abuse that child had received at the hands of the very creators...
And I still don't forgive JJ for Lost... nor Super 8, which should have celebrated that child within, it was a poor imitation of this child of the '80s experience. It was lacking in authenticity. Almost. But no.
The important thing here is that Lawrence Kasdan is one of the screenwriters. His involvement makes this project legit, and he's working on a stand alone star wars screenplay. Though I haven't read much into it, it's likely the Han Solo film. Kasdan was a screenwriter for Empire, Jedi, and Raiders of the LA. That's what gets me excited despite my south park like reaction to the raping of Harrison Ford. Kasdan won't rape Ford... no, he couldn't!
I was a massive SW fan. I was one of the last people to admit that the prequels were terrible. I kept lying to myself that they were good.
Also, I am on record as hating JJ Abhrams... especially the 2 new Star Treks. So I wasn't happy at all when he got this gig.
So I kinda want to hate this. I've been disappointed before, and I want to get my scorn in early.
But I just can't.
THAT TRAILER IS GODDAMN AWESOME.
And when Han and Chewie appeared, I nearly shed a tear. I really hope the movie is *quality.
