Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Looks pretty good. Nice that they're on an alternate history branch and don't have to keep to to canon from here on out.

yay yay yay yay yay!

Needs a poll to vote on Khan or Gary Mitchell or somebody new... I rather liked the Gary Mitchell guess, but as Dag said we are in an alternative history so don't need to use classic villains.

I didn't mind the new one, but I kinda miss TNG themes of a more peaceful exploration of universes unknown. I think Roddenberry would gag on his own vomit if he saw this. It's not unique SciFi anymore, it's just the usual really well-done hollywood tripe.

KHHAAAAAAAAANN!

Yessir! I was hoping they would bring Shinzon back

Hey, it's Sherlock! Love him.

This looks good.

I dunno about this... On one hand it's Star Trek, which is awesome. On the other it's another over the top sci-fi action movie.

I kind of feel like they're turning Star Trek into a Marvel movie or something.

They're gonna crash the Enterprise into ANOTHER planet?

ugh I'm so sick of the inception style BRRAAAGGGHHHHH drone that seems to be used in every trailer these days. Also J.J. Abrams is a good director no doubt, but pioneering? What exactly did he pioneer? The overuse of lens flares?

The TNG movies were doing this already, badly. At least the new ones are good action movies. But I do know what you mean. Looks like we'll never see the old style Star Trek of the TV series, anymore

Isn't someone back for Vengeance every time? Wasn't this the same as the first remake and the last of the TNG movies as well? Come on people, I want some hard sci fi like the series.

The series were much better than the movies, because they could calm down for a second.

Yeah. There's no star trek in their star trek.Just a lot of pretty people running and jumping through a sterile fascist utopia.

From the summary, this sounds like the Eugenics War in star trek, where the augments took control of a quarter of the planet and Khan declared himself absolute ruler.

Can't wait to watch Benedict Cumberbatch in this one!

BTW, is there not a more British sounding name than Benedict Cumberbatch?

I'm not expecting anything good out of this one. I mean, I didn't care for Star Trek (2009) either, but at least that one had some of the elements of what Star Trek was about. This looks like a run of the mill comic-book action movie.
I remember when Star Trek was about exploration, philosophy, politics, and discovery. Now it's become something much more mundane, and that's kind of sad, not just on the part of Hollywood, but also on the part of the general public, who can't seem to appreciate the deeper things nowadays.

Also, just because it's a movie doesn't mean you need to focus on some villain on a quest for vengeance all the time. Anyone remember Star Trek VI? I actually consider that to be the best of the Star Trek movies, with its deconstruction of the collapse of communism and how it affected those who lived in that era. Sure it wasn't as tight as Star Trek II, but it had a much greater impact.

Besides, whenever they try to do an amazing, new villain to rival Khan, they always forget to make the villain compelling and interesting. Khan had this advantage because of his background in Space Seed, whereas villains like Shinzon and Nero are bland and undeveloped. (Well, at least effort was made with Shinzon, but they failed to make him a compelling, sympathetic villain. Nero wasn't supposed to upstage the origin story of the crew, but in that case, was he really needed?)

Anyway, I've been kind of ranting about this with friends lately, and I guess that's spilled over to VS now. But that's my position, and I stand by it.

You're my first downvote with my new bronze star. Delicious.

My response to the trailer - holy crapping shit balls. Benedict Cumberbatch is a boss.

Boy this instantly made me think of The Avengers trailer.

And "For I have returned to have my vengeance". Really? That's a line someone wrote?

Are there any American actors who can be the villain in these things? You guys must have at least one!

"As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew."

Bahahahahaha

You don't need to pioneer anything to make a fun movie. James Cameron has pioneered a lot of new technology but he still made Avatar and set the shitty stage for re-releases in 3D.

There's a bigger problem and it's this dude: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Lindelof

Dan O'Bannon he is NOT.

In Star Trek TOS crew members were getting killed in almost every episode. TOS is far from "peaceful exploration". lol.

It might be presented in a much different way but it's every bit as brutal.

Am I just overly sensitive to "inception"-noises now? have they always been there?

My conception without deception is your exception to inception reception causes dejection.

What does the Star Trek Odd/Even law predict?

They let the writer of Prometheus get their hands on Star Trek???!?!

I'll save my money and wait for it to be released to VHS.
