New Star Trek trailer online

Apple - Trailers - Star Trek

When this scene hits the screen, I will immediately start playing this file: http://rpgcentric.com/files/audio/Star_Trek_Fight_Song.mp3

Sweet!

Nice! Hopefully they spend as much attention on the plot and characterization as on CGI eye candy. It was the characters that made the original star trek great.

I'm really not feeling Chris Pine as Captain Kirk. His performance in the trailer feels like "typical Hollywood movie brash kid", not like Captain Kirk. Simon Pegg's Scotty is spot on though!

Exciting!

So in the 22nd century...starships are so cheap and plentiful we put crews on them who are in their teens and early 20s, supervised by bridge officers who have reached the ripe old age of 25? Did this reboot of the Federation replace the Prime Directive with the Law of the Age of Ascension from Logan's Run?

What's the thought process here? "The worst that can happen is they blow up the ship - and we got a million of those hanging around?" (Ok. The worst that can happen is they start an interstellar war with some race who kicks Earth's collective ass. But let's let that be for a moment).

Still - in their mid-20s?

That's the part I just can't get by with this restart. Stewart as Picard was a man who exuded maturity and authority. He was senior enough to be Captain the moment we laid eyes on him. I bought into that authority instantly.

Shatner as Kirk was at least in the range of believability, though on the young side.

Are they seriously making this puppy Kirk Captain of the Enterprise? Or is this just a fresh out of the Academy first tour as midshipmen?

I'm groovin on SylarSpock. But this Kirk's not doing it for me. Maybe Matt Damon was a better idea after all.

This Kirk isn't showing up as a toy in a happy meal...he's SERVING the happy meals: "You want fries with that sir?"

Uh-uh. Not buying it.

What I am wondering is during the beginning of the trailer what are those large structures you see dotting the landscape in the distance they are barely visible against the sky. One is more prominent during the grown-up Kirk motorcycle scene.

Also, was it just me or did it look like that canyon was artificial, and that there was skyscrapers within that canyon.

As for Kirk being captain or not, I doubt he will be captain off the bat. Pike will probably be in command of the Enterprise, perhaps the manner in which he gives up command of the Enterprise will be different from the original series.

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Kirk isn't the real captain of the ship, as far as I understood. The events of the story lead to him temporarily being in that position.

 

[Wombat]

Love me my old Trek, but I'm still in the "wait & see" mode...

Seems like every new incarnation of ST from TNG forward has been primarily about trying to please the previous audience base (with varying degrees of success) until this one. They are definitely looking to bring in a new, younger audience. Let's hope it is not too late.

From evidence in other clips that have been shown, it appears part or all of the classic crew are cadets on a training mission. Kirk is such a washout that Dr. McCoy must use his authority as a doctor to get him on board the Enterprise. There is also evidently time travel involved in the movie.
