New trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRVD32rnzOwNot feeling it. I hope they're just doing a fakeout on the Enterprise being destroyed because wow, that used to feel like a weighty event but now it's ho-hum. Though maybe in nuTrek since you can just beam to the other side of the galaxy, ships are passe anyway and Kirk & Co. will just teleport everywhere. |

Well, it's been heading this way anyway, but it looks like the transition to action schlock is now complete.

 Just stop already. For fuck's sake, Into Darkness was the worst movie I saw this year and this looks magnitudes worse. |

Agree about the Enterprise thing - it's become old hat. I will say if it Into Darkness had not been so shitty, I would have reacted more positively to this one. As it is, I'ma wait-and-see.

This looks like the Star Trek: Insurrection of the new Trek world. The big budget version of a mediocre episode.
I'd really been hoping this would be the movie where they fix the timeline and get back to the original universe. Sadly, I see no hint of that.... but there is stuff not in the preview that may hint that we're getting more time travel badness.

2020 will be the year I gave up all hope.

This is where it begins, Captain! <- bad dialogue
I liked the McCoy and Spock moment though.

Urban's McCoy is the only thing I enjoy in any of these movies. I had hope for Pine after the first one when he really did pull off Shatner-esque mannerisms, but those are gone....

Its directed by the Fast and the Furious guy. I couldn't come up with a more inappropriate director for Star Trek if I thought long and hard on it.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

You're right, it may be fun to watch now, which is totally what Star Trek isn't about. I didn't know they were making a Mass Effect movie tho. |

Feel the same way about this movie as I do about Suicide Squad. They'll probably be pretty fun movies even if they aren't good Suicide Squad or Star Trek movies. |

Well there is the little paycheck that sways judgement and before the contract ink is dry, you are stuck making a horrible film. Not a fan of his, but he has a point. |

That was the song from the 2009 Trek film right?
My understanding is they rushed this trailer out first in German and then in English after it leaked in Germany.
Maybe that's part of why it feels rushed and unfinished.
But I also agree with the Enterprise getting destroyed. Again. Just how often is that going to be a thing?
I think the cast holds up well.

I meant one or two of the movies have been ok, not the first and second one. |

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

Penny Marshall? I would totally prefer her version. Team banter like in League of Her Own, a bittersweet character moment out of Awakenings, a performance as good as Big (and hopefully not an overall Renaissance Man). It would be way more Trek-like than... this. |

I presume the enterprise gets destroyed because it is the third movie. And the third movie is the one where the enterprise gets destroyed and they wander about on a planet looking for spock.
Looking forward to the next one where they have to save a whale from the 80s in an invisible space ship.

A whale will be too in the nose and not topical enough. It will be a killer whale from Sea World to save Earf from rogue space sharks.

Hey guys, remember Guardians of the Galaxy when they had that classic Earth rock music and all the space people were like WHUUUUT? Let's do that, guys.
Also space elves because it worked for Thor and them hobbit movies.

To be fair, Sabotage was the song they used when they first introduce Kirk in the first Star Trek. |

While I hate sticking up for it, because the trailer is awful, Beastie Boys appearing in nuTrek isn't new. Both of the new Star Trek movies have featured Beastie Boys songs so it's kind of a theme. Sabotage was in the first one when you're introduced to Kirk as he steals a car as a kid and a remix of Body Movin' is played when Kirk is gettin' it on with some alien cat twins in the sequel. If anything it's sad that they're recycling the same song. They should've used Intergalactic... Edit: Evildrider beat me to it. |
