You’ve seen the teaser trailer for Star Trek: Into Darkness, and if you went to see The Hobbit over the weekend, you got to see the full version. Now, thanks to the magic that is the silver box sitting on my desk, the moving images seen on the big screen, are now on my tiny screen.

I got: lens-flare, BWWAAAAAAH, evil monologue, flashing screen, BOOM BOOM SCHKWAAAH from this trailer. Still gonna see it though.
You’re missing a few BWWAAAAAH’s and the slowly accelerating drums.
The new man of steel trailer has great parallels to this trailer. But that’s not a bad thing! I can’t wait for those movies any much longer!
Cumberpatch is totally Kahn, The cryo tube type thingies 0:56, and the “…do anything for your family…” at the 1:40 mark.
At 00:57 you see that J. J. Abrams have great humor :)
It might be Kahn but I’m not at all certain it would be. Since the Star Trek universe was reset, the Space Seed episode never occurred, and therefore Kahn would never have met Kirk or had a reason to seek revenge.
The video’s been taken down.
You can still see it on iTune Movie Trailers.
Looking forward to this movie, for its effects and eye candy. But I’m still having a huge issue with the entire concept and overall plot. I still don’t get how it would ever make sense that you would put a new academy graduate (a reckless one with an attitude problem and authority figure issues, at that) in charge of your multi-billion (or is it trillion?) dollar/credit starship and tell him to go save the planet. There’s no one else in Star Fleet (over the age of thirty) who can take command?!?
Let’s face it. As written in the first movie, even Sulu and Scotty have more practical experience in being Star Fleet Officers that Kirk, let alone Spock.
Maybe I’m the only one that thinks a movie series focusing on Kirk’s younger days, below decks, with Pike as the Captain in the background would have been just as interesting. For me, seeing him build his relationships with the eventual senior bring crew as young Ensigns would have been far more compelling.
there is no money,so money is no object.but you are right about the crew being to young.
Right. Point taken. I’d forgotten about the no money concept. Although I’ve always thought that might have been a throw away line by a writer, meant to show some sort of utopian economic system, that probably caused all sorts of problems down the line for their world building.
