Star Trek 2 Trailer.

Anyone else feel like they know nothing more about this movie at the end, than they did at the beginning?

1. hated the first new re-boot

I saw the first new Star Trek movie when it was released and hated it. I thought it was the worst movie I had ever seen. I have never been a fan of the director that made it & could never understand why his big tv show on ABC got such rave reviews. I thought it was awful too. They just tossed out the old Star Trek & thought no one would Remember.

All Re-Boots are not all bad, When Battlestar Galactica was redone for Syfy tv, it was brilliant. This new Star Trek is all action without a hint of plot. I am sure the video game people will love it and anyone with a short attention span.

2. Good analysis.

[Taverner]

4. I like the TOS as well as every permutation...as a spectator

It's an interesting thought experiment...

[NewJeffCT]

7. I believe the whole trashing of the timeline was part of the trilogy

with movies 2 and 3 being Kirk, Spock and the gang trying to set things back to normal.

[progressoid]

8. I like the reboot except...

for the overuse of the jittery hand-held camera technique. I little bit goes a long way with that.

[pokerfan]

15. Don't forget the lens flares!

[progressoid]

16. Ha. Love the video.

How could I have forgotten about the lens flares.

17. I heard it was a big problem with the reboot of

Total Recall. Any similar people work on that one?

[CBGLuthier]

20. I thought it was the first ST movie that did not feel like it was made for children and fanboys

As Casino Royale took Bond away from his childish origins I thought the reboot has finally given us some quality drama instead of fanboy wish fulfillment.

[Taverner]

3. Yes. Lindhof is promising to us all this will not be ANYTHING like any other Trek movie.

[Agschmid]

5. Well it appears to happen entirely on Earth...

So it's looks like it will be a lot like Star Trek 4, minus the whole whale bit. I really actually enjoyed Star Trek 4 thought is was a very cool plot and it was one of the funnier movies (campy).

This trailer makes the movie look very interesting. There was a lot of guessing due to the movie poster having a lot in common with two other recent releases, check out the comparison of the new movie poster with Batman Begins, and Inception.







Looks like some of the movie will happen in London (not the usual SF Star Fleet Base), blow up the poster image and the Gherkin a London docklands building is clearly visible.

From what I can tell of the preview it looks like the movie will follow Star Trek cannon and the villain will be Gary Mitchell. Mitchell is Kirk's old friend whose ESP and telekinetic abilities were activated while the Enterprise crossed the energy barrier at the edge of the galaxy in the second pilot episode of the original series.

But then there is this whole article on why I am wrong, http://badassdigest.com/2012/11/28/why-gary-mitchell-is-almost-certainly-not-the-villain-of-star-trek-into-dar/

Your call!

[progressoid]

6. Well, that looks like a departure from the formula.

[kentauros]

9. Perhaps the "From" part should read as follows:

From J.J. "Let's kill as many people as we can in the most imaginative ways possible" Abrams.

I'll wait until it comes out on Dish.

[Orrex]

10. Most of all I look forward to seeing people trashing it

Mostly for trivial reasons with a few legitimate gripes thrown in, and then some poor soul will drag out Camplbell's schtick amd it'll be all over.

I can hardly wait!

11. Good Yahoo Article on the movie...

http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/does-enterprise-sink-spock-die-star-trek-darkness-173527530.html

The teaser trailer for the "Star Trek" sequel has arrived... and with it more questions. How long must you toy with us, J.J. Abrams?
Let's look at Benedict Cumberbatch first (see trailer below). There's a shot of the "Sherlock" star wearing a Federation uniform, which provides more fuel to the recent theory that he's indeed playing Gary Mitchell, the Federation member who gained ESP powers and went villainous in the original series episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before."

Then again, there's evidence that Cumberbatch is playing some sort of variation on Khan, too, what with his declaration of "For I have returned... to have... my... vengeance." Could the "Star Trek Into Darkness" villain be some sort of Khan/Gary Mitchell hybrid? A character we've never seen in the "Star Trek" universe before but who incorporates a few familiar elements from villains of yesteryear? It would seem like an Abrams flourish.

12. Needs moar lens flare

[Archae]

13. This is not Star Trek.

I've been a Trekkie since 1966, and I know this is not Trek.

It has the name, and the characters.
But it's not Gene's vision of optimism.
It's JJ Abrams and his "Lost" bullshit with other dark stuff thrown in.

[OriginalGeek]

29. I'll watch it

Because I love to hear phasers go "pew pew"

But I am usually underwhelmed by JJ Abrams stuff.

The worst part is I want to like a lot of what he produces - he's been part of some TV series that hooked me but then they get stupid.

[postulater]

14. That's a Star Trek? I thought it was more like "Harry Potter: Lord of the Armageddon"

[Kennah]

18. I think it's bad-assed, and I love all things Trek! TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and all 11 movies!

[Kennah]

19. Spoiler Alert - 12 extra seconds in the trailer shown in Japan

[Baitball Blogger]

21. That last scene might give us a clue to who the bad guy is.

What movie was it that Spock died? Who were they fighting against?

[avebury]

22. Spock died in Wrath of Khan.

Ricardo Montalban playing the Khan character he played in the original series.

[Baitball Blogger]

23. Do you remember that gorgeous blonde guy who played Khan's son or surrogate son?

Doesn't the villain of this new movie look like that?

[avebury]

24. I believe Steve Bond played his NO. 1

Henchman.

[Baitball Blogger]

25. It was this guy:

[Baitball Blogger]

26. J. Scott

[Baitball Blogger]

27. His name is Judson Scott.

It would be a neat twist if this is the new villain because wiki says that they didn't even give him credits in Wrath of Khan. If so, it would be a true hidden comeback. BTW, the Khan cult were a superior race, so this guy (played by another actor, of course) would have the ability to wreak havoc.

He plays the role of Joachim.

In the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Scott played Joachim, chief henchman and closest companion of Khan Noonien Singh. Despite having many lines of dialogue, Scott's name does not appear in the credits. According to TV Guide, Scott's agent was in negotiations with Paramount to get his name high billing in the movie, but the tactic backfired and somehow Scott wound up with no credit at all.[2] He played opposite Ricardo Montalban, which resulted in a friendship that lasted until Montalban's death in January 2009. When Montalban received a lifetime achievement award in 2003, Scott was the presenter.[3]

[avebury]

28. You are correct - that is Judson Scott. He

was played Lt. James in the Original V Series.

[WilliamPitt]

30. I know I'm seeing it.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

31. love the reboot

finally young, instead of old, and stale. IMHO IMHO IMvery HO
