You do understand that just because it looks familiar, it can work differently under the hood?

Concur. This is a youthful crew running around on a weird planet planet while strange things try and capture/kill them. Beyond seems like it could be plopped right into the second season.
And complaining about motorcycles is like complaining that they used bow and arrow in Friday's Child, sometimes the crew will just have to make do with what's at hand.
One observation
Sofia Boutella seems to be the only one of her race in the teaser.
Is that her planet?

Your right. I mean, it's not like they can come up with an alternative to petrol, right? That's just crazy talk.
Why would you assume this?
Shock, surprise. The Fast and Furious guy gives us Fast and Furious in space. Well, at least they can't dumb Trek down any more.
That was exciting. I like flash and bang and shock and awe and things exploding. I'm an action adventure junkie...and dammit Chris Pine is good looking. Have to get the super shallow stuff out of the way.
But I also like Star Trek. I've been around the block enough times to know that a trailer does not a movie make. I'll wait and see if there are enough of those beloved elements that make up a good Trek story before I condemn it.
But in the meantime...explosions! Light shows! Doctor McCoy!
Exactly. It's a bit too soon to condemn the movie on the basis of their marketing scheme.

Ef's I cin git muh majic mony card to work, I's will see it more thin enuf fer buth ov us!
Gee, I don't know, maybe no one pointed it out because they assumed that since this was the 23rd century, Kirk's bike probably had some other power source than gas?
That's just crazy talk!
When Guardians makes 775 million and Star Trek doesn't, expect the later to look like the former.
This look like a 2016 movies just as TMP, TVH, and FC resemble the 70s, 80s and 90s.
For all the people saying it will be dumbed down solely because Justin Lin directed F&F movies before, here is an excerpt from an interview he did earlier this year. He grew up on TOS.
"Why did Lin exit a thriving franchise in The Fast & The Furious for a Star Trek franchise still trying to reach that commerce level? “I was in the last week shooting True Detective when JJ Abrams called last December,” Lin said. “He asked me, do you like Star Trek? If you do, you should take this, be bold, and just go for it.’ ” Unbeknownst to Abrams — who was leaving to direct the revival of Star Wars — he called the right guy. “I thought about how much a part of my life Star Trek was,” Lin said. “Growing up, my parents had this little fish and chips restaurant in Anaheim in the shadows of Disneyland, and they didn’t close until 9 PM. As a family, we didn’t eat dinner until 10 PM, and we would watch the original Star Trek every night at 11. My dad worked 364 days a year, only took Thanksgiving off, and from age 8 to 18, the only time I could hang out with my parents was by staying late. And every night, it was Star Trek on Channel 13 in L.A. That was my childhood. All my friends were Star Wars kids but I didn’t go to the movies, so I was the Star Trek kid. Thinking about this, it became a very personal and very emotional decision.” Then it became a blur. “On Fast 6, we had a year turnaround and that was crazy. This one gave us six months to get ready, which makes it like an incredibly expensive indie movie.”"

*sigh*
Actually, the Enterprise gets Punctured to Death...
By thousands of tiny pin pricks...
All Over Her Body!
No sexual innuendo there... nope none at all...
And it's Blown Up, not Blowed Up...
THAT would be an X-Rated Trek Movie!
<chuckle>
A motor bike that flies in space?
Didn't see the enough of the bike to tell if its from...the...FUTURE!!!!
I believe Kirk is developing his fondness for antiques....
You know you're not allowed to use past Trek to justify the creative decisions made by the new team.
The Holy Church of the Rod disapproves.
