The First Trailer

[Mountie1988]

USS FRANKL...

 

[Kemaiku]

Looks like the Swarm is running a planetary concentration camp. Drawing in ships then swiss-cheesing them, capturing the crew for manual labour.

Judging by most of the comments I've read elsewhere, Paramount should probably be tossing this film right in to the dustbin.

And where is this "elsewhere"? The same place as your information that Lin never watched Star Trek?

I find it troubling that people need to make stuff up to feel good about their opinion of a movie.

 

[RAMA]

To boldly go...

 

[BillJ]

The rest, meh. Anyone claiming this trailer feels like TOS should have their heads examined.

There are many people here who have been fans longer than you've likely been alive, who think it feels like TOS.

They're also playing up the Star Wars nostalgia.

Whilst Star Trek seems to be alienating a decent chunk of it's fanbase by downplaying its heritage...

Who needs them. It's not like they'll be missed.

 

[Kemaiku]

You can see the "C-1" from NCC-1701 on the saucer in the reflected moonlight.

 

[JuanBolio]

Yeesh. I'm not appalled, but I'm far from encouraged. Give Star Trek back to the nerds, Paramount.

The only alienation I see is from a few very loud people on the internet.

No.

 

[BillJ]

I've gotten more entertainment, between watching and discussing, from an 84-second trailer than I did from much of the Berman years.

 

[RAMA]

My first reaction: this is not Star Trek.

It didn't give me any Star Trek feeling at all and that for a franchise that celebrates its 50th anniversary next year.

I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but the trailer for The Force Awakens left me wanting for more and left me with feelings of nostalgia.

The trailer for Star Trek Beyond left me feeling empty.

One or two good things: Karl Urban of course and it seems earth finally isn't in danger.

The rest, meh. Anyone claiming this trailer feels like TOS should have their heads examined.

And I'm all for change btw. Star Trek Beyond shouldn't be The Voyage Home or First Contact, but should feel like Star Trek and it really doesn't.

I felt the exact opposite. I felt the SW:Awakens trailers were desperate to erase the memories of the prequels, and they filled the trailer with images of familiar ships from the first trilogy, but I didn't get as much reaction from it as I did watching McCoy, Scotty, and Kirk in this trailer.

Thanks to RAMA for giving us various screencaps from the trailer!

Sorry if this sounds cruel, but oh well! Maybe they'll have more luck with the new TV series. Maybe not. But if both are successful under the auspice of the new action adventure direction (which really isn't at all new), the old fanbase becomes irrelevant.

It's not that few.

The like/dislike ratio on the trailer says 1 in 3 people don't like the trailer.

Even the recent Batman vs Superman trailer which was also very loudly panned has less than 1 in 10 dislikes.

One of these aliens is not like the other...

A Caitian male there?

Sure looks like one

 

[drt]

The swarm is like...a swarm of insects that seem to overwhelm their enemy.

Huh, in the trailer I thought this was a Swarm thing crashing through Enterprise, but this looks like it has a Starfleet arrowhead and English letter "S" on it.

 

[wekkuli]

What bothers me in the teaser is the Scotty's jump scene which looks really cheap even for the Fast And Furious type of film.

Otherwise it's an OK teaser (the ending is pretty lame though).

So it's running 2-to-1 for? 66% of the people like the trailer? Seems like a success to me.
