Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

[Malaika]

he was right about the whole Orci getting fired and Shatner rumor
I don't trust him in general but he was right about that.

I know not all of you care about Spock/Uhura but it's one of my favorite aspects of the movies and of course I had been worried Pegg ignored it for a little while now ..

 

[Mudd]

Find me the post in which he actually stated fired or removed prior to that being public.

Mobius has all the information and insight of a Ouiji board or daily horiscope.

 

[Malaika]

Dennis, It's not that para mobius guy. It's Devin Faraci's twitter. He's the guy who spread the rumors about Shatner being in the original script (confirmed by Orci) and then Orci losing the director's chair because paramount didn't like the script (which was true)

he hates the reboot so there is definitely bias on his part. And he posts no comments or sources of his statements, just claims that he talked with Lin and Pegg and they make him think that this movie will ignore stid, along other things. So yes, he's not some big trusted source but since he had been right about other things in the past, there might be some truth in what he's saying right now too even if he decorates everything with his usual anti-reboot opinions.

That kind of rumor might be true or false but they still have the ability to kill the excitement of many fans that might already have their own worries about the new team.

okay, just watched it. first reactions are...

well...

 

[mattman8907]

well if things go the same like they did with STID, we might see a 30-second teaser during the super bowl and a theatrical trailer sometime in march/april.

 

[Mudd]

I'm fine with what Faraci's said.

He is an idiot, though.

Ah, okay. I have a low opinion of him but can't speak to what he might have known or said before events went public because I don't pay that much attention. In fact, since he does have actual conversation with movie people his blog would be a reasonable source for Mobius's alleged predictions.

Do you have a link to Faraci's post predicting the announcement of Orci's departure?

 

[WarpFactorZ]

There are two sounds of teleportation in the trailer. Spock and Kirk. The first sound is the old Enterprise and the second is the new Enterprise. This makes me wonder if we will have a journey through time or is there an old ship off reminiscent of the Enterprise - TOS.

Spock is seen sporting a "USS Franklin" jacket with an older-looking Federation arrowhead. Likely this is the rumored TOS-esque vessel (and he and McCoy are probably rescued by Kirk et al. after the rehab the ship).

 

[fireproof78]

I'm curious about the new transporter effect as well. I wonder if it is supposed to be a modified Federation one, or, if there is older tech involved, a jury rigged one.

Trailer was ok, but I enjoyed the comedic bits. Kirk's line at the end was a great cap off to a fun action scene.

I wonder if they steal parts from the downed Enterprise to bring the Franklin up to speed?

I don't see why they wouldn't at least consider it. Scavenging usable parts is a time-honored engineering practice.

It provides a plausible working theory for climbing around the crashed saucer section.

 

[Tyr]

I think that they rescue the crew and aliens captured by the swarm and leave the planet on board the Franklin. Set course to the next Federation Outpost (Dubai), but are followed by the swarm. They are again attacked, crashland (the scenes filmed in Dubai, where you could see the extras running from the crashed saucer) and the swarm begins attacking the city. Scene from the trailer, where you see starfleet personnel running to the buildings and swarm ships flying around. On the right side of that scene, it looks like the shape of the saucer's rim, probably the two open hatches that were visible in the pictures taken from the building next to the set in Dubai.

 

[BeatleJWOL]

Okay, just showed the trailer to my 61 year old father.

Got me into Star Trek, we've watched DS9 almost all the way through together...my Number One trekkie. His reaction to the trailer?

"Play that one again." Laughs and smiles. As far as I'm concerned, BRING ON THE TREK

As a trailer it's pretty crappy - all you can tell without combing through it is it's Star Trek, and stuff happens.

That said, on closer examination there are some interesting points.

The first scene is on the dingy bridge of an unknown ship, where the crew seem to have made themselves at home. Is this a shuttlepod or something else? Is it in the opening of the movie, or in the main story?

The Enterprise gets hammered, but no way does it get destroyed. That would end the five-year mission, which is too much of a downer. I predict the ship is still in orbit around the planet, and at the end of the movie they will return to her and start repairs.

I have said I wanted to see a movie about the crew being stranded on an alien planet, and it looks like I got my wish! Having the crew separated according to where their lifepods land seems a nice touch.

Where the hell does Kirk get a motorbike? They'd better have a good reason for that.

Is that really Idris Elba covered in latex and with his voice altered? If so, it seems like a waste of a good actor. But it may not actually be him...

"This is where the frontier pushes back." Hellava quote!
Interesting that these aliens might see Starfleet's exploration mission as an unwanted incursion, cultural or military. I wonder if there will be parallels with the Middle East?

I tend to think she's toast. She loses a nacelle, in another scene we see the saucer going down.

Agreed -- the E is basically shredded. Time for something new.

Nacelle - they can stitch that bad boy right back on.

The saucer isn't going down - this is Kirk's POV as his lifepod flies away from the ship.

EDIT: Strike that, I caught a glimpse of the background. Still, how are they going to get off the planet and continue their mission?

Your more than welcome to your opinion. We'll find out soon enough.

As a trailer it's pretty crappy - all you can tell without combing through it is it's Star Trek, and stuff happens.

But that's par for the course for the initial teaser trailer for just about any movie these days. That's why it's called a teaser. Most trailers are made by the same company, and they have a well-established formula. This is not the only trailer, just the first of several.
