Put on a pot of coffee. It's going to be a long night.
Jesus Christ.
Really loving Youtube's new variable speed option right now. 
I have seen the trailer. Based on what I have seen and read, it looks like, after the Enterprise crew is stranded on the unnamed planet, that Captain Kirk and his senior staff take command of the Franklin and travel to Starbase Yorktown. (Getting help from Starfleet?) The unnamed "bad guy" goes in pursuit and one of the action set pieces takes place at this base.
I like the shots of the warp drive in practice and the Enterprise in a space elevator. The Franklin is a tough little ship.

Is that poster derivative or transformative? Oh. Wait. Paramount owns it, so it doesn't matter.Look at this poster from the event!!
I'm buying it....
In any case, it takes chutzpah to do that. And, I want one.
50th Anniversary homage. Sheer awesomeness.
So stray observations
- Looks like a new hand phaser design. I believe there was already a behind-the-scenes with Pine that showed an armory of sorts with new rifle models. Kind of glad they replaced the old ones, the flip thing was kind of goofy.
- The Franklin's phaser fire looks more in line line with what the Kelvin was shooting than an NX. So maybe closer to the one than the other?
- Is there ANYTHING that isn't improved by Shohreh Aghdashloo?
- Another look at the Enterprise, another nail in the coffin of the starship size argument in favor of it being smaller.
- It also looks like we're going to get a look at a different room on the Enterprise, from where Kirk and Bones are sitting. Mess? Bar? Quarters? It's a shame that they've done all this hard work on the Enterprise sets, just to destroy it, but hopefully we'll get another one at the end!
- Speaking of which, this just confirms that the Generations like image of the saucer flying off is definitely fake. The shot of the deflector dish getting pummeled by the swarm ships with the saucer still clearly attached is proof enough.
- I'm getting a real Mass Effect, Collectors, vibe from the swarm dudes.
There's this picture in this post that's been making the rounds. The new trailer pretty much proves it's false, as at the 1:20 mark we see the Swarm ships pummel the deflector dish, and it being shredded, with the saucer still attached. Whereas in that picture, the deflector dish is clearly still intact post-breakup.
Yeah I don't agree with that either. Later in trailer you see a saucer shaped flame ball entering the atmosphere and then Kirk and Spock jumping through the shattered glass of the command deck and sliding down the saucer to the ground.
Edit: Cross posted. I see, could still be a possibility. They don't always use every shot in trailers in the movie.
Yeah, this pic pretty much confirms that the Enterprise goes down in pieces...

Okay, that trailer was bloody fantastic. I loved the music in it. So much better then the first trailer. Im hyped now.
Secondly, from looking at the Enterprise in a few shots, they may have done a couple of tweaks to her. At first I thought it was the angles and lensing, but it really seems that they may have made the nacelle pylons swoop back a bit, rather then being totally vertical like they are in ST and STID.

That's actually the very image I'm talking about being fake, I'm not saying that the Ent DOESN'T break up. I'm saying it doesn't break up as depicted there. The trailer makes it pretty obvious that the Big-E goes down in pieces as we see the saucer section entering the atmosphere around 2:10.
