Official Trailer Review & Comments Thread!! [Spoilers, of course]

[sto vo kor]

Lore isn't looking that good.

Regarding the weird reflections in the scene where Kirk is looking on a the Enterprise under construction: I'm fairly certain those are lens reflections from the work lights on the right-hand side of the frame, which suggests a couple of interesting possibilities. Either part of that shot, including the lights, is physical model work or the CGI guys were VERY thorough in their level of realism. In fact, I noticed a number of realistic lens effects in the space battle scenes so I'm leaning toward the latter. With the time and money they have to work with, ILM may just be giving us some truly groundbreaking visual effects here.

Yeah, I noticed those too.
They seem to have done fantastic work on this film (after Indiana Jones IV I was a bit worried...)

Like I said, $150 million, no real "names" to suck out that lockbox... Money went for something.

That shot reminds me of Star Trek III.

I noticed this shot in the trailer and thought how beautiful and reminiscent of old school model effects shots it was. ILM appear to have done a really beautiful job with this film.

$150 million and no "name" actors, outside of Nimoy and he may have settled for a smaller up front for a chunk of the back side, to pay an above average chunk of that to goes a long way...

This Spacedock doesn't contradict canon and continuity because---to be frank---we never saw an orbital Earth drydock or space station during the TOS time frame. TMP and TSFS were our first glimpses of Earth-orbital facilities constructed by Starfleet. So this one works, and look cool to boot.

And for all we know, the attack on the Kelvin, 20 some-odd years before, might have upped the military side of the Starfleet over the exploratory side.

As others have noted, it looks a lot like the old Starfleet Headquarters design.

Much like the Borg incursions altered Starfleet's outlook in the 24th century.

And the Kzinti.... er, I mean Xindi, did.

Umm, where is the link for HD? The first trailer on the Apple site is of Cloverfield, and the second for the old trailer.

Ok, YAY! The correct links are on movie-list.

The movie site appears to be working as well now.

They have their links messed up or something, because the first trailer listed (Trailer 2) is the old trailer, and the second (Trailer 1) is for Cloverfield. Note these are only on the HD feeds.

Here's the links of the files for the actual trailer (hopefully) that can be downloaded (if someone already posted these, sorry):

Huh... they must've screwed something up since 11 this morning because that's were I downloaded the hi-def version at that time, but sure enough- the HD links are screwed up now. Interesting.

Huh, even those aren't downloading for me. Paramount must be up to something.

Try removing the "h" before the resolution (http://movies.apple.com/movies/paramount/star_trek/startrek-tlr2_1080p.mov, http://movies.apple.com/movies/paramount/star_trek/startrek-tlr2_720p.mov, http://movies.apple.com/movies/paramount/star_trek/startrek-tlr2_480p.mov)

If you still have problems, I'll try to host the 480p on dropbox.

 

[sidious618]

I loved it. I'm very excited to see this film now.

 

[Thrall]

This was a damn good trailer. First I was like, oh it's some generic movie not I'm going to see and then the kid said his name and I was like "I know that name" and then I was like oh God they're making Kirk into Maverick from Top Gun and then hey Sylar makes a pretty kick ass Spock and that new teleport beam is wicked and KICK ASS Ohura just took her shirt off and OH MY GOD IT'S SIMON PEGG AS SCOTTY!!! AND THEN WHAM BOOM BLAST EXPLODE FLYING LAZER THINGS ERIC BANA SPEAR EARS!!!

So in conclusion I thought it was decent.

 

[Aragorn]

Thanks to my brand new computer, I can watch trailers in 1080p now!!!

 

[AdmiralSTFU]

Kirk seems to be gettin' it on in the same type of room Uhura is taking off her top in. Enterprise crew quarters? What would an Orion be doing on the Enterprise?

My guess is that she's rooming with Uhura.

That's why Jim's under the bed.

Uhura takes off her shirt because she thinks she's alone with the Orion chick.

Only thing that makes sense to me.

You guys need to take editing into count. The background suggests these rooms are starship standard-- just cause we see a shot of Uhura doesn't mean she is in the room, or that it is her's.

i haven't seen this many lens flares in a film since John Carpenter int he 80s. You'd think the 23rd century would have some nice anti-glare coatings on heir gear!

Seriously though-- it's obviously a stylistic choice-- there are flares all over both composite, full cg, and regular film shots.
