Ooh sarcasm. Impressing.
No, really... I said it before and I say it again - that's probably the most original, most unconventional and best-looking Star Trek poster ever. A nuTrek comes to the big screen, a nuFuture begins, so we need a nuStyle as well.

Trekmovie has added the Japanese poster:
Fascinating.
Ah, the Kelvin.
I tried it on a couple of friends, they spent a long time looking at it trying to work out what it was - which I guess is the point - they both got it was the "spaceship thingy they fly around in".
I, too, showed the poster to some friends and acquaintances around here (southern Germany, that is), just to check whether the new poster is really that difficult to decipher... everybody (even the non-Star Trek/science fiction fans) took only a short glimpse and then immediately said, 'That's the starship from Raumschiff Enterprise!' (Raumschiff Enterprise is the German title of the TOS series). No problem there whatsoever...
Well, perhaps the people in 'old Europe' are a little bit more sophisticated...
The U.S. poster is the best by far. Something new and stylish, just like the film is said to be. The others are okay, I guess, just a little too generic, blockbuster movie photoshop collage as so many others before.
What puzzles me is why different countries get such radically different styles. Weren't the posters for the previous films pretty much the same everywhere? Oh, and also, the Spanish one, as I've said before, makes the film look like another Cloverfield.
Well, it does say "Star Trek" on the poster! Even Germans know by now that this means Raumschiff Enterprise...

It reminds me of those movie posters that were done by a Polish artist and were really starnge and esoteric. If it didn't have the words "Star Trek" on it, many people would need a few minutes to figure out what the picture was, I'd wager.
I'd have prefered something with Kirk, Spock and McCoy in some sort of action pose.
I found some of those Polish posters I was speaking of:

However, I should also add that, in my experience, whenever the topic Star Trek (or Raumschiff Enterpise, as it is still generally called in Germany) comes up, almost everybody exclusively thinks of TOS, the classic Enterprise, Captain Kirk and Mister Spock, but never of TNG, DS9 or VOY... thirty-seven years after it was first aired in Germany!

Wow, then you must have some old-ass acquaintances!
In my experiences, if I said "Raumschiff Enterprise" people would look at me and say "You mean Star Trek!" No one calls it that anymore. And though it may be a bit of a generational thing, the words Picard, Data, Janeway or Seven of Nine are as frequently associated with Trek as Kirk or Spock. In fact, most of the time when I mention Star Trek, people say "Oh, I loved the film with the Borg!" or "I watched Voyager every week".But maybe this just means that I know all the wrong people...

Well, I wouldn't say they are 'old-ass' (particularly not in their presence). Most of them are history/Asian studies/ethnology students (undergraduate and postgraduate) or teaching/administrative staff at the university or historical reenactors or guys and girls from the historical sword fight club... It's not that they haven't heard about the other Star Trek stuff (some of them even watched on a regular basis), it's more like they could never connect with it. Perhaps they are old-fashioned, perhaps they are nostalgic, perhaps they are into camp, who knows?
Wicked poster. Very bold
I'm no marketer, but I can't imagine a generic action movie poster having much of an affect. Everyone's seen a million of them.
That's my opinion as well. The Spanish Star Trek poster doesn't even look like Star Trek. I could have sworn it tries to sell some Independence Day sequel/rip-off. Posters like THESE make me scratch my head and wonder...
You pretty much summed up my thoughts as well, right there. It's okay, but not really Gr-e-e-e-a-a-a-a-t! But not bad.
I had all but forgotten that early TMP ad and there is a definite similarity. As TMP is my favorite Trek movie, I approve.
'Forget Everything You Know' is indeed a turn-off, and tends to make me think that Team Abrams is butt-raping my childhood.
And I really don't think that's the case, based on the last trailer, I think I'm going to enjoy this movie quite a bit.
If you reverse the polarity and squeeze your eyes a lot it looks just like your avatar.I can hardly see the ship.
I can hardly see the ship.
Oh my God, there's somebody running around without a seeing-eye dog!!! Somebody help him, please!!!
Stay focussed...
When YOU could not recall the 1979 poster, no mere mortal could EVER remember it!
Star Trek fans seem to live on a completely different plane of conscience anyway...
