The Star Trek Into Darkness teaser trailer is here!

A birthday honor? Doubtful. I'm still thinking that the flyover is a tribute to a graduating class at the Academy or a funeral for a noteworthy officer of high rank. Kirk played a major role in the defeat of Nero and the Narada in the Battle of Earth and he's a hero....but I don't think birthdays warrant this kind of gathering and a full-blown flyover. He's not an Earth or Federation head of state or government or another dignitary.
3 years from cadet to captain of the flagship... just saying...
 
The theme will be Kirk learning humility in the face of defeat by a superior commander and his childhood hero...Fleet Captain Garth!

YES.

That will be the theme. Also, fashion. They better pimp Garth out appropriately, I'm going to assume we haven't seen that yet because it would be a spoiler.

So he became the captain of a ship that was, at the time, almost entirely piloted by cadets who repeatedly showed their lack of experience to do what they were doing. How does that translate to Starfleet doing flyovers for his birthday? Connect the dots for me here.
 
Okay, so here are the Tweets so far describing what Faraci saw of the trailer at Butt-Numb-A-Thon:

Trailer opens with Pike VO, telling Kirk he has courage but no humility, and someday that will get him and his crew killed.

Full STAR TREK trailer indicates hands against glass scene is actually Spock and Cumberbatch. If he's Sybock... Well, kudos.

That said, Cumberbatch does NOT have Vulcan ears. Hands against glass scene seems to be Cumby in the brig.

Hahaha. They are totally going to capture him halfway through. Just like DARK KNIGHT/AVENGERS/SKYFALL.

Oh yeah: there's space stuff in the full TREK trailer. Space combat. Guy in a space suit zooming around.
 
Admittedly, that does seem to strength the Sybok argument. Not what I was hoping, but hopefully they pull a good story out of it.

Well Cumberbatch's character still doesn't have pointed ears and considering Sybok was pure Vulcan that would seem to be a problem.
 
the theme for the movie will be kirk learning humility in the face of defeat by a superior commander and his childhood hero..CAPTAIN JONATHAN ARCHER who is seeking revenge for the murder of porthos
 
Chekov in red?
Maybe he has been promoted to lieutenant and tactical officer or something about security.

Yes. Final Frontier reboot :lol:

"Not that I'm complaining, but there's so much Benedict Cumberbatch in that trailer you'd think the movie was executive produced by Tumblr."
:rofl:
