Iron Man 3 – 79%
The Fast & Furious 6 – 77%

Trekmovie:

The commercial is leading to more buzz from the movie. Currently it is the second highest rated Super Bowl XLVII commercial (of all commercials) at the Hulu Ad Zone. Voters in a poll at Cinemabland are also ranking the spot as a close second (behind Fast & Furious 6). The sports site Bleacher Report has ranked Star Trek Into Darkness ad as the best Super Bowl spot of the year, saying "this looks like it will be one of the biggest movies of the summer." Over at Film School Rejects they rated the spot as one of their "winners" saying how the ad "promises it all in only half a minute." The Guardian (UK) surmises says that the ad shows "there are hints JJ Abrams Follow-up to his 2009 Trek reboot will build on the success of the first film." However it isn’t all positive buzz – USA Today’s Survey has the Star Trek spot ranked in the middle of the pack.

A 700m starship colliding with Earth could cause planet wide devastation.
Nah.

Assuming the Enterprise remains intact during a uncontrolled reentry, and putting the density somewhere around dense rock (space alloys...who knows) a 700 meter object striking the Earth at 45 degrees would make a crater 6.5 kilometers wide by 500 meters deep. If you lived within 100 miles away you'd feel a magnitude 7 earthquake 20 seconds after impact.

From the trailer it seems more or less like a controlled crash landing to me, so why would they destroy anything but some buildings? It's not as if the Enterprise is just falling from the sky like some kind of meteorite or comet. She doesn't hit Earth like a bullet, she is crash landing!

But all that doesn't anti-matter!
