My guess is that little black rectangle things are either aliens or, more likely, probes that we built. Notice at 2:15 one of these things is carrying Anne Hathaway to safety much like a human would.
If only.Absolutely love the latest trailer. And makes me wish the Trek movies could capture that sense of mystery and danger and exploration even half as well.
No, you're right. Trek on film has been moving in that direction almost from the start. JJtrek is simply the inevitable result of steadily dumbing it down.Well I didn't mean it as just a dig at the JJ movies. I've always been frustrated at how the movies and series never really made proper use of the incredibly compelling premise at the heart of the show-- of venturing into the depths of space in a fantastic starship and exploring strange new worlds, and how truly exciting and mindblowing such an experience would truly be.
Instead space in Trek is nothing but a backdrop for ship battles, alien possession stories, political intrigue, and relationship drama. Which can all be done really well, such as in DS9. But I would still love to see a series or movie that had a real sense of danger and exploration about it (like what comes across so well in the Interstellar trailers), and didn't need to rely only on threats from bumpy headed aliens of one kind or another.

My dream format for a new Trek series would be to devote an entire season to each planet being explored. An exploration mission wouldn't just be dropping in and dealing with one situation in one part of the planet, it'd be an in-depth, months-long survey of the whole planet, studying multiple different cultures and environments, getting a sense of the whole world with all its diversity.
