    We have a new bad guy that sounds and looks a lot like the main villain from Galaxy Quest. A planet similar to where they needed a new beryllium sphere. Lots of little flying things breaking the ship. "You broke the bloody ship".

    Other things of annoyance: when will Nu-Kirk keep his ship? Prime Kirk was a clever tactician and an ass kicking machine. I'm getting tired of seeing this guy constantly lose or nearly lose his ship. There's nothing special that sets Nu-Kirk apart from the hopeless idiot of the week captains we see on TOS and TNG.

    Spock assigned to another vessel? Just like STID? His patch says U.S.S. Franklin. The intro of this trailer is strangely dubbed.

    Maybe in this movie we can finally get a bad guy with a really big ship that's a huge threat to earth and the Enterprise. Orrrrr has that been done the last 4 movies?

    If the trailer is anything to go by it's a rip off of Star Trek.

    But how about we actually see it first before deciding for sure?

    They put CGI action in Trek and we fall back.

    They decanonize entire timelines and we fall back.

    Not again.

    The line must be drawn here! This far, and no further!

    Did this really need to be a separate topic from the one ABOUT THE TRAILER?

    Nope. The OP's premise is shaky and limited on discussion value. Thread closed.
