It looks like Spock appears before the Vulcan version of the Kyptonian council.
That trailer involved a lot of flashy lights and exploding things, as well as Uhura's bra.
I have no idea what I'm supposed to think.
BTW: Every time I see this trailer I start to smile when I hear the red alert sound.
Yeah, the beginning of the trailer really threw me off. And I really don't like the idea of Kirk being that little runt of a child.That trailer involved a lot of flashy lights and exploding things, as well as Uhura's bra.

Suffice it to say, I think I pretty much had the same opinion yesterday, as well as what I've already said. I still can't get past when the trailer first started, I like like "What the hell is this" and then I heard Kirk and almost missed the rest of it. I guess it got the job done, but I wish the beginning would have been a lot more Star Trekkien or something.
The whole point of this trailer's success will be to have people not instantly say, "uh, Star Trek" and tune it out. Get them excited before they realize it is Trek.That trailer involved a lot of flashy lights and exploding things, as well as Uhura's bra.

It did have the Kryptonian crystal design didn't it? We just needed some giant holographic heads saying "GUILTY!" Its cool to see that scene finally after we got spy shots of Spock in robes waaaay back.

EDIT: Congrats, Dane_Whitman, you type faster than I do!
So many of the Trek fans want JJ to give them a nod... some tidbit that says, "hey this is your kinda movie"... I think he also threw in something for the average Joe, too, to get them excited about it.
Don't give in the the Darkside... that is the path to destruction!I dont know if i should or not, its a tough decision.
On Monday, just go to (other site)http://www.startrekmovie.com/ and get the real 1080p HD trailer. Like a virgin for marriage, I'm holding out until then.
Kinda makes the 2001 argument over what B&B meant about "Enterprise not being your father's STAR TREK" seem pretty moot, doesn't it?
Why edit out the OFFICIAL STAR TREK MOVIE site? If I were Paramount I'd be unhappy about that as much as posting a bootleg copy.Don't give in the the Darkside... that is the path to destruction!I dont know if i should or not, its a tough decision.

Or you could check http://www.trektoday.com/, our own news site. I'll have it up as soon as it's legit and I come online.
Or in the case of having the ship built on Earth, take a step back. Modern shouldn't mean scientifically illiterate.
Thank god things adapt, culture evolves, and stories progress. I'd hate to be stuck with 1960's mentality for my modern entertainment...
Roddenberry for all his faults did something very right when he created Star Trek... he talked to people who actually worked in the aerospace industry to make sure his show didn't look silly. He put real effort into getting much of the science right. That's why Star Trek inspired so many people to make science a career.
This silliness of the Enterprise being built on Earth is the kind of mistake you'd expect from a movie or TV show back in the 1950s... a bad one.
Ask anyone at NASA where they intend to build a ship to Mars... IN SPACE.
First, the raw materials are there--- either from the moon, or the asteroids.
And second, there's this little thing called gravity which makes lifting large items from the surface of the Earth energy and cost prohibitive.
One of the brilliant things about Star Trek has always been how it did a fairly good job (in most cases) of getting the science right. Seems for all the millions being spent on this film, they weren't able to spend any money on a science advisor.
Sure, the shot of Kirk riding up to the ship under construction on Earth has a certain emotional appeal. But if having the ship being towed into space by a bunch of birds tied to the hull had an emotional appeal that wouldn't change how incredibly stupid it was.
Well, until they explain and justify all those pesky faster-than-light speeds the ships can travel, all the phasers that shoot "lay-zer beams", and the nifty transporter, I'm really not going to sweat...much less complain...about a starship being welded together on Earth. I'll just enjoy the fictional program as it is intended...
