Thanks for the link.

So is Clint Eastwood going to be the new captain?
Four dollars?
With only one Beastie Boys teaser from four months ago, seven months from release, to show for it?
We're not more than one level from not even knowing there's an upcoming film, a far cry from the build-up to Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness.
Little too optimistic there.
Although, I would much prefer no trailer and lots of surprises than getting a spoiler-filled trailer that ends up hurting the film (see: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice)

I don't think all is well with the movie. It could be that criticism that followed the trailer has left them a little stung and these current re-shoots, whilst not at all uncommon, are as a result of the general vibe that the fans weren't happy with what they saw. Not sure we're quite at Fantastic Four levels of panic yet but they may be trying to add something a little more cerebral to things.
I'm neither "this movie is going to be shit!" nor "this movie is going to be perfect and you need to stop worrying!". It's just that, there's literally no buzz coming from any specific audience, even Fantastic Four had more buzz three months from release. It may not have been very positive, but at least people were talking about it. And look how that film turned out.
It's a little worrying, TBH. We're three months from release, and at this point, Into Darkness had a teaser, a trailer and a TV spot, and they were all reasonably well-received, at least from casual audiences. We have one bland teaser that everyone forgot about after a week. I'm not ready to write the film off yet though, I hope it turns out well.

That's just wrong.
STID was released 3 years, 2 months, 13 days before Beyond's scheduled release. At that point in time, STID had a teaser, a trailer and was 6 days from a new TV spot.
I've done my research
In fact, the full trailer for the second Abrams movie wasn't released until March 9, 2013 — for a film set to premiere in just 69 days. By that calendar alone, Paramount has another month to figure out exactly when it's time to do the release.
But if you're going to circle a weekend, here it is: May 6. Why? "Captain America: Civil War."

That was the second full trailer.
The first official trailer was released on December 17, 12 days after the first official teaser, and was almost a minute longer.
But yeah, I'm expecting it to release around late-April/early-May with Civil War. I'll be happy in that case, but if they leave it any later, sheesh...

We expect an April to May trailer for a July 22nd movie. STID had a Dec/March(international)/April trailers for a May 16th release. It'll likely be a Dec/April-May/June trailer schedule for a July movie! It's not that far off.
It's tempting to think that way; that they have confessed their sins and want to submit to the fans and earn redemption in our eyes. But I suspect that's mere wishful thinking. There's no redeeming the cynical suits in Hollywood and history will never, ever be a lesson to them.
That said, there's another point of view. I was talking with an acquaintance recently who did not know me as a Trekkie. We were talking about some movies and he brought up the Star Trek Beyond trailer. He's the type of alpha guy who thought the trailer was brilliant and will definitely go to the movie because of that trailer. The suits made their sale. We're going anyway. So who are the smart ones?
Personally, I like the choice of Pegg as writer. My expectation and hope is that Star Trek Beyond is on the more humorous end of the Star Trek scale as measured from Balance of Terror to Trouble With Tribbles. Anti-STID, if you will; something that doesn't take itself too seriously. I liked the trailer scene with Spock beaming out to leave McCoy alone.
Non-Trekkies are "alpha guys"? What? 
I have a friend who's never watched any Star Trek and he didn't care much for that trailer. My other friends have either not even seen it nor know of its existence.
To each his own really.

We've been over this many times. Both Lin and Pegg say the trailer is not an indication of the tone of the movie. And reshoots are normal.
But we know the basic plot. We know the "feature players". Only thing we don't know is the ending.
