Star Trek :Into Darkness Trailer has been Rated.

An underwater scene gives the filmmakers a chance to show the Enterprise jumping a shark.
 
The whole idea of an underwater Enterprise at first, made me hesitate. But then I thought about it. Why the hell not? You can only do so many beauty shots of spaceships in pretty nebulae before it starts to get repetitive. They're at least trying things a little different. If they're able to get the shots to look right, and if they treat the whole thing as something that Enterprise wouldn't normally do, and they're doing this as a desperate measure, I can get behind it.

Like the Enterprise being built on the ground thing in the last film. Yes, it's not the most scientifically accurate depiction in the universe, but it created an iconic image. It was treated with enough seriousness, and attempts to make it look, and seem plausible, that it doesn't bother me.

They could have done that without going underwater

The more I think about this, the more that going underwater was the only logical direction for Darkness to go. After all, XI is basically an octopus (Narada the Space Octopus) and a jellyfish (Spock Prime's ship) fighting in space. Next step after being aquatic animals to space, go underwater.
