The First Trailer

I imagine everyone here cares about Star Trek.

A lot of folks don't care about all the attendant crap and minutiae.

But if those people leave the party, you'd have to retire your "nope" meme. You'll lose your sarcastic charm.
 
If you ain't got Serkis, you ain't got crap.
That is grammatically confusing since it translates in the positive to "If it has Serkis, it's crap." But I'm pretty sure the ghetto meaning is the opposite, unless you just don't like Serkis and you're being grammatically clever. That said:

The Hobbit had Serkis for a scene and the scene was good. Although Serkis was behind the camera in some cases elsewhere, the rest was Jackson's juvenile and excessive indulgences. It turns out he needs more limited resources to make a good movie like the far superior LOTR. So maybe adjust your quote to "If you ain't got Serkis on screen..."

And if Arkham could keep those maniacs locked up Batman would spend his nights watching Three's Company reruns. I don't think he's sweating that one, either.

1st time watching the 1st trailer... I was like that seemed a bit "busy"... Not that it's bad, just that there was a lot going on in it... To fast pace to keep track of what was going on... Yes, I'm over 50, but doubt that's the issue...

After watching the "break down" of the 1st trailer it slowed it down to the point I could understand what was going on a bit better then that 1st raw watch through...

Hopefully the 2nd trailer won't be as fast paced as the 1st one, heck 2nd trailer might be during the Super Bowl, what better place then to showcase a longer ad that has a less hectic tone to it then during the big game...

Wouldn't be the 1st time that it was done as well... ;-)
 
Is the Enterprise to be completely destroyed? Kirk mentioned not having a ship, and in the trailer is appears to be ripped apart.

I truly hope it is not destroyed. She is still new and has only begun its 5 year mission. Non Trekkers probably wont care all that much but as a fan, seeing it destroyed so early will be very upsetting. :scream:

It would seem it will be. It's pretty much confirmed at this point. The ship is broken into three pieces and dropped down on the planet. One nacelle is taken off the drive section, and then the saucer is torn from the drive section. There are other ships involved in the film. One other has been clearly named "USS Franklin." So, we're likely going to see our plucky heroes pulling a junker together to get the job done.

Not my best work, but:

Also, it's a lot slower for some reason than it was when I first made it. I'm not sure why.

By the time this movie starts, the Enterprise is about 4 yours into service, give or take. It's been confirmed they are about 2,5 years into the 5YM.
 
And that trailer cut sharply against two of my big hopes for STB.
...The second is that STB would be a more exploratory and would be largely set onboard the Enterprise....in space --"out there."

They can't do much exploring if they don't leave the ship, can they?

They do, the USS Franklin. A little older, rougher around the edges, but they have one.

Yes, I believe it's what the kids today call a "colloquialism." :rolleyes:

"You ain't got crap" means that if you have anything at all, it is way below the level of crap.

First Vulcan, now the Enterprise. I like Pegg, but it sounds like the snuff of the week show in the name of drama and shock value. It's too easy.

Next week on South Trek: "Oh my god, they've killed Kirk!"

I guess you haven't seen TWOK, TSFS, GEN, or NEM.

Brace yourself.
 
I didn't get the sense of a snuff film from those; i.e., they were more organic rather than a cheap throwaway device. Except for Nemesis - I felt Data's death was Kirkish there in terms of what-a-waste. I didn't care about the ramming; the Enterprise was not killed/destroyed.

Meh. Think TWOK (OMG, they killed Spock!), TSFS (OMG, they destroyed the Enterprise!), GEN (OMG, they destroyed the Enterprise!), and NEM (OMG, they killed Data!). If it's too easy, Pegg isn't the only one in Trek to have imbibed in it. That's a hefty forty percent of the previous ten Trek movies.

In big time blockbusters, the stakes have to be high and no one or no thing should be safe.
Ask Han Solo. ;)
