The sheer emotion of that trailer

I caught it when I went to see Watchmen, and thought it was the last trailer.
I guess this one was the special edition. Otherwise, from what I've seen, which looks like just about everything, it looks very... contemporary.
 
Exactly. Correct. Exactamundo. a word I have never used before and hopefully will never use again. :)
 
This trailer is so badass you WANT to see the Kelvin getting the crap blown out of it. With all due respect to Captain Robau.:lol:

Is anybody else addicted to this trailer, maybe it's the music. This trailer is one of the best ever produced, that is the highest praise I can muster.

In fact it motivated me to stop lurking here and actually sign up so I could post.

I have settled on this HD YouTube version

*raises hand*

me. I am obsessed. I watch it every day at least twice.

I am already resigned to the fact that the movie won't be as good ;)

The inestimable Mr. Pritchard is the textbook author Robin William's character has his students literally tear the forward out of their texts because he parrots the same sort of "We 'experts' will tell you what is good art and what is bad art" felgercarb that the quickening and his so-called "educated appraisers" is spouting.

Okay, I understand the reference now (even if it should really have been to "Mr. J. Evans Pritchard" rather than "Evard") but it's a somewhat obscure reference, and one a lot of people here might not get.

Been awhile since I've seen it as well it seems...;)

I don't get the criticism ID4 tends to get around here; I thought it delivered exactly what it promised, and think that nitpicking its scientific inaccuracies and such is kind of missing the point. But that's just me.

Two factors:
1) More "Pritchard school" influence at work...it's too popular, too plebian, so it must be bad

2) Check out the Zone sometime. 90%+ of the posts are middle-Left or harder. ID4 to them is like a crucifix is to a vampire.

Now back to the regularly scheduled arguement...
 
That trailer rocks...my only change would be to get rid of the distressed metal pseudo BSG looking treatment on the typeface, get back to the way it was done in the original trailer...that was classy!
 
The music adds a lot to the trailer.

It's a very stark contrast to the very drab and generic music we usually hear in Star Trek. And that was deliberatly mandated by people like Rick Berman because he didn't want the music to 'stand out' too much. I should stop now I don't want to get too far down the B&B hate line. But anyways, there is something fundamental and basic about this trailer that I rarely saw in shows like VOY or ENT or movies like Insurrection and Nemesis.

this is an edit that a fan did of the two trailers

It's a bit long, but I like a lot of things they did with it. :)


Edit:

There are a couple of more visual things which have been striking me about the trailer.

1) At approximately 0:52, when KirkPine has just landed on the drilling platform and is straining not to get dragged off the edge by his own parachute, is anyone else seeing a parallel to Boy Kirk straining not to slide off the lip of the quarry pit after the Corvette maneuver (0:33 in the second trailer)?

2) Then, at 1:20 -- ice planet -- KirkPine has just finished climbing out of the crater left in the ice by the impact of his escape pod, and staggers to his feet. I haven't been able to place it, but haven't we seen Shatner's Kirk in almost the same stance, posture and sidewise step in a TOS episode somewhere? I don't want to say for certain that it's a deliberate thing, but every time I see that bit in the trailer, it's like an echo of something seen before.

Yes !
Every time I see that scene I think it's Shatner there. But I can't remember if or where I've seen it before.

It's strange that I've never asked here :lol:
