The sheer emotion of that trailer

Typeface shmypeface.:p

It just wasn't italicized...that's all. The typeface was still technically the same as the classic TOS logo.
 
It's a kickass trailer, that's for sure and no doubt about that, but I never really felt any surge of emotion while watching it.

For me that came with the teaser trailer, especially Nimoy's stirring "Space.. the final frontier.." and the preceding speech by Kennedy which can be heard in the background (something I always found emotionally charged and timelessly inspiring).
 
The trailer music is done by Two Steps From Hell. It's a modified version of the piece "Freedom Fighters" off their album Legend.
Thanks! Too bad it's not Giacchino's score but - imho - it makes this trailer.

I'm in the goosebump, misty-eyed crowd, too, despite my initial ambivalence. It happened, of all things, when the E was flying through the debris field after Kirk's little salute. The thought appeared in my heart (not my head): "They're getting it right. Oh my goodness, they're getting it right..."

Tear. Almost
.

Ditto!
I have only read thru page 3 of this thread so far... and maybe this has already been mentioned... but when I hear the music for this new trailer, it reminds me of the soundtrack theme for The Dark Knight. Anyone else?

Yes, a lot of people have said that about Dark Knight.
It's not from the Dark Knight though.

The song is named Freedom Fighters by Two Steps from Hell :)
There were a couple of threads on this song around here.

Thanks! I figured it had already been mentioned... numerous times... even my sister, who is not a fan of Trek, but loved the trailer mentioned the whole Dark Knight sound.
Also.. thanks for the title info! I also look forward to a great soundtrack!!

Kevin Smith said XI is the best action film he's seen since DARK KNIGHT. I hope he's right. I respect his opinion.

The man who wrote and produced Clerks, Dogma and Chasing Amy. Oh yeah. His opinion definitely has weight with me. :D
