There's a New TV Spot Trailer Now

Somebody went Mike Tyson on Nero's ear! I bet the Klingons did that too him. Probably the normal brutal beatings they serve out to hardened criminals.:guffaw:
 
I love the forget everything. Its a not subtile way of telling casual viewers (who are the life blood of Trek, not us), and people who never were attracted in any way to Trek to give it a shot.

I'm taking the "forget everything" as we're starting this over how WE want it ....I really really hope I'm wrong about that. I'd rather that Trek just go the grave than it be raped & exploited for every last friggin thing that it has ...of course for the almighty dollar.

For fucks sake they should of come up w/ different characters then...I don't want them running Kirk & Spock into the ground and thru the mud. :scream: "starting over w/ different history...what??? Again hello hollywood can't u come up w/ anything new and fresh...WTF aren't they getting paid enough to come up with shit????. !@#$&^*(^@# As you can see I'm just a tad bit; ever ever so slightly negative. :)
 
Great spot, Quinto's delivery of "fear of certain death" was a little weak juxtaposed with the footage onscreen, but that's just a trailer thing.

I think this film is going to provide us with some interesting insights into the characters we know, adding to their mythology rather than detracting from it. :)
 
Ok I think we can safely assume now that the shot of Kirk in the dark environment is onboard Nero's ship in the finale of the movie. "James T Kirk was a great man" "The Wait is over" etc.... Kirk v Nero final showdown.

Actually, my theory is that Nero delivers that line much earlier. I think this is right after Captain Pike drops off his shuttle passengers for their skydiving excursion and goes aboard the Narada to parlay with Nero. I figure Nero toys with him for a couple of minutes before deciding to strangle him to death with his bare hands, or possibly skewering him with that funky scepter of his. Pike's last gasp is something about Kirk coming back to kick Nero's ass, to which he replies, "James T. Kirk was a great man, but that was another life!" Squeeze. Twist. Stab. Adios Captain Pike.

yeah i have a sneaky feeling the more nero tries to change the essence of kirk the more kirk becomes the person he was supposed to have become.

Batman: You killed my parents.
The Joker: What? What? What are you talking about?
Batman: I made you, you made me first.
The Joker: Hey, bat-brain, I mean, I was a kid when I killed your parents. I mean, I say "I made you" you gotta say "you made me." I mean, how childish can you get?
 
Is it me, or in this new commercial San Francisco looks less foggy / smoggy?

Trailer #3


TV spot #3
 
I am impressed at the amount of quality screen time Sulu seems to be getting - more then the character received in many of the original TOS movies. Granted, the fight scene may be it - but damn, who knew Sulu could kick ass like an action hero - LOL

I can understand that if you haven't ever been exposed (or enjoyed more to the point) any fictional universe that gets rewritten. While Trek is (and always has been my first tv love back to the late 60's), but I have also been into other fictional universe that have been over the course of the last 40 years reinvented tim and time again. Even on teh ones that I thought were absolutely awful, I have never felt that any new version has taken away teh enjoyment of those previous versions.

From film (I think the new Bonds and New Batman) have been the best of their films. And they are all new versions of the previous. NuBSG is so far superior to old that it isn't even funny. I have enjoyed comics for 4 decades and they often reinvent themselves, with both great and awful results, and I still enjoy the original ones I read, but I also enjoy the new.

So that aspect doesn't bother me in any way shape or form. Hell I love theatre and you often see reinterpretation of great works (and Trek isn't great work no matter how much I love it).

I will judge the film solely on how I perceive its quality. And hopefully I'll like it (I have liked what I have seen, but I also have seen several films with great ad material that didn't deliver in final product so I will have to wait and see).

Oh and as for hollywood creating something new, if they stuck with htat then we never would have had Trek on teh big screen or any sequel series. None of them were original creations. So I can't rationally hold that against them. It isn't rational.
 
They should've had this spot a couple weeks ago. The Wolverine movie's ad has been playing longer than that and it opens the week before Trek does.
