Wow...

Scroll down a bit for the most recent trailer (released on March 9th)

I wasn't real thrilled about this movie...until I saw this trailer.

It's gonna be pretty impressive. Star Trek has never had a budget before.

Oooh the new preview does look good. But I really liked the first one as well. I have the new Star Trek movie as my screensaver with the timer counting down the days till it shows.   ;D ;D   I was born the year Star Trek came on,,, and have been a Trekster ever since.  8)

Yes, this last preview helped a lot with my acceptance of this film.

I thought showing Kirk as a young man was dangerous territory, and showing him as a delinquent was sacrilege. And just HOW could a delinquent kid rise to captain of a Starship?? Have to say, this preview tied all the loose ends nicely.

If I got it all right, Kirk's Dad was a starfleet officer. A good one. He is forced to take command of a starship during an emergency and in 12 minutes manages to save 800 people, giving his life in the process.

This explains why Kirk is a delinquent kid, having grown up without his father, and explains why he was still accepted into the academy.

Looks like a lot of action, too. Looking forward to it now, although after Cloverfield, I still do not trust J.J. Abrams.

We'll see...

Hmm, I thought it fit perfectly. I always thought Kirk had that "rebellious, risk taking, delenquent kid" aspect to him even as a captain. One could hardly imagine him being some perfect little quiet type, student/nerd.  I didnt need to know anything about his father to guess that. Its just the way his character was always painted in the series.

I think the problem is with uber-Trek geeks who seem to think that if JJ Abrams doesn't stick to 'canon', then he's epic fail.

I think that you need to reboot a classic every once in a while (Battlestar Galactica) in order to infuse fresh ideas into it.

I'm going to 'be ill' on May 8th, I'm pretty sure.

;D

Don't get me started on Battlestar Galactica.

The mini-series was great. But after Season 2, that show jumped the shark. Terrible writing--too many plot loopholes (were they making it up as they go along?), the destruction of personal character, terrible attempts to shadow modern-day politics, I really hate that show.

Glad to see that it is over.

One could hardly imagine him being a vandal, or getting his butt kicked in a bar, either. I'm still on the sidelines on this one, although I have hope.

I don't think it was real bad after season 2, but I agree about the plotlines.  The whole Starbuck and Apollo sexual tension thing was really getting old in a hurry and as a result I quit watching it essentially around the time they kicked the crap out of the Pegasus.  That two parter was epic new BSG.

He isn't a vandal. Or the one getting his butt kicked.

Do you have plot details Scott?  The reports I read infer that he is a borderline vandal/troublemaker and Captain Pike, knowing who is father was, challenges him 'to do better'.

And it did look a little like he was getting his arse handed to him in that bar.

He is a bit of a troublemaker and aimless and getting in fights. Pike is a family friend like you mentioned and gets him to turn his life around.
