Star Trek: Into Darkness - Announcement Trailer

So this time they're battling Space Sherlock?

Ahhhh, Khan. Now with a British accent and no fake muscle suit.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Is it just me, or does Benedict Cumberpatch's character look a lot like Michael Eddington from DS9?

 

[Something Amyss]

Japanese extended teaser. The bonus seconds are totally worth it.

 

[Webb Myers]

That's not Khan, it's a cyborg V'Ger!

 

[Canadamus Prime]

So who was supposed to have returned? And why can't I bring myself to get excited over this? Also I think Gene Rodenberry is spinning in his grave right now.

When did we last have a star trek movie that wasn't about vengeance? Don't get me wrong; I'm glad the franchise isn't dead (I enjoyed the remake and my mom will be thrilled when I tell her about this), but I honestly can't remember the last movie they had where the villains weren't motivated by revenge.

Remake: vengeful romulans
Nemesis: vengeful clone
Insurrection: vengeful outcast children
First Contact: vengeful borg queen (admittedly the least vengeful of the bunch)
Generations: dude just wanted back into nirvana

So yeah, counting the movie for this trailer, that's five in a row. I know there's more to this universe than revenge; it'd be nice to see it on the big screen.

Its most likely Gary Mitchell.

I saw a lot of water in the trailer, hopefully one of the characters is a whale biologist.

 

[Crystalite]

So, its about revenge... again.

Revenge for what? I don't know about you, but just some guy (no matter how hot his voice may be) wanting revenge for some undisclosed reason does not make me care.
Is revenge now some sort of codeword in Star Trek that is supposed to just automatically make me interested?
Can't we have a villain with some other motivation for a change?

Maybe it is just my wonderfully forgiving nature, but I can't relate to revenge that well.
At least not as well as this trailer seems to think.


Ah yes, I forget, maybe I'm not actually supposed to relate to the villain, but to the protagonists... Ok, what is their motivation?
I guess staying alive somehow. It's not like the trailer tells me more than that.

I'm sure the movie is going to be very pretty, lenseflares nonewithstanding, but I do remember a time when Star Trek was about interesting characters/societies and moral quandries...

 

[Ukomba]

Is it just me? I feel like every other star trek movie is about someone/something returning for revenge.

 

[BanicRhys]

I could have sworn that I've already seen a half of those shots before. I'll try to stay optimistic about this.

But still, I miss the 90s.

Already confirmed to be Khan.

 

[aceman67]

Already confirmed to be Khan.

Where's your proof? The only place that even mentions that Cumberbatch is playing Khan is IMDB, and they have "(rumored)" next to that.

Startrek.com says nothing.

Memory Alpha wiki says nothing.

Wikipedia says nothing.

If it was confirmed, as you say it is, This site would be reporting as such, along with EVERY OTHER star trek news site, most notably trekmovie.com

I suggest you go back and watch the TOS episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before", because you'd see a lot of similarities between some characters.

Total agreement with the "too much revenge" theme of this thread. (hmm Star Trek "In the future, there is only revenge...")

Also, that's one damn generic looking trailer.

Hmm, read in a couple of places that they'd confirmed. Might have misread or they might have been bullshitting - in either case, the final shot of the Japanese trailer is meant to be pretty explicit, I believe. More so than "blonde woman with bob".

 

[Xathos]

OK, I'm now excited. Looks like stuff is going to hit the fan, and not in a good way. Keep on dazzling me J.J.

Although for a teaser trailer, I didn't see that many lens flares. Bah, I'm sure that will be fixed in the actual trailer at some point.

 

[shieldheart204]

Ok, I was motivated by this trailer... wait, what was that? Oh, right this is a trailer of the TRAILER that will be released December 17, a couple of days after The Hobbit. Huh. Awkward.

I liked the reboot a lot, that being said from my first experience of the Star Trek Universe. Yet a lot of people (MovieBob) say that it was not Star Trek essence. So I really wonder if they will return to the core with this film or if they will simply continue mutating the franchise from what I hear.

So Question to you Star Trek Fans, if you did hate the reboot, why was that? I want to know why the hate or disappointing experience.

Hey, did anyone else notice that Andy Chalk has recently put up a very similar thread? I love it when users manage to find things before the staff.
