I must admit... I'm not just a Star Wars fan, I'm a Trekkie. :)

EDIT: Sorry for that.

As someone who considers Star Wars > Star Trek, i'm slightly confused why all the trailers for SW:TFA only managed to give me a feeling of mild anticipation and this trailer makes me want to watch this movie right eff'in now.




 
I've got even odds that this film is going to be a hot mess. I don't mind that this isn't going to be Trek like I remember it, but the last movie had so many problems story-wise (Into Darkness's entire problem is arguably the script) that I have difficulty believing that this film can do better.

Also, the designs for those aliens look trite and half-assed.

Agreed with That Man and Gray, I think the script needs to be fixed. Star Trek XIV should be the one which gets it fixed and right.

Oh please... don't tell me you're one of those people that voted Into Darkness the Worst Star Trek Ever. It may not be the best but it's way better than some of the first ones... It's certainly far more watchable. Never do I find myself wanting to watch Star Trek The Motion Picture or.. Final Frontier. Once was moooore than enough for those. Into Darkness? Sure, I'll watch that again.

And post your thoughts verifying that Into Darkness is the worst ever.

JJ Abrams isn't directing this one so maybe the plot won't be retarded.

But yeah, Into Darkness was still better than Generations, Motion Picture, Final Frontier, or *shudder* Nemesis.

Surprised they are blowing up the boat this early in the series.  Though they haven't really spent any time investing the audience in the Enterprise herself in this iteration of the franchise, she's mostly just been a conveyance.  Maybe they'll replace it with something that isn't so ugly.

how do you expect them to keep it intact when the helm can't see where it's going from the glare
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

and yet I hear the phrase "worse than Into Darkness" and the flashbacks start.

They going with the Script I guess ... 

... i.e. remember what happened in Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock?

yeah, bingo! 3rd movie = Enterprise go kaboom!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Nah. You can't lens flare a humpback whale.

Sure thing.

Let's all hope for the best that it turned out to be better than Into Darkness and the 2009 Star Trek film :D

Have to say, I've enjoyed the Star Trek reboots far more than pretty much all the Next Generation Movies, about on par with ST6 and ST2, and still more than the rest of TOS Movies.  Say what you will about Abrams, but at least the two reboots have been somewhat quick-paced and entertaining, facile nonsense about somehow rushing and failing to stop a supernova from consuming Romulus aside.
