Saw the trailer before IM3; am I crazy or does it look completely awful?

The initial teasers and the first theactrical trailer (maybe) made it look pretty good, IMO. The TV spots and stuff have not seemed so favorable.

I think it will at least be decent/entertaining. Maybe not as good as the previous film (which you nerds apparently hated, anyway). Anything should be able to outdo Eric Bana's shitty villain.

Well this is the only trailer I've really watched, but it looked very bland and generic. The Superman trailer looked far more interesting to me. :hmm:

It's hard to know what it's about at all, other than Cumberbatch causes a raucous, and Kirk et al. blow stuff up to stop him.

I like Cumberbatch, not a huge fan of that Kirk though.

This is the internet...surely somebody has done a study on what cameras in space would actually capture. 😛

Would they be more prone to picking up lens flares from ship lights, nearby stars, reflective planets/moons, ect?

At least Abrams creates the flares practically instead of CGI'ing them in (with the obvious exception of exterior all-CGI shots).

So how would you explain a camera on the bridge of the ship loaded with lens flare in an atmosphere?
 
I was going to make a lens flare dig, but I see you guys already have that covered.

Keep up the good work, gentlemen :thumbsup:

I just hope this next one isn't as insulting to my intelligence. I mean, a supernova destroying multiple star systems? And the only way to stop it is by making a black hole? Yeah...

I saw one trailer that really bugged the hell out of me.

Basically, it was like this:
  • I'm gonna get that guy.
  • How are we gonna get this guy?
  • Let's go get this guy.
  • I'm going to make this guy pay.
  • This guy isn't getting away.
  • I'm gonna get this guy.
  • Come with me and we'll go get this guy.

They bumped it up to a Thursday opening meaning a Wednesday night "midnight" show...but I have to leave for a flight at 5:30AM the next day. Looks like I'll watch it on my own next week. 🙁
 
Watched a trailer just now. It really is rapid-fire:

I request permission to go after him.

I'm watching it anyway. That's probably just a really poorly-edited trailer.

Ugh, yeah... I got an e-mail saying that the theater changed my showtime, but I can go and have it changed again to something else if I want. I might change it to Sunday because then it's $2 cheaper and there's a better chance that my shirt will be in, which we know is the important part. 😛

Yeah and why did Spock bother with the red matter when routing the warp drive through the deflector shield would have done the same thing? Seriously, I'm having trouble suspending my disbelief here.

Nobody sane will argue that Star Trek hasn't always used technobabble as a convenient crutch for its stories. However, one little supernova being a danger to the entire galaxy is beyond the pale.
