+1 for First Contact (which incidentally was my first contact with Star Trek, in fact)
I like this trailer a lot, from the end of the rebel kiddo sequence onwards. The scene with the car may be relevant in the final cut (doubt it) but in the trailer it's just ridiculous.
The rest looks awesome.

First Contact was very very good. Having said that, I quite liked Insurrection and Generations, so what do I know. Also: Undiscovered Country is aces.
The rebel-in-car bit is meant to be from fairly early in the film, I think.

I thought I was the only person on the face of the Earth who liked Generations.

I care, because every minuteof celluloid wasted on a terrible squeaky child-Kirk, is a minute grown Kirk is not exploring new frontiers while being sneaky and underhanded, bedding alien women and overloading dilithium crystals.
That, and it's a phenomenally retarded looking bit of footage. Maybe it'll work in context but what the fuck.
Quoted for truth...
Anyway....Did not know this was in the making. What the hell, they'll get my 8 bucks.

I've been seriously worried that Abrams and co. will fuck this up big time. Abrams never really struck me as being as incredibly talented as the media would have you believe. Add in the fact that the movie is being written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, who both wrote The Island and Transformers for Michael Bay, and you have a movie that looks like it could go south very easily. Considering that Star Trek as a franchise is already on life support after Enterprise and Nemesis, this could very well be the final nail in the coffin.

First Contact is still my favorite.
This.

Since all the major points have already been touched on, I'd just like to know why there is so much fucking lens flare in that trailer. There's hardly a single cut in the entire trailer that doesn't have some optical blowout effect obscuring the scene.
Also, anyone who hasn't seen Wrath of Khan should be automatically and forcefully excluded from any Star Trek debate. No exceptions.

Wrath of Khan was on cable a week or so ago, and I watched it again after a while and, yep, still awesome ... tense, dramatic, poignant. And Kirk and Spock's friendship still kicks the ass of Denny and Alan's three ways to Charlestown.
I had fun with 4, The Voyage Home. It kept its humor, but was still a good story.
As for the trailer, shades of Phantom Menace there for a second, but the overall impression looked better than that. I like the idea of separating the characters from the actors or a rigid narrative, comic-book character like, since that opens up a lot of possibilities even if the movie itself is just so-so. I'm giving it decent odds, though. I hope it's good.
