Star Trek Into Darkness Teaser Thoughts

Finally we have a trailer for the new Star Trek movie that isn't three frames. This movie is one of my most anticipated films of next year so it finally feels nice to have a trailer I can watch over and over again while waiting. But enough of my rambling let's take a look at the trailer.

So we start off with some nice panning shots of a futuristic city. I'm guessing there's some kind of funeral going on or another important Federation event. All the while our unknown villain is narrating about how Earth isn't safe and he's going to have revenge. We then cut to what I can only describe as a pyramid made out of Twizzlers and Kirk and Bones running from said pyramid. This is followed by a shot of the character being played by Alice Eve who I can only assume is going to be a love interest for Kirk. But then again when isn't a female character a love interest for Kirk. We get a brief glimpse of an action scene and it certainly is impressive. I wonder if those are Klingons that the bad guy is beating up. We could really use some Klingons in this movie seeing as all their scenes in the 2009 movie were deleted. We finally get a nice shot of the villain played by Benedict Cumberbatch.(That is such an awesome name) We start to ramp up as the trailer goes into the usual adrenaline paced ending as it shows various scenes from the movie such as Spock going into a volcano, the Enterprise rising out of an ocean, various people in distress, Kirk beating up Cumberbatch, the love interest screaming for some reason, and other shots of various crew mates. Our final shot shows everyone in horror as some buildings blow up and the Enterprise (or a ship that looks a lot like it) crashes into water. It all comes full circle.



So what do I think? Not bad. The teaser doesn't give away much of the plot and shows a lot of impressive scenes. My favorite parts where the aforementioned volcano scene and one scene where Cumberbatch swings a chain gun against his attackers.  It's pretty safe to say that I'm hyped for this film.(As if I wasn't already) I really can't wait to see the extended preview in front of The Hobbit.
