So i saw the trailer and i am not at all impressed.  there is a lot of noise and fury in the trailer and stupid teen movie cliches all over. 

It looks like that transformers movie by michael bay.  The dialogue sounds stupid like the transformers movie but hey same writers.

Stupid action movie with girls thrown in to get the 12-14 year old male crowd.

Lots of stupid dialogue and explosions may be okay for ID4 but this is star trek.  Star Trek is supposed to be cerebral thinking man's science fiction.  Space Opera/Space Fantasy is Star Wars.

This feels like a bad robot jj movie and not like a roddenberry trek.

If people wanted that Alias flavor they would watch Alias seriously why do it with star trek?

This movie follows the same Militarism that Roddenberry hated that Nicholas Meyer introduced to the series in wrath of Khan and Undicovered Country.  But does not have the same class. 

The trailer just leaves me feeling empty angry and betrayed just like i felt from star trek nemesis and when enterprise was cancelled.  Enterprise may have screwed with Canon but the series had the same spirit of tos.  Gene's son embraced the show as a spiritual sucessor to star trek. 

I hope JJ is happy he ruined star trek to make a fast buck and bring in another empty bubblegum blockbuster full of fake cgi.

I'm not paying 10 dollars to see another one of my favorites be raped and violated went through that fairly recently with Indiana Jones IV, been down that road with episode III in 2005.  Attack of the Clones in 2002 and phantom menace in 1999, and 1997 when greedo shot first in star wars special edition.

It might be a slighly fun waste of 2 hours  that adds nothing to treks 40 years plus legacy.

The ilm cgi effects are more fake looking than the models were for treks 1-6. 

I am not at all impressed its like episode III and Transformers style effects in star trek.

Another movie that is just to show off how great CGI supposedly is. 

Can they make a single film these days that is not a complete cgi wankfest?

The casting is a joke Chris Pine as Kirk awful choice.  Now that i finally see some dialogue from spocklar bad choice on using Zachary Quinto.

The Child actor for Kirk as  a little kid worse than Jake LLoyd  as Anakin in Phantom menace.  Seriously I laughed out loud when he said my name is james tiberious kirk.

I laughed even harder when i saw that dude from Harold and Kumar as Sulu.  and the rediculous way he delivered his dialogue like he was in Harold and Kumar 3 meet spock.

The way this movie is they could have just as easily cast Hayden as Kirk.  You got the same angst thing going on, retarded.

Hayden Christensen canadian like William Shatner.

Why did they not get somebody who knew what the hell they were doing, this is worse, far worse than anything Berman ever did. 

Manny Coto's work on Enterprise season 4 brought back the old trek. 

This new incarnation is an abomination.

How awful JJ put his own stamp on trek to the point it is no longer trek but generic sci fi fantasy garbage.

 

Oh yeah the angry emotional spock in the trailer played by Quinto could not be any further from the Character of tos, acting more like a romulan than a  logical Vulcan.

When were Spock and Jim Kirk ever at odds and at each others throats, they were the best of friends.
