And so on....
This is just from the two trailers and some plot detail, the movie will more likely have more.
This Film is looking more and more like an Star Wars/Starship Trooper rip-off then a star trek film .
-------
The commercial cost you a reported $3 million. You have the eyes of an entire world of potential ticket-buyers upon you. And you give them … stuff they’ve already seen? Virtually every shot in the "Star Trek" ad had already been glimpsed in trailers, or described in detail by journalists who attended J.J. Abrams’ footage previews a few months back. It leaves movie fans with two possibilities to consider: Either Abrams is too paranoid about spoilers to give us anything else, or all the good stuff is already out.

There’s nothing particularly exciting or new about the 30 second promo trailer for the new Star Trek film that was broadcast in the midst of the Superbowl. And by that, we mean there’s nothing that we hadn’t really been seen before.
Interestingly, Paramount is continuing to sell this more as an action movie rather than the latest big screen Star Trek outing, and there are one or two short snippets we hadn’t seen before. But it didn’t get our pulse racing.

from some comments from trekmovie:
It’s not just that he (kirk) says “man”. It’s that he says it like crazy, druggie

BUCKLE UP!
WOO HOO!
I LIKE THIS SHIP IT’S EXCITING!
C’mon, you can’t help but groan when you hear these lines. And I bet there are plenty more
-----
I agree that JJ is annoying as hell.
I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I can’t believe anyone would stick up for JJ. I mean, c’mon people, this is the same guy who wrote Forever Young for Gods sake. He’s probably the luckiest guy in showbiz considering his talent to compensation ratio.
But we’re all going to see his damn film anyway, aren’t we?
And ultimately, that’s all he and the studio care about. Us emptying our wallets and pocketbooks on tickets and merch.

Why is the Abramsprise fireing Star Wars Laser?
---
wow, this keeps getting worse. Sorry, it really does.
----
Star Trek Vi will be like Gone with The Wind compared to this “Star Trek” movie coming out in May.
----
whoa whoa whoa whoa, wait up. THAT’S SAN FRANCISCO? Really? I mean…really? It looks like Coruscant from Star Wars.
They had it perfect TMP.
Why change it?
-------
What I mean is that it is of it is for kids but deals with some philosophical/theological topics that may go over their heads. It’s a good movie though.
The second one is even better. It’s called Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. It’s actually a serious movie and very well done and tackles a lot of adult oriented themes such as life/death, growing old, and sacrifice.
Just don’t expect any wicked cool lines that are aimed at The Transformers crowd such as “WOO HOO” or “Buckle up.”
Or my personal favorite “I like this ship! it’s exciting!” *shivers in disgust*
-------
Star Trek: The Motion Picture. You may have heard of it. It’s totally different that this new Star Trek movie coming out, because well…it’s not made for kids and it really is a human adventure for the soul. You should check it out sometime.’
---------
I’m sorry, it just looks so childish. Like it’s specifically aimed for kids.

hy are you talkin’ to me man?” Just makes me mad hearing it., Makes you mad? Makes me VERY VERY NERVOUS!!! I have tried so hard to be accepting of this movie, accepting of the new group of actors, accepting of YES the MANY MANY MANY radical changes of this supposed altered timeline. Guess what this NOT even an altred timeline, because in altered timelines — the “players” remain true to their characters. Kirk saying “man”, are you kidding me? Even a “casual” Star Trek knows better than that. I’ve reviewed the clip six times and still (pardon the pun) CANNOT believe my ears. This isn’t Star Trek — this is “21 Jump Street in the 23rd Century”.
---------
You guys are just a bunch of cheerleaders for this film (Anthony, I’m looking at you).
Promo looks nothing like the shows we know and love… and why is Kirk’s face still bloody on the shuttle from Iowa? So he gets drunk, gets in a fight, and gets invited to the Academy the next day? Doesn’t he at least have to take the SATs or SOMETHING?
--------
You have to open your wallet to view it, regardless of the mind being open or closed.

Big Red Lazer reminded me of:
Stargate Atlantis: the Replicator’s sattelite weapon.
Star Trek Enterprise: Xindi planet destroyer, the Verteron array
(007) Die Another Day: sattelite gun
