One thing I've noticed is that the Enterprise seems to have a lot more action. As in, in all the battle scenes in the trailer, the ship seems to be way more maneuverable than any other incarnation of the Enterprise in the past. I think this is a good choice, as in most of the movies and shows the Enterprise has mostly been shown to stay still and fire at moving targets.

I love Trek, but it did need a reboot and I think the trailers show that JJ was being honest when he said that he was making this film for film fans and not for Trek fans. I would not worry about this film sacrificing the characters at the expense of action. If you've seen Lost or Cloverfield you know that Abrahams places a premium on the human elements of his stories. BTW I've also noticed that the bitching about the new NCC-1701 design has quieted down since the teaser came out and I think now, with the new trailer, it will die off altogether.

It's been quite a while since such a stir has surrounded ANY Star Trek movie, and I honestly believe (Especially after weeing the most current trailer), that this movie will re-energize the franchise. I simply CAN NOT WAIT to get my ticket for this one. Its high time for another BIG Trek movie, and I know J.J. will deliver! @ Vic & Gary

I felt the teaser trailer did a nice job of bridging that gap and the quality of the trailers has held up. This looks like more than a good "Star Trek" film; it looks like a damn good sci-fi, action film. That it's "Star Trek" just gives it some name recognition. To me, this isn't unlike what the James Bond franchise did with "Casino Royale," creating a Bond that would work for the general public and not just the hardcore fans of the franchise.

The problem is the "geek factor" of Trek - will they be able to overcome that and bring people into the theater that always looked down at Trek and Trekkies? Vic @Gary

I only ask because I thought your initial Iron man prediction was 80- 85 million wasnt it? Just hoping history repeats itself! Vic,

And the wait is killing me! But I will find a way! I must survive, no matter the cost!! :) I think you're right Vic. For me it's not a matter of if I'll see Star Trek on it's opening weekend, but a question of how many times! As for the other films that Bill mentioned: I'll see Wolverine since my wife is an X-Men comics fan and one of her favorite characters is Gambit. The rest: Who cares!! Star Trek lives! Again.
