But they at least had code names that stood out. And Otto Octavius is pretty obnoxious anyway. Gary Mitchell is the guy two doors down who mows the lawn late at night because he's so kooky.
You didn't see what he did there.
loki. lo-ki. low-key.
I will also see myself out.
Great movie! Also, the main bad guy in Road House was named Brad Wesley.

Yup. I am loving the lack of information about the film. It makes the anticipation greater, because we really do not know what to expect from it.
Pacific Rim seem doing this too.
This is just an internet exclusive teaser a week in advance to get hype going. The full trailer is actually coming out on December 17. There's also 9 minutes in IMAX in front of The Hobbit opening next week. It's going to be super spoiled within this month. Doing it right? Lol.
Not quite the same with comic book movies though as everyone has a normal persona and then a costume name, Peter Parker is Spiderman, Norman Osborn is the Green Goblin, in Star Trek Gary Mitchell is Gary Mitchell, lol.
The full trailer is just this one plus 1 minute, and remember ST09? That 9 minute IMAX scene will just be the equivalent of the George Kirk scene from it.
Ain't no thang (and I won't be seeing Hobbit in IMAX anyways).

Few call Norman Osborn Green Goblin anymore.
Keeping telling yourself that. After the 2:30 trailer + impressions from the 9min prologue, I bet we'll be able to piece together the entire movie! Lol Hollywood.
Could you have told me ST09 would involve time travel, Romulans, old Spock and such from the prologue? Didn't think so. That's why its being shown. Just a teaser to hype IMAX goers.
You keep assuming it's going to be the same thing. Being optimistic about blockbusters and marketing is a mistake. You will only be betrayed, and all your excitement and joy will be destroyed. Such is the fate of all things.

Yes? Nero +Romulans are shown in the prologue, asks what the star date is, suggesting time travel, and if I recall correctly, asks for the location of Spock. Though I suppose that wouldn't necessarily hint at 'old' Spock.
Who put out your fire, ducky? WHO?!
Are they? Welp, haven't watched in it a while. My point stand anyways - the first 9 minutes don't "spoil" the movie. Abrams is a stickler for secrecy.

It's a trailer full of action shots to draw in a non-geek audience, as the geek audience will show up regardless.
Wait till the movie itself.

Also, there was a version of one of the trailers for Trek 09 that ended with the shot of Old Spock saying "Live long and prosper."
One of the trailers also showed Vulcan being sucked into the black hole. Of course, we didn't know it was Vulcan at the time.
But I will agree that Abrams is a stickler for secrecy for the most part.
This seems moot given that it's a sequel.

I don't understand why people keep saying this. We truely don't know what he would think.
IF this was true though, he'd kill whoever made the TNG movies too.

Yeah but people are notoriously dumb and fickle. Having explosions in the trailer leads them in like moths to a flame

this is pretty much the quintessential duckroll post
I dunno. But I'll probably be seeing Life of Pi sometime soon. Maybe on Monday. Hope it doesn't suck.
I think he only cares about secrecy when it's a personal project with something worth keeping under the lid. When he's making a huge blockbuster for the lowest common denominator it's really not a concern at all. Just put in stuff which looks exciting, throw in reference-porn homages and little tidbits allowing fans to piece together the story, zzzzzzzzzz.
Considering the people writing the movie, there probably isn't any plot worth guarding anyway. Bet it's all turd!

Yep, Nero kills the Captain of the ship, thus resulting in George becoming captain. Not that it 'spoiled' the film or anything, but in hindsight, it gives quite a bit of clues towards the general plot.

As much as I can't stand Benedict Cumberpatch. That trailer was dope. Very very dope.
If that was truly the case Battleship would have made a billion dollars.
It didn't. Thankfully.

The TNG movies in general weren't all that great, First Contact aside, but I really enjoyed the New Trek movie.
Anyway, Roddenberry kinda lost his touch over time. The Wrath of Khan, the best of them all, had very little to do with him.

Seriously, be more open-minded people. I love Trek. I watched TNG religiously as a kid, and watched more than my fair share of the movies, TOS, DS9, & Voyager (never have tackled Enterprise). There's nothing wrong with Abrams making Trek more of an action movie. His first film was freakin' awesome, and this one will be as well. You don't need to have the same cookie cutter approach to every vision of this franchise.
There is a clump of salt where ducky's heart used to be. This is why you don't get invested in Transformers, kids!

It's a thing.
Was the Japanese trailer with the 7 seconds of extra footage shown?

First Contact was ok besides Picard's character change. He all the sudden becomes a revenge obsessed, gun totting, vine swinging badass.
The ST '09 movie was good for me. It was a necessary change for the medium as it had become stagnant and stale.

It's in the OP.

Well I'm excited.
There's taking a different approach, or "vision" of a franchise, and then there's completely changing the meaning and stripping everything that made it unique, which is what '09 did. Don't get me wrong, I liked '09 as an action film with some great special effects and entertaining moments. But it was not a good 'Trek' film by any stretch of the imagination.
All of the themes from TOS, TNG, DS9, etc. were gone -- replaced by a paper-thin plot worthy of the quartet behind the scenes and lots of Star Wars-esque explosions. You strip the charisma of the main cast and you're left with a soulless action film set in space. I'm probably an old man yelling at a cloud, but I want something a little deeper. What made Wrath of Khan so great was how it had those fancy explosions and lots of action, but also had a very heart-felt story and meaning behind it all other than "RAGE!" like Nero exhibited.

It was in the OP, but I finally watched it and those extra seconds make a very big difference in tone for me. Love it.

Whatever you think of ST09, that video is worth it. Especially the caption for Shatner.

Look at it this way: I would be able to tell you typed that without looking at your name.
