Hope someone can mirror lol shit got removed
We all remember the flourishing franchise that was Star Trek anno 2008. Abrams, you fucked it up! :'-(
The Voyage Home taught a little-kid JeffZero whose grandmother had it on VHS that whales have a language of their own and maybe we're not as smart as we think we are.
And if it took a stupid Star Trek movie to teach me that we're all stupider than we thought, well, that's some Bilbo Baggins fireworks shit right there.

You just can't understand the deep, deep philosophical core of Voyage home.
But if I agreed that it was dumb, I'd say there was two kinds of dumb. The good, fun kind of dumb with no pretensions, and then this soul-sucking, banal idiotic dumb as seen in this trailer.

I like 2009 and enjoy watching Into Darkness despite its issues.
This doesn't look good, though.

I'm very anxious that Beyond won't live up to the magic of the Abrams movies. I ADORED them and they made Star Trek cool for me.
I hope that Justin Lin can bring his A game and make Beyond just as sweet as 2009 and Into Darkness and I hope that Abrams can make Star Wars cool for me, just like he did for Star Trek.

Just agree that its dumb. Don't try to create a separate category of "safe" dumb. Especially a type of "Star Trek Dumb" that doesn't include "pretensions" as a key ingredient. Because that's almost as ridiculous an argument as the one saying the movie introducing the time travel slingshot and Scotty yelling into a mouse wasn't "dumb" in the first place.
People need to stop acting like the mere act of watching Star Trek makes you a smarter, better person. It's just as bullshit and ridiculous as any other TV show/film series for LAAARGE swaths of its runtime.
Which is perfectly fine, by the way! It's okay.
For those questioning whether the budget was slashed, I just found this gem:
Courtesy of TrekCore.
If that excludes marketing costs (and I assume it does, for myriad reasons) that's actually slightly higher than STID.

The internet opinion engine (IOE, patent pending) has opened a portal to a distant dimension in which Enterprise's fourth season was rating higher than American Idol and Nemesis was lightning in a bottle.
Real Talk: Voyage Home is my favourite Trek film. Another one of those would be top level for me.
That is the Dark World if there ever was one.

A mainly comedic sci-fi adventure would be awesome, I agree. I haven't seen this trailer (the links have been pulled) but if that's what Lin & Pegg are trying to bring, I'm absolutely not against it.

Good lord, how does this look worse than Into Darkness? So the Enterprise explodes and the only people who survive are the main characters... and the Captain's Motorcycle? I hope this shit bombs hard so we can move on and pretend this "alternate timeline" never happened. Trek was better off dead.
Edit: Nevermind, saw the English version that isn't washed out and noticed the rest of the crew imprisoned.

Well, aside from the way-too-obvious song-and-vehicle-stunt callouts to 2009, this actually is almost recognizable as Star Trek. Unlike 2009 and ID. They're actually on an alien planet for an (apparently) extended period of time, interacting with aliens who speak and who aren't (all) out to collect on some kind of grudge!
I like the new uniforms. They're credible.
Looks like an official upload is out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcXgHpwXqro
And once again, that doesn't mean they should be trying to replicate the dumb stuff going forward. They can do better.

Incorrect. Say what you will about the previous two Abrams Trek films (and I HATED the second film) but both had great early trailers, especially the trailer for the first film which had that stirring Two Steps To Hell track.

I didn't wanna see it... Then my friend shoved their phone in my face...
Oh... My god. They actually did it, despite time crunches, changes in directors, and all that Jazz, they finally really did it: This IS Some Kind of Star Trek!
Jesus Christ, the wait for more is gonna be completely unbearable. The costumes look great, Captain Kirk's favorite band is blasting, final frontier, foibles, amazing art direction... This looks fun, a fun and true celebration of what Star Trek is and can be, even though it is a mere window of the final product.
Truly, this is worth of also being referred to Star Trek: The 50th Anniversary Motion Picture.
I... I need to blast some Beastie Boys/Giacchino now. This is the best first trailer for a Trek in this series, without a doubt.

Star Trek as a propertery had been going down hill for quite some time prior to the Abrams reboot and, per Box Office Mojo, even adjusted for inflation, that first Star Trek sits atop the franchise as the most successful film. I just didn't care for that film or Into Darkness at all and it does feel like these films are moving further and further away from what I think Star Trek is, outside of keeping the names and landmarks the same.
Regarding dumb films, maybe it needs to be separated out into multiple descriptors because there's clearly "dumb" that works, in the better Farrelly movies for example, and the "dumb" that doesn't work, in the other Farrelly movies (Hi, Dumb & Dumber To!), the more recent Adam Sandler movies, etc.
If Voyage Home is "dumb" (and I'm not sure I would call it that-- it's certainly lighthearted), I'd put it firmly in the "dumb" that works category.

"What could be a shittier and less appealing idea for this series than Picard racing in a dunebuggy....? Hmm, how about Kirk doing sick dirtbike stunts!"
Looks fucking dire.
Looks fucking dire.
I'm more positive after seeing the official version in English.

It'll probably be bad.
But I feel like this trailer is just really really awful at selling what the movie is about.

It was loosely based on existing TNG episodes I believe. If memory serves me correctly it might have been "Who watches the watchers" and "Homeward". So I enjoyed it by virtue of the fact that it just felt like a long TNG episode. it has its flaws for sure, but I still enjoyed it.

And why would I want them?
looks good!
Pretty it's just the accent.
He's actually commented already that there isn't as much of him as there could have been, because all his duties on the film from the production side of the fence tore a hole through his schedule.

After seeing it in English, it still looks awful.
This probably why I was really into it straight away. Very adventure based, a nice lighthearted tone. I'm real positive so far.

Huh?
His first two ST movies were received well and were both fairly successful at the box office.

I am a huge Star Trek fan and while I did rather enjoy the two nuTrek movies for what they were (trek-themed action movies) I won't lie, this trailer gave me Insurrection/Nemesis vibes. I still believe that Pegg can deliver a good movie but the trailer has me a bit worried.

Looks awesome. Thanks.
That's the internet hivemind for you.
So the movie they're releasing to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Star Trek starts off with the Enterprise -- the mascot for the entire fucking series -- being destroyed right in the beginning? Sigh.
While it certainly doesn't look as bad as the early GAF posts indicated -- go figure -- it just doesn't seem to have the presence for such an important hallmark in the franchise. Ah well, we'll see. It at least looks better than Into Darkness.
