Full ‘Star Trek’ Trailer Takes Off in Bootleg Form

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on November 15, 2008

While I would recommend heading out to your local theater and seeing the new trailer for Star Trek in front of Quantum of Solace — both for the reason that a bootleg version won’t do it justice and because Quantum is a really fun flick — it can now be seen online thanks to a few intrepid fans and their sneaky tactics. As we explained a few days ago, the Trek trailer will make its official online debut on Monday. Of course, that wouldn’t stop fans from recording it and YouTube from hosting it — though I would urge all of you to act fast and watch it below before Paramount has it taken down.

As for the official business of my opinion, I was impressed by this trailer when I saw it yesterday in theaters. Though it is important to point out that I am not, I repeat, not a Star Trek fan by any measure. I’ve dabbled in the original series (who hasn’t?) and I’ve caught some of the more modern films in passing, but overall I couldn’t tell you thing one about Star Trek beyond what you could find on Wikipedia. That said, the film that J.J. Abrams appears to be making should target people like me very well as it has a very glossy, CG-heavy summer action movie look and feel to it. From what I hear. this may not go over well with long-time Trekkies. Though, me speculating about what is going on in the minds of Trekkies would be, as Spock would say, highly illogical. Instead I will just show you the trailer below and allow you to enlighten me in the comment section.

Star Trek hits theaters on May 8, 2009.

I'm not even a Star Trek fan, and this trailer was better than Quantum off Solace

So Kirk was a delinquent, Spock is emotional & aggressive, Uhara canâ€™t keep her clothes on and Scotty seems ever-so-slightly insaneâ€¦ but theres some original sound effects folks!

but putting the canon down for a moment, that was sure one hell of a trailer, the kid in me canâ€™t waitâ€¦

Kevin Kelly

Did you call Quantum of Solace "fun"? Dear god. Dear, dear god. I agree with Dan, this trailer was about 10 times better than that movie.

@tinfish: about the first part of your comment......where's the downside? lol I wasn't expecting this from the movie, looks really good

This looks very good. It appears to be a real departure from the static plodding feel of previous Star Trek films. It looks like Abrams has released the characters from the time capsule they've been trapped in and brought them up to speed, made them modern. Star Trek may have always been set in the future but it has been trapped in the past movie making wise.
Looks like this could revive the entire Enterprise.

Mister Hand

Not so sure about the whole stopping the Corvette and then launching yourself off the edge of a cliff and then hanging on and climbing back up, but otherwise.... BOOO-YAAH!

D Train

What do you mean, Mister Hand? You've never gone Corvette-Cliff Launching before? It's a blasty, you should try it.
