I'll admit Star Trek Into Darkness has been leaving me lukewarm. Mostly it's been the jerking around about Cumberbatch's character (now named John Harrison) but the whole production has come across just overly dark and serious to an almost ridiculous degree. But the new trailer has piqued my interest.
Okay, now I get what kind of movie this is. Cumberbatch is the big bad (still don't know what his deal is but whatever) who attacks the Federation. Kirk, being the cocky bastard he is, goes after him. But he gets in over his head and Cumberbatch knocks him down, pretty badly if this trailer is any indication. So Kirk has to come back, overcome his trauma and beat Cumberbatch.
So it's a hero rises from the ashes story. Cool, I can get behind that. Been done before, probably even in Star Trek, but it's a solid enough foundation to build a movie off of. Though what's the deal with Cumberbatch's big black evil Entreprise? Bitching aside, that's pretty cool and makes me want to know more.
