Resonant Constellation

There’s a new Star Trek 11 trailer out. Needless to say, after it’s last outing (Not your father’s Star Trek), which roused my ire, this news provoked a moderated, but anticipatory feeling. About halfway into the thing, I had already made up my mind: it is awesome. I’ve watched each of the three trailers and several tv spots with great interest and for all three of the trailers, I have been amazed anew.

The first, I saw appended to the movie Cloverfield, and to tell the truth, it was the only reason I went to see that movie (I usually like horror, but the ridiculous unsteady cam made me physically ill). This first trailer, though woefully low on substance, made me rather excited, especially with the voice over by Leonard Nimoy. Later, when the second trailer came out, I was ecstatic that we actually got to see pieces of the movie, though this experience was marred by my having to get used to the new Star Trek universe-the new bridge, as somebody put it, looks like an apple computer threw up all over the place. Still, Zachary Quinto looks a dead ringer for a young Leonard Nimoy, and Simon Pegg is Scotty-these are very good things.

I hope you understand now when I say that this trailer blew the other two out of the water. I will not try to describe it, just go watch it. You will not be disappointed.
