yeah, i realize that... now. I hope the Enterprise survives... Now I'm slightly worried. Does anyone know why Chekov is wearing red? Could he be working as an engineer in this film, since he's a genius and all? If so, he can come up with some crazy way to save the ship.

I don't think Orci and Kurtzman are cruel enough to completely destroy the Federation flagship before she's even a year old.

The falling from space scene would have to be in the middle of the movie when they first get back to Earth with the other ship(among others no doubt) crashing into the bay and various buildings blowing up. Hence why they would have to go to Q'onos to capture Harrison right after in this little ship instead of the Enterprise. Clearly it now seems that the term "detonating the fleet" is actually literal as first thought. I would bet that Harrison got the prefix codes for the ships around Earth(or any that would be in range) and synced it with the explosions on Earth. Some have mentioned that the damage does look like the kind caused by internal explosions and they could be right except for the scortch marks which im guessing are from the volcano resuce of Spock. Kirk(?) in the space suit avoiding the debris with our(?) moon in the background could very well be the same scene. What would Kirk be doing outside the ship leaving Spock in command I don't know.

And once they get back from this mission they find the Big E waiting for them(with minor changes at most!). The new girl is not going anywhere anytime soon. Logically its waaay too early to bring out a massive refit let alone the "A". Its only been a year if that after the events of the first. Come on peeps use your noggins lol.

And I would agree that the ship crashing into the bay and the one taking out buildings is the same one.

Then there is this place here. Looks like a massive starship armory or something. There are atleast three bays with what could be photon warheads and others with probably matter/anti-matter storage pods and such. A few seem to have some small ships(cargo ferrys?) which would explain the tunnel.

erk one issue with that thought process... the ent rising from the water isn't damaged...

...and takes place early in the movie.

[Shadowknight1]

The Enterprise has only been in service for about 6 months at this point.  Too early for a major overhaul, I'd think.

[Darkthunder]

Who says it's getting an overhaul? Even if it gets massive battledamage, it's possible that it will simply be fixed up to look like it did before the battle. Just look at Voyager and the whopping Year of Hell reset button.

I read somewhere or heard in an interview this film is set 4 or 5 years after the first.

Also that damaged ship falling into the planet's atmosphere has to be the Enterprise. In order for viewers not to be confused they will avoid having another ship that looks exactly like the Enterprise and let alone with a '170X' registry.

[Shadowknight1]

No mckinneyc, they've confirmed it was only about 6 months later, not years. http://trekmovie.com/2012/12/26/lindelof-on-how-destruction-of-vulcan-ties-into-into-darkness-much-more/

EDIT: After rewatching the three trailers we have so far...it really seems like JJ's toned down the lens flares since 2009.

Cheers for that article Shadow, glad only 6 months has passed

[ShaunKL]

My friend and I have a theory that the Enterprise will be knocked out of commission early in the movie due to battle/crash damage, and come back near the end with a minor refit.  (It has been mentioned, I believe by Bob Orci, that we're going to get an awesome beauty pass in the movie.)

Pity it hasn't been 6 months of real-time... 4 years wait is pretty long, if you wanna keep people interested in the franchise again. Then again, it was 7 years after Nemesis.

Might be another 4 years wait if Paramount wants Abrams to direct the next one too.  Certainly won't happen in two.

[mckinneyc]

I think the studios are realising you can flog a movie franchise to death and also having shorter intervals between movies can damage the quality of the films.

Also the reason I am glad only six months has passed is that very few film franchises deal with the consequences of what happened in a previous film anymore

[Shadowknight1]

New KREO-O merchandise has sorta spoilers.



The Klingon minifigure has what is clearly a Bat'leth, though definitely not exactly like the ones from TNG-onwards.  And to the left of the Enterprise set is a Klingon Bird of Prey set.

[Darkthunder]

Not really spoilers. The trailer clearly shows a battle taking place against Klingons (Bat'leth is seen), and they were supposed to be in the previous movie, but the scenes were cut (On Rura Penthe).

[Shadowknight1]

Hot Wheels are releasing some new ships this year, the Narada, the U.S.S. Excelsior, the U.S.S. Kelvin, and a fourth unknown ship.



Kelvin looks great.

EDIT:
This'll end well.

Might the comics provide -some- hint as to who 'Peter Weller' will be playing?
