Star Trek Into Darkness Announcement Teaser

Paramount released the "announcement teaser" to Star Trek Into Darkness. A full trailer (Oh lord this is more "teaser to a trailer" crap) is out December 17:

First thoughts:

• Benedict Cumberbatch sounds like Patrick Stewart with an American accent.
• Spock lands on a volcano planet, of some sorts, echoing Revenge of the Sith.
• Alice Eve's unnamed beauty (Carole Marcus... I hope not) screams at an off-screen threat. How slasher-movie of you, J.J.!
• Destruction galore, on the bridge of the Enterprise, on Earth, panicked running and mournful faces (Scotty comforting Uhura). Lacking the "fun" nature of the '09 reboot. Everything is glum here. Classic sequel marketing; up the ante and show it's for real.

An extra, few seconds from the Japanese version feature a familiar image. Two hands "touching"separated by glass; one in yellow, Starfleet uniform and the other in blue.

Misdirection or is Abrams saying they really are retreading Wrath of Khan territory? Hell, we still don't know who Cumberbatch is playing and his "For I have returned...to have. my. vengeance!" speech sounds like Khan. Please let it be the former. Otherwise, yeah, good trailer.

Cumberbatch sells that trailer.

Not impressed. So this gets a pass for repeating Wrath of Khan?

This site could be great if that ass Jamie would stop being so cynical on every damn post. I think I'll stick with /film.
