Star Trek Trailer Analysis

The new trailer has official premiered with Watchmen and online and the analysis has begun.

TrekMovie.com provides the best with a shot by shot breakdown of the trailer.

The highlights:
- Solid shots of the USS Kelvin fighting Nero's Narada with its 24th century technology.
- The USS Kelvin is TOS era Phasers and Pulse canons.
- Brief shot of the Kirk parents and baby Kirk.
- In class briefing by Spock at Starfleet Academy get glimpse of the once and future Enterprise crew.
- The black hole image of the black claw ship aka Nero's Narada more likely his method of time travel.
.
- The shot of a beam weapon firing is on a mostly water based planet suggesting San Francisco Bay, not Vulcan, is under attack.
- Still no clues on what planet is imploding.
- Captain Pike is at some point captured by Nero, which puts Spock in charge. Kirk picks a fight with Spock that gets him removed from command somehow allowing the Ensign to take command.
- Delta Vega is name of the ice planet that Kirk seems trapped on and seen getting attacked by Cloverfieldish type alien.
- Person Spock is hugging is Uhura.
- Women watching attack on Vulcan is Amanda Grayson (Winona Ryder).
- Towards end, when Enterprise is in some debris field, a corpse is highlighted by the sun in the background. Definitely not something would seen in old style Trek.
- Most of the starship damage shown in the film is not the Enterprise but actually the Kelvin.
