Star Trek was always "reality based" meaning, the people in the film are real human beings. (no offense to Vulcans) Which is what gives the series a real sense and we can relate to it.
The trailer looks like an action movie and they are turning Kirk and Spock into action heroes. Jumping off cliffs, etc... doing stunts that are not humanly possible, for shock value.
I haven't seen it yet, but I fear they are losing the Star Trek "feel" and turning the series into Mission Impossible 5 with space ships and aliens.
I hope the new movie has a script.
Remember "City on the Edge of Forever" written by Harlan Ellison?..... now THAT is Star Trek. These new movies don't come near the intellect or substance as the old series did.
Just a lot of flash and explosions for all the kids lit up on sugar to zone out on.
