   I'm a 'john' when it comes to Trek. I pay to get screwed.   
      
   The last two movies were *terrible* - a betrayal to a great show and cast.   
      
   This is a 'reboot' - new original ship and sets, and new back stories to   
   characters. If the fans buy it and it gets a few good reviews it'll be a   
   hit.   
      
   I hate these trailers. The bridge is retina-burning white, the pajama's have   
   been 'updated', not 'disposed of', and the new ship kinda reminds me of a   
   50's Cadillac.  But I hated the X-Men trailers for similar reasons, and   
   ended up really enjoying the movie. Plus I enjoy Abram's other work, so I'm   
   hopeful.   
      
   But if all I get is screwed, at least it's only 10 bucks.
