Shots that are completely out of context, with a blaring horn section, and a british voice over (done wonderfully by Benedict Cumberbatch). This is a routine, yet effective teaser trailer for a big budget summer movie like this. While there still isn't much known from the trailer, we can learn this much. The USS Enterprise shouldn't be taking a bath.
The trailer begins ominously with shots of Starfleet Academy. Captain Kirk looks to be receiving some sort of commemoration, most likely for the battle with Nero and the Romulans in the previous film. We're then shown a moment where Kirk and Bones are jumping off what seems to be a giant red island, connected to other red reefs. All this with Benedict Cumberbatch whispering about how their world isn't safe.
By the end of his monologue, we're finally given a good glimpse at Cumberbatch's character, one who looks nothing like I thought he would. It still isn't completely clear who he is, but one thing does become clear. This is a villain with a purpose, to extract vengeance on someone for something.
From there we're shown shots of the rest of the crew including Spock brandishing a phaser, Uhura, Scotty, some falling crew members (red coats, we can assume), and a classic shot of the main cabin sparking up whenever the Enterprise is hit.
All in all, this is a perfect teaser trailer. One that captures the dark tone of the second film while not giving much away at all. Hopefully by the time I see the prologue in the Hobbit it'll all become a little more clear as to what's going on.
