Whoa, when did Steve Buscemi's corpse start getting starring roles in movies?

This trailer offers no reason to bother seeing this movie. What? Sarah Silverman has a supporting role? What? It has Peter Dinklage spewing foul lines? What? It has quirky, ironic humor?

From what I see here, its not fair to say this film is being released but being dumped.

I could be wrong.* This could be the greatest film ever made. Time will tell.

Coming to a McDonalds or Taco Bell near you.

I see this and it's not exciting, it's not compelling, it is just sad. I don't say this as some hyperventilating Trekkie cranky the original has been dissed. I say this as someone who feels like our water supply is being replaced by Brawndo. As a people, we are what our culture creates, it reflects us. We're creating nothing. We're just fumbling with the corporate baubles of our parent's generation and telling ourselves its treasure. Sure, this flick will tickle your eyes for ninety minutes but so what? So will a screen saver. When is this derivative culture going to end? I'd joke and say "when we start to remake the remakes" but we all know that's not true.

Okay, enough of my bellyaching about stagnant culture. On with the trailer.

If you don't find yourself rolling your eyes over the opening sequence, your standards are way too low (read: you're part of the problem). This really isn't that great of a set up. It relies heavily on the expectation that it have the depth of Nolan's Batman franchise redesign while also throwing in nonsense like the opening sequence. This is a conflicted message. What we will most likely get is a movie that acts serious but isn't. Since its intended for modern tastes expect lots of dramatic moments completely void of any meaning. Its Trek for beyond the geek set.
