Sooooo...from the trailer I gather the plot involves a Romulan attack on Vulcan, what looks like an orbital tether and at some point has the Enterprise unexpectedly coming out of warp right in the middle of a pitched battle. Nice. Hopefully that means FTL sensors have been given the boot. Things are looking up for sure.
Oh and I know it's an odd thing to pick up on, but I love the HUGE buildings over the horizon in Iowa. Actually, is this film suggesting the shipyards are in the middle of a desert, rather than San Francisco? Makes sense I suppose.

Yeah, I saw that thing show up twice in the trailer. With the spinning back end on it, it reminded me of the Orion ship in the remastered episode "Journey to Babel".

It fires blue disruptor thingies towards the end of the trailer. So, maybe a fighter? Also do you have pic of what I think are shuttles that fly alongside what I assume to be the Kelvin.

Apple's servers are strained to the max it seems, Trailer 2 links show the first trailer, and Trailer 1 links show the Cloverfield trailer. :.)

Here's the Kelvin-shot, showing two shuttles in foreground, three green homing torpedoes flying towards the Kelvin and the shuttles. The red beam is the Kelvin's forward dorsal phaser bank, picking off one of the torpedoes just before it connects with the rightmost shuttle. The phaser beam kind of swings and weaves to hit the torpedo, like the Odessey did in the opening volleys of "The Jem'Hadar".

Thanks for the pic. There's so much to digest in that one shot: the aft details of the Kelvin, the shuttles (reminiscent of VOY's Type 9), the big Romulan ship and its torpedo/missile thingies. Can I go 2 for 2 and request a shot of the Enterprise as it warps away from the Orbital Office-looking station.

Hm. Step 1, and Step 2. There's really no intermediate, the frames in the actual jump just looks like you're inside a squid belly.

It looks like there's a Sisko/Saratoga style shot from one of those shuttles viewing the destruction of the Kelvin.
Also, it probably isn't one, but there's a ground level building with what looks like a UFP emblem on it in the shot where Kirk looks up at the scaffolding.
Really cool trailer over all. I'm still not keen on some of the designs (I don't think the individual pieces of Starfleet tech match eachother very well), but I'm far, far more enthusiastic after seeing this. It's great just to see so much money spent on it, really. Seems to have given them a lot more freedom over the story they can tell, at least when it comes to the villain's plan. You might not need $100m to show Vulcan being trashed by a giant space tether/particle beam, but I'm sure it helps.
