I've edited the thread because this may bring up possible spoilers.
Three comments I have on the teaser: 1) Lt. Cmdr Worf's Presence. How will they pull this off? 2) Starfleet Dune Buggies? 3) Maybe it is me, but I think that Ent-E gets blown to kingdom come on this one. Data appears to be jumping from the wreckage of the Ent-E. Perhaps that is how he will "die" in this movie.

1) Bad Writing. I mean, REALLLLLLY bad writing. 2) It's a jeep. No shit, a starfleet jeep. Still a favorite of the military complex, centuries from now. God Bless America. And it hardly looks like the stuff in Road Warrior. 3) Google will tell you in 0.05 seconds, if you really want to know. God Bless Google, for us impatient fanboys.

You haven't been keeping up the online scripts and Internet rumor-mongering, eh Tahna?
All your questions are answered online, but I ain't adding some huge spoilers to this thread.
The thing that struck me most about the teaser is the music. I'm assuming that the music are excerpts from Goldsmith's score. If that is true, I think the music will be a treat. It certainly sounds quite moody and somewhat mysterious. It kinda reminded me of ST6:TUC's teaser in this regard. Besides, Goldsmith is due for another good Star Trek score.
A big plus for this trailer is they didn't add any of the corny lines to it that have been hinted at online. This is a reversal from Insurrection's teasers and trailers where we got "Saddle up/Lock and load" and "Definitely feeling aggressive tendencies." At least the teaser here looks like the film isn't attempting to have a lot of comedic elements in it.
The effects work, overall, I think looks pretty good. I'm still undecided on how to feel about the Scimitar. It's really glitzy and all, but I don't think it looks too CGI-ish. It could be cool, but I'm going to wait until I see more the ship. The Jeep and its shuttle carrier, I think, look pretty good. I don't think the Jeep looks cheesey at all, and the shot of it jumping into its shuttle looked good.
Overall, I think the teaser was all right.

Eh, it's not so bad being corrupted by the Internet. Well, it is once you start paying money to actually join a porn site or one of the 24/7 voyeur sites. Then, you've got a bit of a problem.

to me, it looked like Data was jumping from the wrekage of the Scimitar, or another Romulan ship. i could be wrong though, obviously, since all we saw was half a second of wrekage.

But I went to the website and slowly... plodded throught the flash sections... and I saw a picture of the bridge crew - I think it's under the 'enterprise' section... and guess what--- I think the Conn officer is Lt. Ayala!!!!!! From Voyager. I think in "Homestead" he had moved to the Conn position - well when Paris wasn't there. And he was wearing command red.
Hey, It mightn't be him - but it would be good.
Oh and also it says that the Enterprise E was launced on stardate 49827.5 Would this be correct?

Based on the feel of the trailer and the overt Dracula feel of the website, it's obvious that they're going for a creepy suspensful kind of feel here. At least for the trailer. In my opinion, it's about time they did that with Star Trek. We need a Trek that makes me wet myself. I don't think they did it enough with FC which would have been the perfect opportunity.
I agree with the comment about the contrast to the Insurrection trailers with the corny catchphrases. They're obviously going for a different kind of feel here. All in all... I'm now excited. Definitely more excited than I was about Insurrection.
Did anyone notice how similar the Romulan capital city looks to the matte paintings we saw of it during TNG and DS9? I thought that was great!

Why does a jeep of the late 24th century have wheels? In all the Earth-episodes they had flying "cars".

I'm sure that there is still need for vehicles capable of moving on land rather then over land. Perhaps there is a method to interfere with the ability of shuttles and other ships to "fly" in an atmospheric environment, thus requiring something capable of movement without warp or impulse engines!

I was just sad that I have to wait to see it.
