Yes, but rather than be a victim of of advertizing or marketing ploys, it's the chatter of hardcore trek fans that has got me interested- mainly to see how badly they cock it up, to be honest. Not that paramount cares why I go to see their movie- ticket sales for crappy movies people watch are no different than sales to fans that loved the movie....but the inevitible merchandizing arm will suffer if the movie sucks: there was TONS of trek toys and such from the first JJ movie that gathered dust on shelves for over a year with no sales: it eventually got resold in bulk to secondary outlets like Big Lots,w here I saw the action figures from the first movie just this past month...and still no one was buying.
As to reasons to go- I like Cummerbunch as an actor- I liked the Sherlock series. Trek could certainly do with a well written (or at least well acted) villian. Tom Hardy (who hs sone on to some great parts) gave it a great shot as Shinzon, but that movie's writing and plot....man, I have ot watched Nemesis since it first hit DVD (and I own it). Still, Hardy's performane is the acting highlight of the movie.

Anyone been reading the tie in comic? Apparently, Rober April appears, claiming to be commander of the Enterprise. He also bears a resemblance to Peter Weller.

I have the first two graphic novel volumes, haven't been keeping up with it afterwards. Peter Weller as Robert April makes things interesting...

So, if a toycompany is to be believed, we will see a klingon bird-of-prey. Same ship as in trailer?

Well there were Birds of Prey before the splitting of the timeline, so hopefully the BoP will be getting the same kind of updated look the Enterprise got. I've seen the old BoP:s, I want more. And I thought the "proto"-klingon ships of ST:Ent were poorly executed.
If they can make the new one as sexy as these, I'm all in.

But...we already got jumbo-inflated KBOPs in Yesterday's Enterprise. Just like the Cloverprise, they made no sense, were 300% larger for no damn reason and remain an embarassment to the franchise...
