HONEST TRAILER: STAR TREK VOICE From JJ Abrams, the visionary behind Star Wars episode 7, and Felicity...comes a reboot impossible not to enjoy. Unless you're William Shatner. VOICE (CONT'D) Star Trek. VOICE (CONT'D) The cool new franchise that used time travel gobbledygook to throw away 50 years of canon. But who cares! Star Trek is awesome again. VOICE (CONT'D) Meet Nero. A Romulan out for vengeance after his home planet is destroyed. He'll be given a second chance to save his species when a black hole sends him back in time. But instead of warning the Romulans about their impending doom, he'll drift around waiting in space for 25 years. Come on, they don't have phones in space? VOICE (CONT'D) But there's one man who can stop him...Captain Pike...who's quickly captured. VOICE (CONT'D) Leaving only one other man...Commander Spock...who quits after an emotional breakdown. VOICE (CONT'D) Leaving only one other other man who can stop him... VOICE (CONT'D) Captain James T. Kirk, an angry drunk who is accepted into Starfleet without any paperwork, background checks or medical evaluations. VOICE (CONT'D) Come aboard, as Kirk commands the USS Enterprise. The federation's heavily armed Apple store, full of Mac Geniuses who rise through the ranks, not because of service or aptitude, but because of things like... VOICE (CONT'D) ...the flu VOICE (CONT'D) Death. Gross incompetence. VOICE (CONT�D) And sheer proximity to a clean uniform. VOICE (CONT'D) Experience a film that made nerds cry... VOICE (CONT'D) Nerds cheer... VOICE (CONT'D) And nerds go...whuh?
