@TheConjurerOfCheapTricks , @Timely-Tardis-Lego , @rabidronnie , @Someguy . I just watched The Hobbit with the preview Star Trek...and just because i promised i would give a break down i've buried it in the archives in case "the man" shuts me down. So the opening has Mickey from Doctor Who waking up with his wife and you can tell they are ragged and weary from something. A date stamp tells us it's the year 2259. Mickey and his wife arrive at the London Children's Hospital and they visit their daughter who is very ill (or so we are led to believe). Cut to Mickey standing outside taking a break when a voice comes from behind. "I can help your daughter." It is the character played by Benedict Cumberbatch. "Who are you?" asks Mickey...but it cuts away before we find out. We are now on a distant planet and we see (in a scene reminiscient of Raider of the Lost Ark) A person is being pursed by a group of native people to the planet. This is Captain Kirk and he is leading the natives away from their camp as we discover the civilization is on the verge of destruction thanks to a volcano eruption. Cut to Spock, Uhura and Sulu on a shuttle, Spock is going to be lowered into the volcano to detonate an "ice bomb" that will hopefully stop the Volcano. Spock and Kirk argue back and forth about breaking the prime directive by Kirk exposing himself to the villagers. Spock and Uhura have moment before Spock is lowered into the volcano implying they are still an item. While Spock is lowered, his cable snaps and he drops onto a land mass still untouched by the lava flow. Cut back to Kirk and Bones who leap off of a cliff to escape the villagers and into an ocean containing the Enterprise. Apparently to not break the Prime Directive, they hide the Enterprise in the ocean meaning that no one is still compfortable with beaming in and out. Sulu and Uhura tell Kirk that Spock is stuck inside the volcano and Spock tells the crew he will still detonate the "ice bomb" at risk to himself. The preview comes to a close with Spock apparently making peace with situation of dying via lava or the blast of the ice bomb and the crew of the Enterprise trying to decide if they should break the prime directive by raising the Enterprise out of the water and into the volcano to save Spock...I wonder what will happen?!? Visually this movie is stunning and it looks like wall to wall action which has officially replaced Pacific Rim as the movie i have to see in 2013!!!!
