The New Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer Features More Cumberbatch, Plot

We’ve gotten plenty of trailers for this summer’s reboot sequel Star Trek Into Darkness but, for the first time, we have some clues as to the plot of the movie.

The newly released international trailer for Into Darkness gives a bit more insight into Benedict Cumberbatch’s still nameless character and how Kirk and the Enterprise get involved.

I’ll admit that I wasn’t particularly sold on the movie up until now but now I’m thinking midnight release. I will walk over your cold corpses to watch this movie. (I am legally obligated to work that line into this post. If I can get my hands on a copy of Star Trek: The Video Game, I’ll work it into that review too.)

Sure, all the explosions, fire and destruction might seem a little off-putting in the sense that it seems too Michael Bay-ish but they are trying to sell a movie with this trailer. Considering the focus of this trailer was Cumberbatch, I’m hoping he’s the focus of this movie since his performance looks very impressive in this trailer.

Speaking of focus, were you paying attention during Alice Eve’s underwear scene? Okay, you probably were but you definitely missed something. A URL was hidden in the background that directed you to a kick-ass new poster.
