I was part of the production team.Idris Elba is Ian Wright, a Starfleet commander who disappears while exploring the Unkown Frontier. The Enterprise is shot down while searching for him, but it turns out he's a traitor who has rallied an army of undocumented species from the Frontier to overthrow the Federation and seize control of the galaxy.
Sofia Boutella is the sole survivor of an ancient alien race that created a monolith that allows mass teleportation. Elba wiped them out when they refused to join his army, and plans to use the monolith to launch an offensive against Earth. Boutella has sworn to stop him. She's also Kirk's love interest and dies.
Most of the movie takes Palace in the warrior race's homeworld, which Elba now rules, with the crew trying to evade many perils to make it to the damaged Enterprise, fix it and stop Elba.

Sounds like a pile of shit.
>>63718284
Sounds like it'll be good
The ship literally gets blown up in the trailer, how the fuck do they fix it?
>>63718284
So they just tossed away the whole set up from IT?
Does anyone honestly care about this franchise? The hardcore Trek fans obviously don't and it makes dick compared to capeshit and Star Wars.
>that complete bullshit
it was reported already that idris is playing a never seen species of alien you fuck
>>63718609
OP is full of shit, that's how they fix it
>>63718284
Isn't Elba in the trailer? I thought he was that weird looking alien they do a close up on for a few seconds
>>63718284
Isn't that apocalypse now?

This is JUST the type of rehash I was expecting, it's nothing but a glib facsimile.
If Star Trek was all I had access to as a child in terms of sci-fi I probably would become one of those crazy fanboys, but thankfully I had access to anime from very early on in my youth years that my mental balance is very stable.
Seriously, if you have watched Akira, you'd realize just how sophisticated anime is and it blows away anything Star Wars would have to offer.
A lot of people mention Ghost In The Shell, which has just enough of sexuality in the mix to draw in the western audience I suppose but I must say that Ghost In The Shell is not even in my top 10 anime, not even close, that's just how deep the world of anime is.
Some anime is so disturbingly mature like Fractale that I wish it would challenge the system and submit it as a Drama category in the Oscars just to bitchslap the snotty Academy.
It's not just the level of maturity and sophistication anime has, it's also quite original, entertaining, and visually fantastic. I would regard anime as the highest form of cinema art-form.
But hey, me preaching about anime won't do you any good, you gotta go out and see it for yourself just how much you are missing.
The recent one I would recommend to check out is Sword Art Online which is light and easy to get into anime for the first time yet appreciate it as much, but if you want the heavy stuff right off the line check out Guilty Crown in which the plot is so complex and twisted that you'll need extra oxygen pumped into your brain in order to comprehend everything, and if you want amazing visuals and a gripping drama that also has awesome mecha battles Aldnoah.Zero is the shit.
Seriously, if you know anime like I do, Star Trek looks like it's something for little kids.
