Wow.

Looks like he can't be Khan.

But it does sound like he is a super human, He looks human (not that that mean much in trek) and he says he is better in everyway, maybe a simple boast but...

Also it looks like the Enterprise is screwed...

Yeah, I don't think it's just a boast; he's beating Spock in the trailer...

Maybe the Federation dropped their ban on genetic enhancement in this timeline.

Awesome.

An excellent point was made is what if this new character is as epic as we could think but a the end he is a minion of Khan. A man who Kirk cannot face alone without someone dying.

Ends the argument on if the Enterprise is raising out of the water or going in... also gives some great scale comparisons for size.

I like the comments though. Sherlock Holmes vs. James Kirk. Interesting. Though I would like to see an arguement between Spock, Data and Holmes and House MD.

As cool as it does look. I want scifi, not a thriller in the future.

There will be no House vs. Sherlock arguments then. Pity.

Might still be Mitchell though.

Well it "could" be Kahn. Just unlikely.

Maybe they found the Botany Bay and recruited him and his men as operatives? Peter Weller's character says "he's one of our top agents."

Definitely.

Why not? Someone found the Botany Bay, Khan took over, went to Earth under an assumed identity and tried to take over again from within. Or just destroy earth.

WOW indeed!!

I really want to know what their using for the FX; Houdini's particles? Something else? Something totally new?


I read on CG Society I think that they actually did write new physical simulation software to give the Enterprise and other debris a more realistic feel.



EDIT: Yep, here it is:

ILM developed a special tool called "Fracture."

I bet you can't guess what it does. :P
