Trekkin' like I just don't care

The New Star Trek trailer is out. I feel like I'll be holding my breath until this movie comes out. I want to get excited about the trailer, but I'm not quite there, and that is... troublesome.

See, I'm afraid that the end result will leave me feeling like I did after watching The Forbidden Kingdom. I really, really wanted to love The Forbidden Kingdom, because it was friggin' Jet Li AND Jackie Chan TOGETHER, and totally should have been epic, but in the end, I just... couldn't.

Similarly, I *really* want to love this movie to pieces, because it's bloody STAR TREK, and I've been nerding out over the Trek universe since grade school. I have my very own TNG communicator (which was an awesome gift that I've kept in a little cushioned box for the past 15 or so YEARS), I dressed up all Uhura-stylie for Halloween, I went to conventions and talked to big Klingon dudes. I forgave them for Star Trek V and the ridiculous God thing. I even forgave them for Nemesis, when the whole fan base seemed to hate it, because I just loved seeing my favorite crew on the big screen.

Word is, there's already a fair amount of retcon happening with this movie, and the trailer isn't quite grabbing me, and I have serious reservations about the new Kirk, and just... gah. If this movie sucks, I will personally kick J.J. Abrams in the gonads.

Of course, I still owe him a few groin kicks for Alias and Lost, so hey, we'll make it a party. :p
