J.J. Abrams knows how to tease. There is just enough new imagery in this 30-second spot — especially of a smoldering U.S.S. Enterprise careening into Earth's atmosphere — to whet our appetites all over again for his Star Trek sequel. (Nerd alert: Does this mean Into Darkness will unveil the NCC-1701-A?)
The best moment, however, is reserved for this ominous exchange between Benedict Cumberbatch's enigmatic bad guy and Chris Pine's Kirk:
Benny Batch: I am...bet-tah.
Kirk: At what?
Benny Batch: Everything.
Does it feature an Inception foghorn? Yes.
